Well, that's just a dressed up version of "hands up, don't shoot." Finicum broke the law. Finicum attempted to evade capture. Finicum was armed when confronted. Finicum did not appear to be surrendering. Finicum was shot. Finicum lost his life due to the previous sentences.

If that's the case i'm sure they'll get their own AG investigation immediately.
Sorry man but this is bull ****. Police get away with too much killing in this country. I believe he was murdered. You don't just shoot someone for not complying. I don't believe he went for a weapon and won't be convinced until I see close up video. That I'm sure they have. Which will probably get lost.
im sure nothing will happen to them even if they did unjustly shoot him. Well maybe a promotion. That's they way it goes
Either Lavoy Finicum was a liar and a coward, or he was true to his ideals and foolishly brave. The second portion referring to how he'd rather die than go to jail. Given how he presented himself, I'm inclined to believe the latter. Even more so, given his actions on that day. He wasn't murdered, he simply fell on the sword that the FBI raised against him. His death is the fault of no one but himself. This is a classic case of "stupid games, stupid prizes."
I feel for his family. I feel for him because I believe he was an honest, good man. But being honest, and good doesn't make one immune to stupidity.

lots of things let up to the Boston massacre in colonial times. I'll be money that this one comes back front and center in ours. People will remember this. Whether they were right or wrong, no one likes to see Feds kill good people
I think I would like to take you up on that coffee sometime. I'm sure we could have an interesting and civil conversation
I'm still waiting for him to show up to a cheeseburger meet & eat.

Would you be saying the same thing about Lon Horiuchi had someone put a bullet through him for any of his cold-blooded murders?
To be completely honest, it is difficult for me to find sympathy for a family of white supremacists. If Lon was or could be charged for his act, ok, send him to prison. I have no problem with that. I'll note, I don't often sympathize with people that are trash. Sure they deserve their rights, and they deserve justice just as much as anyone else, but still.....

He was charged. As one of the King's men, he has, at his sole discretion, the option to have such criminal charges moved from state to federal court, which he chose to do, and the charges were immediately dismissed. The bottom line is that as a fed, he had a 'get out of jail free' card and played it.
You may not like the Weavers, but to their credit, they went way the hell out in the woods in the middle of nowhere to be left alone. I have my doubts that Randy would have opened the door to any accusation at all had the informant not badgered him into his little bit of amateur gunsmithing, which does not even begin to justify what Horiuchi did.
Oh, and by the way, Lon was also accused of wrong-doing at Waco, but surprise, surprise, he got his rifle rebarreled right after the incident, meaning that there was no evidence.
Jeff Cooper, "The Federal agent who shot Vicki Weaver in the face, deliberately, while she was unarmed and holding her child is named Lon Horiuchi. Remember that name. He is still walking around loose. That man must eventually pay for his crime, here or hereafter. Lon Horiuchi."

Can you give the Cliff's Notes for those of us whose plans would be devoured by that much data usage?
"Deliberately?" That's putting forth a false, or at the very least, unverified narrative. Horiuchi was shooting at Harris (who was armed), as Harris entered the cabin. He struck Harris, and killed Weaver with the same round.
