What about the poor guy WNO shot Michael Brown. His name was not protected. He was innocent. Why can’t we know who shot LaVoy if it was such a righteous shooting?

Of course the Dim is concerned about protecting the police, once Obama appoints a raging leftist to replace Scalia on SCOTUS;

It will be the local police enforcing the tyrannical laws soon to be ruled constitutional.

The Public has the Right to know who the Killer is

Accused gets to face the accuser.

But they released Darren Wilson's name oh so fast....

Of course they released his name, and we all know why too, don't we?

“Just give him a Lon Horuachi Medal and move along.”

Lol! Lon’s name passed through my head as well when I saw this article. If a cop can shoot a woman standing in her home holding her baby without repercussions, then the guys (plural) who shot Finicum should have nothing to worry about.

When thug Michael Brown got his the name of the cop was broadcast within hours. So why not?

Perhaps they just want time to get the officer and his family into hiding.

The officer may be a legitimate target, but his family is NOT, unless we choose to become what the left accuses us of being, terrorists.

The real target should be whoever GAVE THE ORDERS that resulted in his murder.

I actually don’t believe in killing anyone, but analyzing the killing of LaVoy Finicum and the feelings of rage out there anything is possible.

I have to forgive and let the individual and individuals responsible consider their actions if they have a conscience.

If some legal means are available to go after those responsible, then it should be exercised by those able to do so.

Killing? Did I say anything about killing? I did say "target"...target of an investigation for instance. But did not say killing; execution after a fair trial is different. Target disappears, has fair trial and is never found.

Remember, they will think nothing of killing me or you if it furthers their cause, and there will be no trial.

Nonviolence is my intention, but I understand how you feel and the history of non-violent protest shows violence can follow.

In 1963 Bull Connor’s actions at Birmingham followed by Klan bombings in the area including the church bombing that killed four girls on a Sunday morning all led to a backlash of racial violence that would spread across the country without end for five plus years.

The actions of Democrats and the silence of Republicans about the killing of LaVoy Finicum and the cause of the protestors speaks volumes to me at this point.
