Another sad tragedy on our roads with 3 innocents paying with their lives, and now we start the blame game. As usual the police will be made out as the perpetrators of this tragedy, lambasted by one and all. Did the police chase the vehicle? Yes they did because that is what we pay them to do, catch those who are breaking the law. But why do we lay the blame for all of this on the police! Because they are an easy target unable to respond? They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t! Where does the blame lie? Is it with the police for doing their job and being the last people involved in a tragic sequence? Is it with a joke of a judicial system (and the jokes that are the magistrates and judges) that let repeat offenders off time and time again? Or is it with the killer, for that is what he was? This man, knowingly stole a motor vehicle, he knowingly tried to evade police. This man made choices and in making these choices he destroyed a family and hurt many others by HIS actions. The police were there at the end; this tragedy is not of their making. Please let us put the blame where i

I could not have voiced it better enough.

Fully agree with what 'enough' said!

'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing' – Edmund Burke So we continue to blame our Police (yes we the community entrust them with our safety and defence) when something like this happens. What a disgrace. Spare a thought for the poor officers involved, who were just doing their job and the RIGHT thing risking their lives on a daily basis to try and stop scum such as this habitual career criminal. How people can hold them to account in any form is purely a disgrace, and a sad reflection on todays society. No wonder good men and women are leaving Police forces around Australia in record numbers. What a sad thankless job it must have become for them.

The Police did not steal the car, they did not run the red light and they did not crash into the car carrying a young family. They are NOT to blame for this.

there are no winners in this, from the family killed to the dead driver and to the police, personally i think the Police are given no choice but to execute their duty, one thing for sure is that lives will be lost in these high speed pursuits whether it be directly or indirectly involved, our hearts go out to the three innocents that lost there lives Saturday night.

I had my car stolen last year. When it was found there were visible prints on a cd and a can of jd, police said it wasn't worth pursuing because the offenders would get off in court. Why wouldn't a fool steal a car if nothing happens to them even in the unlikely event that they get caught. Because of that, this horrible tragedy has occurred and once again innocent people with plenty to live for are now gone forever!

I'm sick to death of people blaming the police. The blame lies with the morally bankrupt thing that was driving the stolen car and the judicial system that let him go free to do it again. I have no sympathy for his loss of life. RIP to the poor family that didn't stand a chance.

An absolute tragedy for the innocent family which lost their lives due to the criminal actions of another. I also feel for the family of the bloke in the stolen car, but blaming the police is ridiculous. This guy stole a car, and then fled from the police instead of stopping. Law and order will be lost if the police don't pursue stolen cars, particularly given the general use of stolen cars in other crimes.

Don't blame the police. Blame a system which allows fools like Williams to remain in society when they have demonstrated time and time again their lack of respect for themselves and society at large. This idiot should have been put behind bars and had any chance to legally drive on roads again removed for life. It's well and truely overdue for society to wake up and realise that fools like this Williams guy arn't going to be rehabilitated for many years to come (of at all) and belong behind bars away from society in the mean time.
