“There was no continuous shooting after Finicum was down. He was shot 3 times. Any shooting after that was the teargas/pepper spray rounds and flashbangs being shot at the truck to encourage the occupants to give up.”
WHAT???? Are you deaf as well as blind?
What exactly did these people do other than drive down a public road? The Gestapo was lying in wait to MURDER them.
Was this overkill?
Heads will roll over this. Thank God they had that cell phone going.
Oh and by the way, just because you tell law enforcement to shoot and or kill you, they aren’t allowed to do so.

You are correct - telling the cops to shoot you doesn’t justify them doing so. I never said it did. I was answering the comment that said “I heard him saying STOP STOP.” And I would add that if you do something stupid and threatening, like reaching for a gun, even if he HAD been yelling STOP STOP, they’d still be justified in shooting him.
