The eyewitnesses in the Fergusen case were what proved the claim of hands up don’t shoot to be false. That and forensic evidence.

There is no reason to think the same would not be true here.

There are a variety of details. All can be checked for accuracy, as can the shots in the body.

But an early "eyewitness" came out with the hands up/don't shoot nonsense. It was really the forensics that proved him wrong. I'll wait for the science on this one as well.

Are you watching it live? Some guy was just screaming at the camera.

But really, if the quotes from Robert Finicum are accurate and he really, truly believed that death was preferable to jail then is it likely he'd be meekly surrendering with his hands up only to be gunned down? That does not sound like the man in the story.

I don't know what the truth of the matter here is. It's clear the authorities initiated the situation but I have no idea how it escalated to gunfire. The truth is almost certainly somewhere between the law enforcement story and the Occupier's story, and I have no doubt it'll be some time before it does come out.
