Nice hair-split, there.
The guys with the unmarked vehicles fired a shot at the Finicum vehicle. Your sophistry won't change that fact.
If so, why would Shawna worry more about it when they were fleeing?
Because it had already happened at least once?
If it looks like it's going to rain, and I feel a raindrop, I'm on the lookout for more rain. That's the way it works in the world that most people live in.
Apparently, in your odd little world, a shot fired doesn't mean more shots will be fired. ???!!???
I don't even know how to respond to that particular illogic.
I'm really trying to understand what the thinking is here.
It was reported by the women that a shot was heard. After that, Ryan Payne exited the truck and was taken into custody - no violence.
The truck continued to sit there for minutes with LaVoy fully visible and practically motionless in the driver's window. He wasn't shot.
Everyone else who had obeyed the LEOs was unharmed.
LaVoy decided to rabbit and off we go.
I can understand if they feared they might be shot at when they decided to bolt, but some claim they bolted because they were being shot at. Makes no sense given the above facts.
