Because they got busy murdering Lavoy. Had Lavoy stayed in the drivers seat the rounds would have continued to impact the truck and killed them too.
...
No they wouldn’t. Finicum was shot because he repeatedly yelled that the cops would have to shoot him and then he reached for his weapon.
Of course, none of this would have happened had Finicum surrendered peaceful when he was initially stopped miles before the roadblock.
Finicum wasn’t murdered.
You people are making stuff up to defend a damn fool who got himself shot for no reason.
Finicum was a complete minus the entire way. A blowhard who said he wanted war with the police, claimed he wouldn’t be taken alive, set up his own battle and never got a shot off.
His ONLY accomplishment was giving the media an excuse to tag the entire group as violent extremists.
His passengers stayed in the truck and they are alive today.

Alive, yes, and one of them was wounded by the mystifying2 shots. How many inches to the right or left would have been fatal?
Jury process and outcome regarding cases in which the totality of state power is on trial seem to fall into the outlier jury decisions. One might consider the long term personal consequences of jurors finding wrongdoing of the state. They have a history of getting even.
Cynic.../s
Had Finicum surrendered when he was first stopped, nobody would have been injured.
I’ll bet that if the local or State police had been tasked with arresting Finicum it would have been done more intelligently. But the Feds have to overdo everything and deploy all their toys.
>Had Finicum surrendered when he was first stopped, nobody would have been injured.”
With what we know about the hostility that abridged professional conduct of the Fed agents, Finicum made the right call to seek arrest by the sheriff. So now the Feds have 2 unaccounted shots fired, a possible bullet fragment buried in a victims shoulder that was not available for the trial, and multiple civil suits that might have access to that fragment.
And where are the perjury charges against the agents that stated no cameras or snipers were present in earlier trials?
Finicum made the right call to seek arrest by the sheriff.
...
No he didn’t. He had no right to resist arrest at the first stop. And the people who did surrender at the first stop are alive and uninjured.
Finicum should have accepted his instant guilty verdict, his no right to assemble, his no right to self defense, and Finicum should have accepted his sentence of death by a firing squad of two.
He should have accepted it all like a real man.
Big surprise. The beast protects its own. The FBI is a lawless entity, like most entities in DC.
Yep.
LaVoy Finicum saved the others from the fibbie murderers.
Exactly. Finicum offered himself up to sate the bloodlust of the murdering little Fed "operator"-wannabes.
The women were lucky they didn't get backshot.
For the thrill of the kill of defenseless people.
The prosecutor didn’t want a conviction. It’s as simple as that.
It's GOOD to be a Fed backshooter.
I think this sentence is messed up.
