Your last sentence, if accurate, is quite telling.
FBI agents and Secret Service agents used to be held in high regard.
Who would trust any of them now?
Who trusts our government now?
What sort of taser can penetrate a winter coat from 25 feet? Is this some sort of black mil spec thing we've never seen?
Think.
If I was a Republican POTUS candidate, I’d avoid the Secret Service totally.
Likely they are agents for the regime.
Then next January begin to purge the Obama hacks.
“That’s it. That’s all they got.”
There could still be more:
“The defendants have a right to indictment by grand jury within a few weeks, and that indictment may include more charges and more creative theories”
They just needed something to put on the arrest warrants.
Thank you for the link. I’ll try to stay up on it now.
It’s very hard (emotionally for me) to watch the video but I’m glad I did.
For one type of Taser, which fires two barbed darts attached to wires using compressed nitrogen, the answer is easy—the barbs penetrate clothing and pierce the skin, causing a quick connection. But as for the two-pronged models many people carry in their purses or back pockets when walking alone on a dark city street, the answer involves a little bit of basic physics.
The police carry the ones that fire two pronged barbed darts which will penetrate your winter coat like a knife through butter.
25 feet? Tree Agent was 5 feet away from Lavoy.
There are many books and articles out now describing how out-of-control the legal system is.
Basically, if a prosecutor wants to charge you, he goes to the Big Buffet of Endless Laws, and picks out a dish, or two, or three. Or umpteen.
What a ridiculous charge! You could prosecute someone for advising their neighbors on how to avoid census workers.
At any rate, we all are busily violating federal law all year, every year.
We just haven't been prosecuted...
Which brings me to Hillary and Lois Lerner. They both committed MULTIPLE SERIOUS FEDERAL FELONIES.
What have we got from the "authorities"?
Crickets.
You can't maintain a legal system with selective enforcement.
Eventually, the "marks" get wise to the operation.
The X-26 Stun Gun that police forces carry is able to stun a target efficiently up to 15 feet away through 2 inches of clothing FRiend.
You wrote (to me): “He wasn’t in deep snow.”
Earlier you posted:
“I’ve examined the video closer and further after the roadblock. My determination is thus.
“Truck crashes left of roadblock into 3-4 foot deep snow bank
“Lavoy exits with hands raised intending to surrender, takes 5-10 steps away from the roadblock parallel to the road between the truck and treeline. “

You can’t have it both ways.
Or do you just like to argue?
Exactly what do you think is ‘deep snow’? What depth of snow can you walk in, and maintain your balance with both hands in the air?
.
The truck was buried in snow.
Where he walked to with his hands up and was killed was not in deep snow.
Watch the video.
I watched the entire video.
Before FreedomStar3028 brought up the Taser, I remember thinking it odd that Agent Tree appeared to have a handgun.
If I was in position up in the woods, I would have had a rifle.
Handguns are ridiculously inaccurate beyond a certain range.
Most people practice at 30 to 50 feet [10-15 yards].
I can comfortably target something at 75 feet with a AR-15 rifle. You barely have to sight it.
A handgun? Forget it.
She wrote "knee deep snow", and her observation was correct. Some types of powder snow can get real "greasy" underfoot.
See my post #394
I can offer some observations about snow, having a little experience with it. :)
Thank you, kiryandil.
I don’t understand FreedomStar3028’s contradiction of his own comment.
I am sickened by this event, the murder of Mr.Finicum.
Next time, it could be any one of us.
What officer would fire a handgun with his arm fully extended while moving?
It’s super odd that he didn’t have a rifle, he wasn’t in a firing position, and he ran up on Lavoy with something small in his left arm fully extended, he gets to about 10 feet away from Lavoy which is well within effective range of the X-26 stun gun that police use.
Why get that close to fire a handgun? It makes absolutely no sense that the agent would run up on him like that. They know that he is likely armed. There’s no other reason for that agent to run up on him like that other than to use his stun gun.
When a snowplow pushes snow off a road, the initial 10-15-20 feet next to the road tend to get hard-packed on the top.
If you step on it, there's usually a 3-8 inch crust that may or may not hold you. If it's a thicker crust, and you go through, it tends to "grab" at your boot and leg as you try to move through it. As you get farther from the road, it turns more powdery, especially in areas that are climatically similar to Harney County.
