LaVoy Finicum's family has filed a lawsuit in this matter over his murder, which was done by state troopers instructed by the FBI not to wear their body cams that day.
Others in the vehicle have also filed a lawsuit in connection with what happened to them that day.
Ammon Bundy commented on his Facebook page last night.
Among other things he said "The FBI did not want the American people to see what they were planning on that isolated snowy road".

The government response also reveals that Oregon State Police SWAT troopers at the scene, ordinarily required to wear body cameras, didn’t that day at the request of the FBI. The FBI did obtain video from FBI surveillance planes flying above the scene.
State police detectives also normally record interviews of officers who might be involved in a shooting, but they didn’t that night when questioning the FBI Hostage Rescue Team members, but they didn’t that night when questioning the FBI Hostage Rescue Team members, again at the FBI’s request. A follow-up interview with the hostage team members also came with unusual conditions, prosecutors note.
The FBI policy is not to allow recordings of its agents...
My best conclusion, is they do this so they can craft the narrative they wish, without having pesky facts interfere.
“So are they all, all honourable men.”
“The stench of the FBI extends well beyond Washington DC, all the way to Oregon.”
Yeah, I want to puke when the President says what a bunch of “good guys,” the 32,000 FBI field agents are. They are often criminals in the way they go about their jobs, but you lie to them and you’re going to go to jail for it, even if it’s an honest error. And the problem we citizens have is trying to find a lawyer to represent us against them we can trust.
Any respect I ever had for the FBI is gone. I would refuse to even speak to them. I’m still amazed whend I think of what they tried to do to Richard Jewell. Never even mind all of their sordid, banana Republic criminality since.
All of the sanctimony about the FBI is misplaced. As an organization (as opposed to the rank and file) they have been corrupt for longer than it matters. For my part, they hit my radar screen when they framed Richard Jewell. That was enough for me.
As long as Lon Horiuchi walks free, this will be the case.

But there was another vehicle with Finicum’s. They stopped and surrendered when told to do so by law enforcement. They lived to fight another day.
Finicum proceeded to commit suicide by cop, endangering the lives of his passengers and law enforcement officers.
What none of the men at the meeting in Providence realized was that the location where they met to discuss the killing of Deegan was bugged by the FBI's organized crime division. It was an illegal wire, known as a "gypsy wire," unauthorized by any court of law but fully sanctioned by Director J. Edgar Hoover.FBI and Organized Crime - Whitey Bulger CaseThere are multiple FBI memos, never revealed until many decades later, that show the FBI knew what was coming next. They sat back and let it happen.
Astarita told state police investigators that he was among the agents at the roadblock and described how Finicum's truck approached at about 70 mph. Astarita said he believed Finicum had struck another hostage team agent as he swerved into the snowbank.
That could explain why he took the shot, but doesn't excuse lying about it.
The video from Inside the vehicle
Is chilling.
Lavoy was VERY agitated...
Just despicable action by law enforcement.
Check the location of the “stop”.
There was no room for the truck TO STOP!
Had he not hit the snowbank—we would all be hearing about him “RAMMING THE POLICE”. This would then have justified A LOT MORE SHOOTING—and no survivors, most likely.
To form an accurate opinion of the FBI field agents all one needs to do is recall RUBY RIDGE. The FBI murdered a teenage child and his mother over a sawed-off single barreled shotgun. The sawed-off shotgun resulted from undercover FBI agents enticing the dad and husband into sawing the barrel off in order to entrap him in their sting. This FBI scandal and the FBI/military massacre of the innocent men, women and children at Waco all happened on the Bill Clinton/Janet Reno watch.

Appears someone was attempting to shoot him in the back as he exited the vehicle but aimed a little low as the bullet went thru the roof and then the window...
Looking more and more like an American gestapo...

My goodness. That is a chilling story.

Finicum saved the people in the SUV that day
