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.
See video, page 2:
No, it proves nothing, it is inconclusive at best. The video is taken from an aircraft at altitude and so the image is too small to show what actually happened. He may or may not have been reaching for anything; it is too hard to tell from that distance. But people are seeing in it what they want to see. For his supporters, it will justify his martyrdom and their subsequent actions. For his detractors and those who hate the patriots and militia freedom fighters, it will be used as justification for his death.
Idk from what I saw he had his hands up then he went to reach towards his hip and got shot… Not saying it was the right choice for either but from the distance and angle makes it hard to tell for sure
Who are really the criminals?
he was murdered execution style by our government and it was a set up
The whole thing wreaks the rules of engagement and the FED AMBUSH THEY WANTED BLOOD AND THEY GOT IT. The idea is the policaleleits are loosing legitamicy in the eyes of the general public. They see the Bushes and the Clintons as the same the Repblicans and the Democrats as manifestations of the same giant government cuddle fish that has its had in every orafice of the body potllic ( thanks to PJ O Rourke)
This was “Entrapment 101,” it was practiced by our FBI. They lured these men out with a “scheduled meeting,” and then — Surprise — a “traffic stop.” Oh, and the FBI just happened to be in the vicinity, with a drone. How fortuitous. We need to realize our govt. will kill us — white, landowners and taxpayers — without batting an eye. Those FBI agents had kill orders even before those ranchers left that refuge.
If they had KILL ORDERS as u say why did they not just kill all of them and leave no one to tell the truth or in their minds maybe lie?? lots of questions kill orders is not one of them.
Another democratic Ruby Ridge

Why didn’t they help themselves? He was obviously reaching. I can’t say that I disagree with how it went down. The “eye witnesses” said he had his hands up when he was shot which I now know is complete BS.
