SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) — A police officer under investigation for sexual misconduct with a teenage minor was shot and killed while on duty by fellow officers Saturday as they tried to arrest him on California's central coast, authorities said.
The officer was manning a DUI checkpoint when the shooting occurred shortly after 1 a.m. He was declared dead after emergency surgery at Marian Medical Center, Santa Maria police Chief Danny Macagni said in a statement.
The officer, a four-year Santa Maria department veteran, had just learned of the internal investigation of an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, and it became necessary to arrest him immediately, Macagni said.
"We had no choice," Macagni said in video of an afternoon news conference posted by KCOY-TV. He said investigators had evidence "that demanded that we go out and take this officer off the street immediately."
Supervising officers were sent to make a felony arrest, but he struggled with them when they arrived, first putting up a physical fight, then firing his gun but hitting no one, Macagni said.
"He chose to resist, he drew his weapon, a fight ensued, he fired his weapon," the chief said.

It is always suspicious when someone under investigation "resists" and dies before a trial........was there more to be learned, ie others invovled, by interrogation?

I would submit that the same was true for Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Oswald, Wellstone etc, ad infinitum/ad nauseum........the "inconvenients" always disappear, this one was sloppy because of the rank amateur involvement. Today's corrupt legal system would have given the cop a lenient sentence, surely not worth shooting at his fellow officers over.

Ah Santa Maria where Michael Jackson was put on trial for child molestation. While this involves the city police, the county was criticized for the way they executed a search warrant at Neverland. According to Wikipedia:
...more law enforcement personnel 'raided' Neverland Ranch than for any murderer or serial killer in American history.

They did have a choice, and it was the right one.
