Here we go again - 4 killed in BMW...
Discussion
... Four people dead after BMW crashes whilst being chased by the police in Bradford.
No bystanders injured this time, but when are the police going to crack down on these people? - apparently the road is a well known 'race track'.
If it were you or I etc.etc.....

Can hardly accuse the Police of doing nothing, given they were chasing them...
Anyway, whilst any loss of life is no doubt horrible for those involved and their families, I will always feel that if you run from the police then you must accept the potential consequences of that choice.
If the Police had died in a car crash chasing them, they wouldn't give a toss.

He says that 4 men were killed, surely died would be more accurate unless he's referring to the driver of their car then yes they were killed (by him)
Probably just the two options then?
1) 4 hard-working youngsters (police referred to them thus) going home after long tiring shift end (time was 5.30 am). Tragic.
2) 4 drug-dealing unemployed youngsters trying to get away from police. Inexperienced driver loses it in the highly-likely stolen Beemer and … termination.
Which option will be the reality?
If being pursued by unmarked cop car, you actually don't have to stop if you are unsure if it's a cop car, but common sense (where did that go?) 'foot to the floor' in a residential area only leads to things going totally tits up.

Used to drive down there every day commuting home from work. The traffic would be queued in the other direction and there wasn't a day went by that I didn't meet someone coming toward me overtaking the queue, at high speed, with the utter conviction that whoever was coming toward them would simple move out of the way, which obviously I did. There seems to be a lot of drivers in this neck of the woods who simply have no fear of death or concern that they might kill someone else.
