The passengers riding in the truck of Oregon refuge occupation spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum on Jan. 26, 2016 have filed their own civil rights lawsuit against the FBI, Harney County sheriff and others, including a federal informant.
It's the second civil suit stemming from the day when FBI and police arrested leaders of the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife refuge......
Cox, Ryan Bundy and singer Victoria Sharp were crouched in the back seat of the truck at the roadblock. Ryan Payne had earlier gotten out of the front passenger seat of the truck when police first stopped it on the highway. They are the four plantiffs listed in this latest lawsuit.
The 18 page complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Portland alleges that they were the victims of an "armed ambush, excessive-force seizure, conspiracy, battery an assault" and seeks a "common law jury" to award damages of up to $1 million per count.

The complaint also seeks to ensure that the defendants don't hold public office because of their "Bad Behavior" and for "dishonoring" the U.S. Constitution.
Indicted FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita, Greg Bretzing, who was special agent in charge of Oregon's FBI at the time, Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward, Mark McConnell, who was an FBI informant driving Ammon Bundy off the refuge that day, Oregon Gov.

It was the FBI or the Oregon FBI, as I recall.
The “authorities” set up a kill zone and then they used it to kill LaVoy. That was no accident. They planned for an execution and they got one.
I am glad they are suing. The scene of the shooting was like a mob hit. I was disgusted by what they did to LaVoy and to the passengers in the truck. They terrorized them. Where are the body cam videos? We would not know this happened if the citizens in the truck had not recorded the events.
“The fed and state thugs were emboldened during the Obama administration.”
Even before then....Ruby Ridge, Waco....
FBI...Federal Bushwhacking Idiots.
