He gave the police a reason to shoot him, by being shot at.

WTF? Where do these people come up with this stuff?

People come up with this stuff by observing what you refuse to acknowledge.

LaVoy knew that in the eyes of the authorities he was breaking the law.

LaVoy saw that those who surrendered at the first stop were taken into custody without violence, and would have their day in court (which is where patriotic Americans resolve their legal disputes).

LaVoy refused to surrender and instead more than 10 times told the police to shoot him.

LaVoy told the police that help was coming and that there would be a "bloodbath".

LaVoy fled the police and, when forced to stop, exited his truck, refused to surrender, and when he appeared to reach inside his jacket was shot.

All this after making a point of saying that he would die before he went to prison.

That's where they come up with this stuff.
