Journalists don’t use passive voice to take away blame from the police, but because this is a story about the e-bike rider. In active voice, this would read “Police kill e-bike rider in collision”, which takes the focus away from the victim and shifts it onto the police. Is that better?

That’s right. They do it to take away blame from drivers.
And the council/government.
“Lack of suitable bike infrastructure and community education sees another cyclist killed by car in easily preventable situation.”
No they do it to avoid being sued by litigious gangs full of murderous thugs.
Yes.
