I feel sorry for the two who lost their lives, but it's not a good idea to try and out run the cops in what looks a base model GP loaded with four grown men.

For a misdemeanor. Damn.

I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to PIT in residential areas.

A helicopter following them rather than cops continuing to pursue would have been a good option if available.

I don't think there was an opportunity to PIT. From all the PITs maneuvers I've seen they are in more open areas and after the chase has been going for a while.
