A 13-year old punk backed the stolen car he was driving toward an LAPD patrolman at the end of a police chase back in February. The cop shot at the kid, killing him. The DA has decided the shooting was self-defense (DUH!) and has decided not to press charges against the officer. Predictably, South...
