THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! I don't get why the police officer would pass the bus like that....

That is crazy! It is not okay for the officer to have passed that bus, especially on the passenger side and assuming that the bus driver had the warning light system activated. I'd hope a thorough investigation is conducted. EDIT: Just found this update. Officer was suspended for five days without pay. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/crime/article275548321.html

Agreed on this. Barring any sort of catastrophic mechanical failure, there is NO reason for any vehicle to drive on that side of a stopped bus to begin with, and the officer passed the bus as if nothing were going on. (It said that's a right-turn lane in front of the house, why the car was at full speed).
(Though the doorbell cam doesn't pick up the audio very well, that was a good save by the bus driver!)
As far as the outcome, while the court of public opinion on social media may be a little disappointed, I'm of the opinion that it is being handled appropriately. Something that seems to happen every day, cutting incidents like this down should be an important priority.
