Except we have video that contradicts that story.

One camera view that fails to show enough detail to quell doubt.

And I have a lot of doubt. LaVoy looked less like a guy trying to draw a pistol and more like a guy who'd gotten tagged in the side by either tazer or bullet and then got lit up by everyone else...

The family has questions as well, http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/02/lavoy_finicums_family_death_un.html

excerpt from link above, “The family of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum issued a second, stronger statement calling the shooting death of the refuge occupier unjustified and accusing the FBI and Oregon State Police of a cover-up.

The family, who released the second statement Tuesday through its lawyer, drew its conclusions based on further viewing of the video released by the FBI last week and accounts of the shooting from Shawna Cox, a passenger in Finicum’s truck who was released last week.

Based on the video and two eyewitness accounts, the statement said, “what we believe the video shows is that LaVoy was being fired upon before he even got out of the truck.”

The family members said they believed Finicum left his white truck to draw fire away from the other three occupants, which included an 18-year-old girl. The FBI has been unwilling to release details of exactly how many times and where Finicum was shot.”

The full statement from the family is linked in this article.
