An eyewitness and his daughter have provided the first outside account of the shootout between members of the Oregon militiamen who had seized the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge complex and a blocking force of FBI agents who kept the vehicle from escaping an attempted traffic stop.

Ah yes...the old “he reached into his waistband” excuse.
Like Ferguson, I’m going to wait for more facts to come out before passing judgement either way.

Check out all the comments below the video linked in post 2.
Like Ferguson, they are very slow to emerge, and often in conflict.
I think we’re all bozos on this bus.,..
Yep, which is why I wait.
I believe it was murder...
Agreed. They ‘needed’ to make an example of someone.
However, if no long-form FBI video emerges I will suspect the worst.
Ferguson, Occupy Wall Street, Baltimore, L.A., Milwaukee...All protests with violence, looting, burning, yet no law enforcement action...
Oregon protest...No violence, no looting, no burning, only occupation of a wildlife preserve (woods and fields) but the law enforcement kills someone...
What is wrong here????
Robert Pirsig taught me
THE TESTS OF TRUTH
1. Logical consistency.
2. Agreement with experience.
3. Economy of explanation.
Law enforcement has been changing their story about this and providing long explanations.
“3. Economy of explanation” would seem to disagree with them.
“3. Economy of explanation” would be,
“He came charging at us with guns blazing, so we had to shoot him.”
They didn’t say that.
Traffic stop? Bravo Sierra.
It was an ambush of the two vehicles that they new were coming.
Waist Band? More Bravo Sierra.
No western rancher I know (and I know a LOT of them) carries a handgun in his waist band.
This administration and their agencies involved with this are zeroing in on the false narrative they intend to feed the masses as justification for this.

M4L truth
I’m waiting for video. And while I am 100% certain that such video exists I am also 100% certain that we’ll never see it.
Wrong color.
Its easy - habitually incredulous news media vs. suddenly credulous news media.
Clearly set up to be well out of town and out of sight of the media.
Agreed - no video, no FBI credibility on this, since we know the video exists.
