Watching the shooting video, it certainly appeared that
Mr. Finicum had his hands in the air & was walking away
from his vehicle when he was shot. - He had made a video
a few days earlier explaining his position in a calm &
detailed manner. He appeared sensible.
You’re not really watching the video, or if you are, you need to get your eyeglass prescription adjusted. He yelled 5 times some form of “Go ahead and shoot me” or “You’re gonna have to shoot me” and then he reached for his gun, TWICE. That’s when he was shot.
You must have watched a different video than I did. LaVoy was walking with his hands up, then placed his right hand down to his jacket twice as he was walking back in the general direction of his truck.
Good, bad or indifferent, LaVoy brought about his own death by not simply laying down and surrendering. These are cops with adrenaline pumping through their veins. One small move they perceive as threatening...you're done.
