The case of LaVoy Finicum, the rancher who was gunned down in Oregon last year, may have disappeared from the main stream press, but you can be sure that it is still a hot topic in rural America where they see it as a clear cut case of murder by government authorities. The situation embarrassed local and federal authorities as farmers and ranchers continued their protest against government overreach and land theft, which was carried in national newspapers for weeks on end.
The end result was that Finicum, one of the leaders in the debacle, advised officials that he was going to the next town to meet with the sheriff there. County sheriffs have tremendous jurisdiction over the area that they oversee, and that would have been a problem for law enforcement and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team which was on site. Enroute to the meeting, Finicums truck was forced off the road into a snow bank, Finicum got out of the truck with hands raised, then tried to approach officers with his hands held wide, but was gunned down in cold blood there in the snow. There is both helicopter footage as well as a cell phone record of the incident, and it is causing some major concerns among law enforcement and the FBI.

The FBI and the people involved need to be investigated. That man was clearly stuck in the middle of a political nightmare. That was clearly absolute murder! Maybe the FBI needs to be shut down and a new force be created.
May have ?? They did.
Donna Gilreath it’s to bad you don’t have one of them brains,
Those details were visible in the first few days after the drone video was released. Days after his murder. It was never even a question. He was executed. The agents responsible belong swinging from a noose.
Many States.

Try walking in deep snow with your hands up. You will find yourself using your arms to keep your balance, and it looks like what he was doing when they say he was reaching for a weapon.
Watch the video! It was murder!
They murdered him.
