Darwin Award nominee Jose Vaca, 29, may be in a jail cell, but he is lucky to be alive.
Vaca was driving through Bakersfield, CA, on December 19th when he and a friend were pulled over by police. The convicted felon had a rifle in the car with him and he decided to use the traffic stop as an opportunity to test a theory he had about police brutality, and
“What I was hoping for them to do was tell me, ‘Drop the gun! Back away from the firearm! Get on the ground! Turn around!’ And it was going to be an arrest,” he said. “But I was completely wrong.”
When Vaca exited the vehicle holding the rifle, Officer Christian Hernandez opened fire.
“Soon as I hit the ground, I just attempted to play dead,” Vaca said. “It’s a blessing I’m alive.”

In the category of:
"Doing the stupidest thing EVER without actually dying":
If he’s still alive, he cannot be a winner. He can get Honorable Mention, though.................
To win a Darwin, you have to eliminate yourself and any offspring from the gene pool.
He doesn’t qualify.....yet.
Muslims will breed the Brits out of existence.
Cops have families they want to go home to.
They blinded him with Science.
.
Will he be publishing his dissertation soon?
.
The latter suffices. "Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile" - http://www.darwinawards.com/rules/
True sterility qualifies, where did the cop shoot him?
You don’t actually have to die to remove yourself from the gene pool. Example, the guy that tried to steal lobster by sticking them down his pants, or the robber that tucked his firearm into his waste band with his finger still on the trigger.... there are many other examples.

Crutch, Meet Crotch
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(November 2007, Russia) Late one night, Eduard entered the apartment of a 30-year-old handicapped man, who slept peacefully as Eduard quietly cleaned out the valuables. Eduard was preparing to leave when suddenly the man woke up.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes! The dark shape of some goon was standing next to my nightstand!” recalls the burglary victim. “I cried out and he attacked me, who was defenseless, with his fists! I had no choice. I hit him between the legs with my crutch, and he leapt out the window. Thank God I live on the first floor, and he did not die from the fall.
“I didn’t understand at first what had fallen out of his pants. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a testicle, a man’s testicle! I put it in cold water, and rushed to the phone.” The handicapped man dialed the emergency services several times, but “the doctors hung up on me when I told them I had ripped a burglar’s balls off!”
Half an hour later, the blood-covered thief was found by a passerby, who called the police. “An unconscious man was lying on the sidewalk,” said the police investigator. “When the medics revived him, he started screaming hysterically, ‘Give me back my balls!’”
Eduard’s genitals were so traumatized that doctors had to amputate the entire scrotum to prevent gangrene. In the hospital, the burglar filed a complaint against his victim. He said, “I will never forgive him!”

Yeah, he’s full of it. He’s a convicted felon with a loaded firearm! But he thought they would just ask him nicely to put it down! Riiiiiight.
testing, 1 - 2 .....
Me too.
I mean, c’mon, he was a convicted felon and gang member who got out of his car with a gun when pulled over.
He has been said to want to show his friend that cops are good guys. Really?
Like you said, this is a ploy.
