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:
everyone should watch this
This was murder plain and simple someone needs hung for this
Mike Shepherd what you think
Shameful! At what point were these officer’s in fear of their lives? Sheer utter b******t !
Reprehensible
Clearly an un just killing by a trigger happy officer especially when his hands were out away from body and they could have used something less than lethal, but than again I wasn’t there
Sure seems more like a assassination to me..
Agreed
Disobeying lawful orders of lawmen is the best way to conduct yourself after having broken multiple laws for multiple days. Disobeying lawful orders of lawmen when you have children in your car is an even better way to conduct yourself. Why do I have the feeling many of you who believe this is murder also believe that African Americans who get shot by the police after breaking laws and not obeying lawful orders should just not break the law in the first place? Hmmmm….
I thought in one of the first videos there were àt least 4 shots fired before he reached across his body??
