No sympathy for any of them bloody idiots think it's OK to do just what they want and killed innocent people scunbags
No pure cold rage on this occasion.
The parents of those under 18 should be arrested and charged.
5 no gooders , the police officers my heart goes out to the familys 😢
So sad.
Victims! WTF
How could the police be chasing them if they had a head on and those Idiotic murderers were driving down the wrong way on the dual carriageway. No need for a police conduct investigation.
Killers is right way of saying. It
So sad
Guaranteed that the police will have previous mugshots of all 5 that they could have provided to news outlets instead of the ones that have been used
BBC have been pursuing Elon Musk X for years. However the offenders have been TikTok . Which the right have been warning you wokes about for years
Played too much GTA😂
My heart goes out to the family & friends of the two police officers Matthew Blades & Tom Clough that were tragically killed
Wonder if there will be protests and riots about this?
No?
Let's wonder why not.
Killers that died
You can hear them now, can't you, the comments? The trite statements. You can easily imagine what platitudes are being written on some Facebook or Tiktok page.
"He was a lovable rogue"
"Wouldn't hurt a fly"
"Lit up the room with his cheeky smile".
"Gone too soon".
Let's get it clear, the only loss here is of two law abiding citizens in the police car.
I have absolutely no sympathy what so ever for those lads that died…joy riding,speeding..yes speed kills.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to the police officers that diedtheir familys,friends etc.
These 5 deserved everything they got…at least no innocent victims will ever see these lot on the roads again.
Rip to the officers. To the rest, good riddens 😂
I blame government for allowing Tiktok available in this country it should have been banned long ago none of these would have happened.
RIP 💔💔💔
Good riddance to them. The roads are safer. So sorry for the Policemen's family. I couldn't care less how old the perpetrators were.
No sympathetic for those five scumbags. They are not victims they were perpetrators.
What scumbags.
God bless the 2 police
Everyone jumping on 4 of those teenagers… they got family too😢😭 and as passengers, they can't be held liable for the madness that the driver pulled off… they had no control over his actions😢😭😭 lesson here is, choose who you associate with carefully 😢😭
We as a country stand by the to victims the brave police officers
How dumb would you be to go to the wrong side of the road and not expect anything bad to happen! There is something really wrong with this generation from school shootings to this. We millennials could only do this in video games.
Poor focus BBC – the police officers should be the focus of the story, not the 5 who all chose to so what they did. Little sympathy I'm afraid
Burnam feels sorry for these criminals
Victims?
5 who wasted space are gone! Deepest condolences to the families of the two wonderful police officers who were killed ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
NEED to STOP that racing up and down busy streets! STOP BEING FOOLISH!
Vulchers👀
Not until real punishment is rhanded out when sentencing these out of control twokkers who think it’s cool to goad police into high speed chases this sort of behaviour will continue
Cars being driven by these idiots are as dangerous as a firearm yet when brought before the courts they are usually given a slap on the wrist
A decade or two behind bars if caught committing these crimes could perhaps make most of these idiots think twice before they get behind the wheel of a car taking other innocent lives
Is this the stupid tictok trend I head about. Teens purposely driving the wrong way?
