It is clear that the U.S. Government meant to send a message: "Stand against the Obama administration, and you will be executed in cold blood."
New video from the Oregonian, Oregon’s largest newspaper, provides a dual view of the murder of LaVoy Finicum by federal agents and Oregon State Police. At no point did Mr. Finicum, or the passengers in his vehicle, pose a threat to the law enforcement officials who gunned down Finicum, and shot up the vehicle full of innocent and defenseless passengers. In a statement on Tuesday, Oregon Governor Kate Brown said, “Any loss of life is regrettable, and I appreciate that the independent investigation into the actions of Oregon State Police was completed swiftly and thoroughly. . . Additional questions the investigation raised about the actions of federal agents who were also involved are troubling and properly the subject of an ongoing investigation.”
Oregon’s lone Republican in the U.S. Congress, Representative Greg Walden (R-Hood River), issued the following statement regarding the independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of LaVoy Finicum: “This independent investigation gives us some answers to what happened, but leaves me disturbed and bewildered by the role of the FBI agents who are now under federal investigation themselves. Meanwhile, I will continue working with local officials to get results on the Steens Mountain fencing issue, federal reimbursement for the local policing costs, and to stop the monument designation in Malheur County, among other resource-related issues.”
Another whitewash underway. It is not just the Obama administration that is lawless. The federal government is totally out of bounds, and intends to stay that way by use of whatever force is necessary to keep it so.
“But the shots that killed Lavoy Finicum were fired by Oregon police, not federal agents”
Hey the staters can’t help it if you fibbies can’t shoot straight. :-)
If there was no warrant and all he wanted to do was go and talk with the sheriff, what was the reason for the illegal roadblock?
Who says there was no warrant?
Who says there was one? Where is it?
The only thing any “Oregon Official” might be concerned about is any potential impact upon their re-election ambitions, or possible legal splash-back at some unknown later date...CYA mode...And too little, too late...
Where were the Oregon Officials when this was developing...Nobody see where it was headed and what would happen? A few words from a Congress-critter to the FBI director might have brought a stand-down or at least a pullback to avoid unnecessary bloodshed...
