And if you were several weeks into a stand off with police after seizing federal lands you'd be a complete idiot to think the car with flashing red and blue lights following you on federal property was anything but the cops.
Why do people keep insisting Finicum was not a man of his word when he said he wasn't going to prison? All this effort to suggest he was too ignorant to realize that was the police behind him? Show some damn respect.
Do you have an example of the context of Finicum's alleged statement about not going to prison that can be verified? Maybe he was referring to where he saw this heading.
Certainly their 'seizing federal lands' in an out of the way rural setting deserved as much patience as the democrat/socialist/progressive/leftist/commie tools were provided, don't you think? In our imperfect world?
Not getting dropped 13 seconds after you get out of your vehicle with your hands up.
I might think they were shadowy Federal black-ops intent on assassinating me, and not police.
BTW, state highways crossing national forests, not sure those are "Federal lands", I think the State owns the right-of-ways for them. I can say for sure they are patrolled by the State Patrol here in Oregon. BLM rangers don't pull people over for speeding, their old green trucks are not set up for that.
I like for you to “Show Some Damn Respect” if stopped by unmarked car 20’ behind you and they start shooting at you!!!
Lavoy Finicum was murdered. He was a true patriot, and will be remembered as the martyr he is. We will never forget his death, and will do everything in our power to make sure his sacrifice wasn’t in vain.
