He didn't take out the cop that killed his son, he drove into a random deputy on traffic duty.

And this incident happened the morning after his son was killed - although I agree there's never much hope for the system to police itself, this was too soon for any prosecutors or judges or anyone to have failed to hold the cop accountable

You think the cop might have been held accountable?! In the USA?

I'd like to think that I wouldn't kill anyone, but I haven't just watched someone kill my son when his back was turned.

The article doesn't say that the cop directing traffic wasn't the cop who killed his son. It just hints at it.
