Let's see. The LAPD must take their lessons from the Cookeville, Tennessee, school of traffic stops.

The first lesson is to seriously consider the direct orders of those authorized to use deadly force.

A second lesson is to not appear as though one is committing felonious activity when apprehended by those authorized to use deadly force, especially if they interpret the situation as such.

The third lesson is not to get involved with rock cocaine.

Let's see, the driver exhibits suspicious behavior and breaks the law(wrong way driving), then repeatedly refuses to cooperate with police(even as the passenger was able to), and finally commits the mistake that everyone knows not to make(reaching for something hidden during a police stop).

Yep, must be the cop who acted wrong, certainly wouldn't want to blame the suspicious and uncooperative instigator. </disgusted sarcasm>

Their lead instructot is the perp from the FBI that shoots first and makes excuses later. One of these days, there has got to be punishment for such acts, even if nothing more than losing their jobs. A statement has to be made, for the good of the citizens.

[F.J. Mitchell]

The Cops were right this time, only idiots with a death wish, stronger than the daffy driver would have done otherwise. There is no similarity between this incident and the one in Cooksville, Tenn.
