The FBI has released two videos of the chase and final moments that led to the death of LaVoy Finicum, one of the ranchers who had been occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building. There had been a good deal of controversy as to whether Finicum was pointing a weapon at police or FBI agents when his vehicle was forced off the road into a snow bank. It is clear that police and government agents were determined to regain control of the protest, and to show the ranchers who really owns the Western lands.
The ranchers were headed to a meeting in another town at the time when law enforcement decided to set up a road block and apprehend those going to the meeting. In the video it appears that Finicum exits the truck and agents are on either side of him. The snow is deep and it is difficult for anyone to quickly move through the drifts.

They had no right to bother them at all….they were out to murder anyone….and they will you too….just cross their path!!
SO WRONG.
Looks like they needed to make an example of someone, so much for non-lethal. I’d say the jury is still out, although I doubt the full investigation will be released until after all the lawsuits are done. I would like to know if rounds were still being fired when he dropped his hands or if he had a wound in the area he reached for. I’m sure the feds had a security concern that they might show up in Ferguson or Baltimore.
Patrick Strickland now you understand how we feel
Clearly murder!
Terrible tragedy! His hands were up! Unlike the POS in Ferguson! Where is the outrage from the liberal media!?!?! No word or outcry on gun control here!?!?! It’s no surprise neither! Despicable!
Murderers
They need to be arraigned just like the officers in the Freddie Gray case and prosecuted
If they really wanted to shoot it out they wouldn’t have tried to run. Notice not one of the protester has fired a shot YET! It’s coming though
Face it. It’s already a Dictator Ship. For Now..
