Street racer shot and killed by CHP Stockton
CHP Officers Shoot, Kill Driver In Stockton
STOCKTON (AP) ― The California Highway Patrol is investigating the fatal shooting of a man who officers say revved his engine and drove toward them in his truck.
21-year-old Joseph Pinasco of Stockton died at the scene Sunday.
According to investigators, CHP officers were responding to calls of possible street racing when they spotted a truck going erratically near Highway 4.
After a short chase, the driver lost control and the truck spun around to face the two officers, who drew their guns and ordered the driver to stop.
Investigators say he accelerated toward them and the officers opened fire.
A CHP spokesman says it's unlikely Pinasco had been involved in
the racing.

But it's far more likely than trying to hit a tire. If a cop is standing in front of your car with his gun drawn and says stop and you hit the gas. You deserve it.

So wait till he kills someone in a crosswalk running from the cops?
Sorry, they had him cornered, he tried to use his truck as a lethal weapon so they used lethal force right back.
