Here is a headline from today's "LA Times."

>>>13 Die in Four Days of Violence
The deaths in unrelated incidents are in addition to four fatalities in police shootings. City's toll for the year is approaching 600.<<<

within the story are these descriptions.

>>> On Saturday, Officer Tommy Thompson shot a suspect for the third time in his 6-year LAPD career. Thompson and a partner told investigators that they had stopped suspected car thieves at 52nd Place and 52nd Street. Thompson told investigators that the driver tried to run him over, and he fired his weapon.....It is not the first time Thompson has cited the fear of being hit by a car after discharging a firearm. In May 1999, he fired a shotgun at a car that a 16-year-old was driving at him.<<<<

>>>> In a second officer-involved shooting, at 7 p.m. Friday, Officers Kimberly De Losh and James McCarthy shot and killed a man in Wilmington after he allegedly rammed his truck into their police car several times.<<<<<

What is it with this "Road Rage" against Police Officers in LA? Are there this many nutty drivers that would go after Police when stopped? Or, could it be that the Police shot these people and then said, "Whoops, I better figure out an excuse!"
