I’ve seen the video. Shoot in cold blood... IMHO.

Entirely inconclusive video from where I sit.
Both sides of the issue will use it as justification for whatever they need to justify.
It’s clear to me that he had his hands up. It’s also clear that what the Feds will call “reaching for a gun” was actually reacting to being shot.
Agreed. I’d even go so far as to say that Finicum made a fatal mistake by not keeping his hands outstretched. What was he thinking?
I totally agree. The video is basically an ink blot test to find out what people’s biases are in the case.
He clearly brought his hands down in a manner that could reasonably be interpreted as reaching for a gun.
What is not clear is whether or not that was a reaction to being shot. It doesn’t appear to be to me, but it is hard to tell conclusively without audio or other video angles. If the first shots were fired after he reached it is a clean shooting.
