I'm glad that someone has had the courage to say the bleedin' obvious. Here were two lads without protective headgear on an e-bike designed for one person, and going at quite a speed. The police are in an impossible situation here I think. If they are said to have been "chasing" these lads then it is argued they must have contributed to their deaths whereas if they merely "followed" them, then shouldn't we ask why didn't they try to stop them and thus prevent them killing themselves.
