   Sounds about right.  Papers and all media love bad news.    
      
   Yesterday some cop up in L.A. went bonkers and killed a couple, then wounded   
   one cop, killed another. Ex-military who feels he was screwed over by his   
   fellow cops because he felt one used excessive force and reported him.    
   Backlash, now his name is smeared and off he goes. The couple he killed was the   
   daughter of his ex-police chief, then his lawyer.  As of this morning he's   
   still running loose and vows he's not afraid to die.   
      
   No telling how many more he'll take with him before the get him.
