“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,” Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata said, NBC DFW reported.

The city has recently experienced more road incidents, according to the outlet. 

“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,” he added.
