The ambush was set up by non-Sheriff LEOs. They had orders to arrest him, they got wind he was en route somewhere, they don’t care about the details.
Trustworthy? since when should a suspect “trust” LEOs who’s job it plainly is to simply catch the suspect and stick him in a cage until a judge can sort out the legal nuances? We all know cops will, as SOP, say anything to induce a suspect to risk arrest - and then arrest him. I’d not be surprised at all if the Sheriff was part of the setup: just convince Finicum to leave the building and drive somewhere he could be ambushed and arrested, shot if he does ANYTHING remotely threatening.
If what you are saying is correct, it doesn’t say much for the integrity of any of those agencies...
I think you are grasping at straws...
I think those wanna-be heroes were just itching to shoot somebody.....
Oh, Good God.
Do you actually KNOW anything about this other than some of the details, ctdonath?
There have been several articles posted on FR detailing that the dispatcher was treating her? own Sheriff as an "untrusted person" when he was trying to get information about the arrests.
Go find them, and get back to us.
