In the Ring video, a car appears to brake to avoid hitting a school bus that's out of frame. Then comes the police SUV. The officer swerved into a yard to avoid hitting the bus, but nearly hits the children.

"He almost hit me. I froze, but then I realized I had to jump out of the way," one of Ford's children said.

"What if you would have hit my kids? You didn't stop to say, 'Hey, is they okay?' I was traumatized. I was like, 'Lord have mercy.' Like, what if? What if? What if?" Ford said.

Police didn't elaborate on how the officer was disciplined.
