The execution of LaVoy Finicum, one of the rancher leaders at the Oregon wildlife refuge occupation earlier this year, is being played over and over by law enforcement, determined to convince the “lying eyes” of those watching video of the event that what they see is actually not what they see. There is a secondary question of whether FBI agents fired their weapons, or whether it was only trigger-happy state troopers who were firing at the truck and Finicum.
A video of the shooting without sound was released to the public early on, but a second video taken by friends and family of Finicum, including children, who were in the truck with him has now been released with a sound track. You can hear the verbal exchanges between Finicum and the officers as he calls to them from inside the truck. Finicum states that he is going to the next town to meet with the sheriff. That was not to be as law enforcement vehicles blocked the road and Finicum was forced into a snow bank at the side of the highway.
New video below raises new questions from critics, page 2:
The quality of that “video” was pathetic!!
A former agent said SOP includes thermal imaging….but that would have shown guns firing!
Our local news station has a helicopter with incredible quality for traffic reports???
They murdered him!!!
damn BLM
Harry finally retired. That’s how we got Shumer.
Something will happen…it is called self-defense. Shoot first and worry about the consequences later.
We care Charles because we are Americans and no American deserves to be assinated! We do not, and will not tolerate a rougue Government. It is not against the law to own a gun, it is our constitutional right. Learn more about this case before you comment. If fact, look up Ruby Ridge and see how much the Government ( really us) ended up paying for a wrongful death!
Christian Right wing protesters seem to be a target. If you were BLM you get a pass.
Of course it does, the feds killed him for a land grab, that’s the Obama administration at work, hope the swat team feels good about themselves.
That was terrible,
The FBI is responsible the HRT team assassinated Lavoy. Let us not forget the 26 entrapment schemes the FBI instigated to get credit for foiling “terrorist” plots. Stop being stupid.
Why is it legal for the Government and Police to lie to us but, it is criminal when they say we are lying to them? When did the government and their police become the rulers of the people?
The Supreme Court made that decision that ALL ,Law Enforcemenmt can and do and will LIE to the Citizens but the peop[le are NOT allowed to LIE or make a half truth statement, if so,it is considered a lie, Congress makes all laws and the so called Supreme Court then applies them, crock of s**t !
