Stupid and uncaring. I was stopped for speeding once. I was guilty. The cop was writing the ticket when a bicyclist flipped and splayed out right in front of us on the road. The guy wasn't moving. I said, can we help that guy, and the cop told me to stay in the car. I said I'm not trying to avoid the ticket, but he needs help. The cop said he would take care of him when he was done with me. I shut up so the cop could finish. Total uncaring asshole. The guy finally started to move; an ambulance needed to be called.

@Beowulfsfriend This kind of attitude from law enforcement has been creeping up for decades. Some seem to have developed a superiority complex that is ignored/encouraged by their superiors.

In your story the officer should have immediately gone to the aid of the bicyclist but instead prioritized the ticket making money more important than human life. I'm afraid this kind of behaviour is going to eventually become the norm instead of being an aberration.
