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.

Never trust the Government
They may have violated their own laws!!
Did that filthy Comey give the order shoot on sight
Les Wigget take your brainwashed sheep$#%&!@*somewhere else,$#%&!@*
I saw the video from both the helicopter and from inside the car. He gave them permission to kill him when DID NOT keep his hands up and reached into his jacket. Now, I don’t know why “law enforcement” gets away today with using deadly force when a suspect merely reaches into their pocket or their jacket. Over 20 years ago LAPD was teaching “shoot don’t shoot’ and officers were taught to wait until the hand comes out. If it is a cell phone but looks in low light to be a gun, then too bad. However, an empty hand doesn’t authorize any shot. The point is: Yes, draw down on the suspect but don’t shoot until you see the hand.
A big problem in this country is brain washed sheep like this Robert oler punk. If it were up to weak bitches like him we’d still be sending our tax money to queen Elizabeth.
When you try to stand up for yourself, they take you out, one way or another.
This is so scary and true ! We can no longer be child like in trusting the FBI to be honest and trustworthy . And now look at Comey also !
I believed from the beginning, Lavoy was murdered by the FBI, I still do. This needs to be investigated fairly. Sad!
May have? Geez watch the footage! They dam well did! And governor Kate Brown was in on it!
