License To Kill
CHP – California Highway Patrol – who are they and what are they trained to do? Murder is what I see, with a coverup. Joseph Anthony Pinasco, a vital, loving, kind generous, and faithful young man was shot to death early Sunday morning for no good reason. He was only 21 years old.
Joey was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. His life ended in an unnecessary barrage of gunfire that looked like war zone. Why? What would cause 2 California Highway Patrol officers in one car to empty their guns into him? Ten year veterans should have known better. He wasn’t a criminal and had never, ever been in trouble with the law.
CHP – with computers in your car – run the license plate, meet him at home, ticket him, but don’t kill him. Joey’s home was only two minutes away across the corn field. An eyewitness, the owner of the fence Joey wrecked into, said his truck never left from the moment of impact because his headlights blared right straight into their bedroom. They could hear the wheels spinning from Joey’s truck. Then they heard “Stop, stop” and 2 seconds later a barrage of bullets. Silence fell again and they looked out. Joey’s wheels were still spinning, truck not moving, and another round of bullets were fired into his truck. His wheels were still spinning, the truck was stuck in a ditch and hammered into a pipe fence.
CHP had to reach in and turn off Joey’s truck. It was the CHP who moved towards Joey, not Joey towards the CHP. He was stuck in a ditch – hammered into a fence. His life ended. A tragedy that should have never happened. He was only 21 years old. Joseph Anthony Pinasco was murdered and to cover it up the officers said he tried to run them down. CHP – License to Kill.
Heartbroken forever,
Joey’s Aunt Debbie Pinasco

Joey's Dad
My son that I shall never see or talk to again was taken from us for what ever reason I hope the truth shall come forward. The last time I spoke to Joe was as he was walking out the door to visit his friends for a Saturday evening out.
Joey was just starting his adult hood in life. I knew Joey as a father, different than his friends did. Joey was really respectful to me and at times felt as if I never acknowledged the good things that he did. Emotions from a father to a son at times are very hard to express. I wish I could have hugged him more and loved him in a way he understood. All I have left of my son are pictures, memories, smells of his room, his clothes, his shoes, that I cherish like nothing else. The stories told by his friends, parents of his friends, cousins,
people who crossed pathes with Joey in his short life are how I can begin to know the life of my son that I never knew. He touched and enlightened the lives of so many people. The past few days since this traggic event has been like nightmare that I will never awake from. I do not seek simpathy and only want to say that he was my son, he did not deserve the treatment he took by people that did not know him. I pray that justice will prevail. I love you Joey, my son.
Maybe you should go ride out with the CHP or any law enforcement agency and see what kind of situational awareness they have to have to perform their job safetly. They teach to protect the public but most importantly themselves. Because and the end of their shifts they want to go home to their families....
when a loved one is taken away, its easy to point the finger, cause at the end of the day it eases your mind! i cant say what happened that night, nobody can. the only people who know are joey and the two officers. to me, a ten year veteran of the CHP knows what there doin. an officer is trained in various tests, circumstances, and situations! how do u know that these two officers dont have sons of there own? that they are'nt the most loving and generous people to there friends and loved ones. that they are'nt heroes in there communities? all im saying is dont judge till you know all the facts, and after its all said and done, i hope both sides involved find peace in there hearts!!
