Good grief!

Leave the DAD alone. If I were him, I’d do the same thing. If I couldn’t directly help, I’d want to be near the crew verbally encouraging my son. How dare these arseholes. Have a heart for the Dad.

Agreed. He could have been speaking to his son anyway. Why wouldn’t they let him go near him??? That’s ludicrous. He didn’t have to be in the way while the experts were doing their jobs of course however, they COULD have let him stand by and try to speak to his son. It would have been comforting to his son and to him. Tragic.

I’d do the same, and I’d probably wind up in cuffs too. The cop way over reacted. That said, imagine handling fatal MVA scenes every week for years. It’s got to wear on you. I have a special place in my heart for the highway patrol officers, who have to bear that burden.

Two officers should have been allowed to take the man to his son.

Even if I could do nothing else, I would want to be with my son praying with/for him.
