So.... there was no real reason for them pulling him over (so to speak) at the first intersection ?
They never should have left the stop. One of the threads tonight mentions that they were being shot at and that the rear window of the truck had bullet holes. If true it might cause someone to flee. Also, Victoria Sharp who was in the truck with Finicum said:
“He put his hands out the window, he was trying to talk with them” “Ryan (Payne) said, ‘We have women in the car, let the women out’” “He stuck his head out and they shot at him... but they missed him.”
Sharp said that they began to realize that the police “meant business” and that Finicum, who was driving, yelled that he was going to continue driving so that he could “talk to the sheriff.”
