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.

Bull$#%&!@*..he reached for the wound where they shot him. It was planes all along.
During police training we were shown scenarios of incidents to instruct us how to respond. In one training video we view a man walking up as the officer is telling the man to get stop and get down. The man is reaching into his coat, for what many assumed was a gun. The video is then stopped. The class is asked, “How would you as an officer respond?” The answers ranged from shooting immediately to waiting with the officers gun drawn. The video was then started and the man pulls out a card explaining that he was deaf. Some of the recruit officers killed an innocent man. The moral was you never shoot unless you see a gun displayed and it must be displayed in a threatening manner. The mere carrying of a weapon is not a threat.
Looks like murder to me. Maybe black lives matter can riot this one in the snow. This one actually is murder!

You better wake up America
Shot him in the back….that’s an execution
When the coroner’s report comes out there will be more answers. I’d lay $$ the loaded 9 mm was planted. Lavoy openly carried a revolver on his right hip. Most old cowboys don’t use semi auto’s especially if they are open carry advocates.
Good show.

I agree I was trained with the same method
