If LaVoy would have stayed stopped at the first encounter, kept his hands in plain sight, and waited for his day in court, he would still be alive.

LaVoy committed suicide by cop, and that's the way he wanted it.

So you would keep your hands up when shot? Bigger tough guy than most.

It may have been a tough call for Finicum. More than one of the occupants in Finicum's truck claim they were fired upon while stopped the first time and the man in the right front passenger seat had both his hands out the window. First bullet just missed him and hit the right side mirror. It is likely Finincum feared for his life and the lives of his passengers at the first stop.
