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.

That’s exactly what I’ve said right along- EVERYTHING he3 did was an attempt to protect those in the vehicle- He puts both hands out the window to show he isn’t holding a weapon in an attempt to make sure no shots are fired at them- this doesn’t work because the LEO’s apparently are out for blood- His vehicle was fired at in the first stop- He takes off in an effort to protect everyone- He races down the road trying to get distance away from shooters- He encounters a roadblock and instead of ramming it again tries to protect everyone by braking and veering off- His vehicle is fired on, He comes to a halt and jumps out of truck immediately and runs as far as he can from the truck in an effort to draw fire away- hence his words ‘just shoot me then’ hoping to draw all their fire his way instead of at the truck
What a horrible horrible situation the FBI turned this into- Had Finicum been black, NO shots would have ever been fired In the first place!
