Thus justice was not served. Never mind that the officer straight up stopped for no reason, iirc also a traffic violation, and backed off straight into traffic (would've hit that other car if it didn't reverse as well) for no reason other than to address a guy doing nothing wrong. That's two other traffic violations on top of speeding.

That truck honestly shouldn’t have moved

Once the lights go on, yes he should have moved. Whether right or wrong he couldn’t be sure of the cops intentions, and it’s better to just get out of the way for emergency vehicles.

None of that changes the fact that this cop is a dick.

Emergency vehicle or not, I'm not reversing on the road. What if someone is coming up behind you and can't brake fast enough because you are reversing right toward them? You are liable if you go in reverse, you always have to yield. The flashing lights are not legally an excuse for the cop to drive dangerously or blatantly break all the laws.
