New Video Shows Two Camera Angles Of LaVoy Finicum Shooting
LiveLeak ^ | 3/8/16

Posted on 03/08/2016 6:16:30 PM PST by Wilderness Conservative

Burns, OR - An FBI agent is suspected of lying about firing twice at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and may have gotten help from four other FBI agents in covering up afterward, authorities revealed Tuesday.

The bullets didn't hit Finicum and didn't contribute to his death, but now all five unnamed agents, part of an elite national unit, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is leading the independent inquiry.

The remarkable disclosure came as a team of local investigators released findings that two state troopers shot Finicum three times in the back during the chaotic scene at a police roadblock Jan. 26. One bullet pierced his heart, an autopsy showed.

A prosecutor ruled the fatal shooting was legally justified, saying state law allows use of deadly force when officers believe a person is about to seriously injure or kill someone. Finicum kept moving his hands toward a pocket that contained a loaded handgun. Although he was shot from behind, Finicum had a trooper in front of him armed with a Taser who was thought to be in danger.

Finicum, 54, an Arizona rancher, was one of the leaders of the Jan. 2 takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns.

Investigators gave no details to explain why the one FBI agent, a member of the Hostage Rescue Team, wouldn't report the two shots. They also didn't indicate what his four colleagues on the team did to warrant investigation other than saying it was related to conduct after the shooting.

At first I thought this might have been a case of suicide by cop but after watching this I'm not so sure. This looks more like a a like Ruby Ridge only video taped.

Oh WOW....this is BAD. Far worse than I thought it would be. It’s criminal...both in the initial acts and in the coverup. And possibly in the planning also. What kind of monsters do we hire in government now?

Obama labels Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, etc., as protesters. Obama labels American patriots as terrorists. The FBI HRT goon squad prides themselves on following orders. I’ve seen enough. I’ll call this murder.

Ambushed and killed his son, no provocation.

Shot his wife IN THE HEAD as she held her baby.

Lied about the initial shooting, lied about losing the front door of the complex.

Wantonly and needlessly drove their tanks atop the graves outside the complex, kept them up at night with lights and blaring music.

Raucous, frat party seige atmosphere.

Then they burned them all to death, including 20 kids, lied their a$$ses off about it afterwards.

They try to kill the people in the SUV for like 5 minutes after Lavoy is down and they are yelling STOP.

Their tactics are crap. How many times do you see an officer in the line of fire of another? I count about 3 or 4. I am amazed officers weren’t shot by their own. I would have kicked my Marines butts for either shooting or getting in the line of friendly fire like that.

That'd be Randy Weaver of Ruby Ridge fame. The little guy in the picture was his son Sammy, shot in the back by a federal marshal with a suppressed submachine gun. He was 13. Weaver's wife Vicky was, as you say, shot in the head, standing unarmed in her cabin door with her baby in her arms. 16-year-old Sarah Weaver was the only unwounded adult in the cabin, and kept her 10-year-old sister and the baby safe for 11 days, laying in her mother's blood as the FBI negotiator was inviting the dead woman to come out for pancakes.

Nothing ever happened to Lon Horiuchi, the FBI sniper who shot her. Nothing.

I'm Richard Jewell. I was the hero of the Olympic Park Bombing during the Atlanta Olympics --I reported the suspicious bomb.

But Bill Clinton REALLLLLLY wanted a perp to be arrested fast, and he ordered the FBI to frame me up.

The FBI immediately complied with this political order.

They pretended to be my friend, and when I was with them for questioning, they lied, saying they reallly needed a random actor for a TRAINING FILM they just happened to be making that day:

They said for the film the needed "a suspect" to break down under questioning and confess "to some bombing".

I was totally going to do it, as I idolized "real cops" for years, but all of a sudden I realized the tape could also be misrepresented as MY OWN CONFESSION.

I called my college buddy, who'd since become a lawyer, and he told me to get the hell out of there.

I came withing a nanometer of being locked up for life as an innocent man.

REMEMBER: THE FBI WAS OKAY FRAMING ME UP.

I lived in Peachtree Hills at the time and was out in Buckhead when a cop told me about the bombing downtown. The rest was a clown show. The investigation was a joke.

Twenty year old book. Gets more relevant every day. Everyone should buy two. One to read and one to loan to those that you care about.  photo Screenshot_20160308-210341_zpsgjwckbzk.png

It’s been going on for decades. Nobody has the parts to do anything about it.

They murder an American and you’re worried about tactics?
