You do have a responsibility when you are travelling. The guy was an idiot.

There aren´t too many routes to choose from, if you´re heading to India from Europe. In fact the other one, via the Karakoram Highway to North Pakistan, is probably not possible right now because of winter. (And that route has not been totally trouble-free in the past few years either).
It is terrible and alarming news, there´s absolutely no way to deny that, but the bicyclist did not kill those policemen. Armed attackers did. It should be the responsibility of the government of the country to keep that area safe, and if they are uncapable to do so, then make it a no-go zone for foreigners. There are such areas east from Quetta, and further up in the northwest.
Maybe they will now stop issuing visas for travellers, who want to go Taftan-Dalbandin-Quetta or v.v. Will there in that case be another route further south, I have no idea, but at least up until now, the Taftan crossing has been the only one, that foreigners could use.
