Bullet hole on LaVoy Finicum's truck traced to elite FBI team

BEND – Something didn't seem right about the bullet hole in the top of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum's white Dodge pickup.
Investigators from the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office could account for bullet holes in the left front hood, the driver's side mirror and the front grille. They came from the automatic weapon of a state trooper who had fired three times at the truck as Finicum raced at 70 mph toward a police roadblock on Jan. 26.
The angle of a fourth bullet hole didn't match the others.
An elaborate computer analysis, a review of the FBI aerial video of the shooting scene and a video from a passenger in Finicum's pickup produced a result that startled the team poring over evidence into Finicum's fatal shooting that day.
The fourth round, police concluded, was fired by an FBI agent who subsequently twice denied to investigators ever firing his gun. As the investigation proceeded, detectives determined he also fired a second time, but didn't hit anything at the scene.

Lovely.
This just gets worse and worse.
I guess no one was in charge and everyone could just fire at American citizens when they felt like it.
And 70 mph on a highway in rural Oregon isn’t “racing”.
Where is this pistol Finnicum had? Let’s see it.
They didn’t have any stop strips?
Bullshirt.

When they show up, say your prayers.
FBI agents?
NAWWWWWWW
The early video I saw of the shooting appeared to show
Finicum exiting the vehicle with his hands in a surrender
position. - I think they had to shut him up. He was a plain
& simple plainspoken man who had defined exactly WHY he was
doing what he was doing. - The Feds are out of line & getting more so all the time. Finicum had made a video earlier that explained exactly his position.
LEOs lying to protect themselves?
Business as usual.
It sounds like one of the FBI agents falsified info and others supported him in it.
They have opened up a criminal investigation on that...and well they should.
Maybe the FBI agent thought there was a dog in the car.
Multi-jurisdictional “task forces” go sideways for many reasons, not the least of which is the lack of clear responsibility. Eliminate federal influence and the Sheriff always has the reins. This is important. Local control means actions are tempered by familial and neighborly connections. Fly in an FBI hostage team where there are no hostages and what you have is a hammer in search of a nail.
It’s time to cede so-called federal lands to the states.
“...put a bullet through me.”
How could that not end well?
The dirty little truth about this incident is that the Democrats decided to use it as a display to Conservatives that their guns won’t protect them.
All they needed was to get one government employee to open fire and everyone would start shooting and then the killing could get going.
A message needed to be sent.
Why do you think they released the video?
“Look at the dead cowboy in the snow.”
Yes they were always going to kill somebody. LeVoy Finicum just drew the short straw. They would have loved to have killed Ryan Bundy. Its to send a message to intimidate any other Americans from standing up for their rights.
So will he spend time in jail like Martha Stewart for the same offense?
They also have unlimited means at your expense. You (at least I)don’t.
That was murder, and attempted murder.
They need to go down. Ten years, at least.
