Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata expressed frustration about the increase of road rage violence and the limited impact that policing can have on those crimes.
"We cannot police ourselves out of road rage, that is an individual who is choosing to use violence just because of internal anger, because somebody cut them off, or they did something that they took as an insult on a roadway," Mata said. "We're seeing this more and more and more and that's where society's got to look in the mirror and they've got to fix themselves."
If someone finds themselves in the middle of a road rage situation, they should distance themselves from the other vehicle, get off the roadway and call 911, Mata said.
