[[When he got out of the vehicle, instead of getting down and lying prone with his hands out, to show no possibility of a threat, he acted erratically.]]
There may have been a very good reason for this- IF they had been firing at the vehicle, He was likely getting himself as far away fro mthe vehicle as possible to try to protect the occupants of the vehicle by drawing fire away from the truck
[[Lavoy fled a stop by law enforcement.]]
There may be a reason for that too- according to witness- the stopped vehicle was fired at several times-
[[In coming as close as he did to the one officer who stepped out to try and stop him, he risked that officer’s life.]]
Actually, the officer is the one who reacted recklessly- (perhaps because he thought the truck was going to hit the vehicles and push the vehicle into him)- it is clear fro mthe video that Finicum tried to avoid the vehicles, and was braking- I saw nothing intentional about his driving that might have indicated he tried to hit anything or anyone
[[He appeared on two occasion to lower his hands and reach to his side.]]
Again, why? TReaching for gun? Was shot with stun gun? Was shot with real guns?
Lavoy got out and acted erratically.
In ANY case such as this, the police will be telling you, and it is the only safe course, to get down immediately, lie flat and put your arms out to remove any chance of being viewed as a threat.
Sadly, for whatever reason, he did not do that.
