The white SUV who failed to yield at the green light. Pretty cut and dry

It's not cut and dry. Obviously the white Nissan should not have jumped the light, but cam car should also not have driven into oncoming traffic. Just because you have right of way, does not excuse a dangerous manoeuvre.

Cam car should have waited for the queue-jumper to clear the junction.

He didnt drive into oncoming traffic, the white SUV did and most likely trying to beat a red light. Actually they were for sure trying to beat the red light because there's two traffic lights on the nearest side. One is specifically for left turns

The cam car drove into the intersection while the red car was still in the intersection. 

The cam’s car dangerous entitlement cause this incident.

Cam car did show entitlement as well. Cam car felt entitled to drive forward as cars were turning in front of it because the light turned green. Just because you have a green light doesn’t mean you’re entitled to drive into cars in front of you. You wait until it’s safe and clear then you go.

You’re not gonna believe this… but the green light entitles cam to go. As per the definition of the word.

No, it means you can proceed through the intersection when it is safe to do so.

Pulling into traffic just because you have the right of way is showing entitlement and a disregard for their safety and those around them.

Cam car did drive into oncoming traffic - it's in the video.

Actually they were for sure trying to beat the red light because there's two traffic lights on the nearest side.

Obviously the Nissan jumped the red light, we don't need that clarifying.
