FBI Agent Accused Of Lying In Finicum Shooting Found Not Guilty
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) ^ | Aug. 10, 2018 | Conrad Wilson

Posted on 08/14/2018 9:29:32 AM PDT by Sopater

After less than a day of deliberation, a jury of nine men and three women found FBI special agent Joseph Astarita not guilty of lying about a high-profile police shooting during the 2016 Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

Astarita faced two counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice.

The charges stemmed from a critical moment during the occupation when spokesman Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum was shot and killed by Oregon State Police after he fled a traffic stop along a remote stretch of highway in eastern Oregon.

Why would I watch a video.. RELEASED BY THE FBI?

...

Because it is synchronized by the local investigators with video by one of the women in Finicum’s truck, and put on Youtube by the Oregon newspaper. This video has been available for viewing and analysis for two years.

When spokesman Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum was murdered by Oregon State Police and FBI shooters after he was fired upon earlier along a remote stretch of highway in eastern Oregon, and tried to flee to the protection of honest law enforcement officals.

He and his party were instead ambushed at an illegal road block constructed around a blind curve by anonymous camouflaged backshooters.

Fixed it for you.

You're just saying that, because it's true...

It sounds like the OSP has already claimed that their officers shot Finnicum, but no one is claiming to have taken these two shots as Finnicum exited the vehicle.

They're not saying that it's aliens, but...

It's aliens.

Finnicum was first SHOT IN HIS SIDE and he then reacted, which gave the APPEARANCE he was reaching for his firearm. OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK! Knowing what we know now about OBAMA'S FBI, I have NO DOUBT it was the FBI who murdered Finnicum in cold blood.

Nice trick.

Wonder how many innocent people they had to murder to get that one down pat?    thinking face

You will almost NEVER find a cop federal or otherwise convicted of murder or manslaughter even when they are blatantly obviously guilty. Just the way it is - one standard of justice of us peasants and another for the king’s men.

I appreciate that but I could not stand to put up with this sort of thing and you can bet you would be gone in any department that allows it. I was always against Civilian Review Boards and still aim for the most part. It would be great but Civilians can be gotten to like everyone else. We have sold our souls for a dollar. Just think and give me a profession that has not sold out in the last 25 years for the dollar. I know they say one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch but it appears it does. This breaks my heart. America is in dire straights if good people do not go to standing up and I am afraid the good are out numbered.

” I was always against Civilian Review Boards and still aim for the most part. It would be great but Civilians can be gotten to like everyone else.”

Me too, because usually CRB’s are set up with a political “slant.” Unfortunately, we are, in too many police agencies, dealing with internal corruption and the internal controls are also in many cases corrupt as well. I guess the open question to be asked is “are we still capable of self-governance?”
