Rubber bullets against a man who had been seen armed and had announced he wouldn’t be arrested alive? A man who was feeling a stop by LEOs?
I’m on the ranchers’ side in the land fight but Lavoy got himself killed by way of a string of dumb acts.
He said he wouldn’t be taken alive and he made sure that happened. Luckily he didn’t kill anyone during the episode.
You want to say that rubber bullets don’t work? Or that medical personnel weren’t needed?
I’d be on the side of the ranchers, too. But I’d also point out that occupying a building in a wildlife preserve in the middle of nowhere has to rank pretty high on the list of “Useless and Ineffective Ways to Effectuate Change and Get Your Message Across.”
