“”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.””
FOX Cable had a report from a FORMER FBI AGENT before the noon show came on and his take was “suicide by cop.” He based it on the statement that Finicum made.
I’ll tell you the guy didn’t speak very well and how does any news show know someone is actually WHO they say they are BEFORE they put them on the air? I would hope ANY FBI agent - former or not - would at least speak coherently.
He obviously dipped into the bucket of “ready made explanations” - former FBI or not. Anything goes in DC..
Supposedly there is going to be a news briefing and I thought they said 9 meaning Pacific time but so far, I haven’t seen anything here in the East.
An easy call to make by someone who wasn't within a thousand miles of the shooting. Finicum was a rancher who was making a stand against the BLM in Arizona, a father with 11 kids. He doesn't sound suicidal to me.

Pretty typical talking head, for Fox and most of the other media outlets.
