This is a shortened and edited version of FBI footage showing the joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert “LaVoy†Finicum on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
You’ll note that Finicum was shot by an Oregon State Police Trooper at relatively close range as he appeared to be reaching into his coat in a manner consistent with attempting to draw a handgun.
Flash bangs were then deployed in an effort to get the other occupants of the vehicle to surrender.

The claim was an erroneous second hand narrative of what he understood Shawna to say.
This is exactly how it went down with those Occupy standoffs.
Wait, never mind.
Okay. Folks are fast posting around here!
I’d like to HEAR this. Hands up but then reaches for gun. Was a shot fired before he reached?
..I’ll have to find it and watch it again...
The scene is too far away with too little clear detail to see exactly what the man actually was doing with his hands. Everything about what he did with his hands is pure speculation at this distant view.
Hmmm, a military class drone (based on the reticle) just happened to be there. Uh huh.
Why hasn’t the FBI put H->! in jail?
Emphasis on “edited”.

Oh, and the video is EDITED, so we have no idea if more shots were fired.
He was surrendering you fool, he was shot and leaned towards his wound and hit again. The shots continued firing after they murdered this patriotic American...you can see the snow tufts flying from the bullets.
There are more cowards on Free Republic than I ever remember seeing before.
What is your source for this statement?
Um, it is even labeled as shortened and edited.
Nice execution. Very smooth operation. One would think that they planned it that way.
You should change your name to The Troll. There are good people in government. They are the ones preventing the really stupid shit. Your welcome.
At what part in the video do you see a gun? When he is shot? Or after they have approached the body and disarmed it?
He flinched towards his wound he received from that murderous pig.
My observations at this time from viewing the ‘edited’ 8:03 version.
Appears edited AND spliced, maybe from different sources (if so where are they).
The black bars and crosshairs could be an overlay to make the video seem to be from the same source and give the impression of continuity.
What is the time reference for the upper left clock? I don’t think it is Pacific Std time. If so this would be about 1/2 hour after midnight.
At the first stop I see hands outside the passenger window, then withdrawn, so it is not the outside mirror.
On the driver side I see at least one arm outside, in addition to the mirror. Then the view is cut off by the tree.
At the final stop, the agent jumped in front of the PU too late for the PU to stop or turn out of the way.
Notice the ‘tracks’ along the tree line on the left side of the road, near the trees, but far from the pristene snow closer to the highway. What are they? Who made them? When? The shooter came out of the trees and over these tracks.
I could not see any bullet holes in PU.
Not conclusive he was reaching for a gun (let’s see it and the registered SN). Not conclusive that he was not.
Sad.
For me, any further stories should jive with my observations above.
“I’d like to HEAR this. Hands up but then reaches for gun. Was a shot fired before he reached?”
He didn’t have a gun, he reached for the wound where he took the first bullet.
