Video shows a clean shot IMO.

quote:

The F.B.I. took the extraordinary step of releasing surveillance video on Thursday showing the shooting death of LaVoy Finicum, a member of the armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge here in eastern Oregon, as the occupation continued by a handful of followers.

Mr. Finicum, 54, was killed Tuesday by Oregon State Police troopers, said Greg Bretzing, the special agent in charge for the F.B.I in Oregon, after he tried to run through a police barricade on a wooded road, then climbed from his truck and, Mr. Bretzing said, reached for a weapon in his jacket pocket.

“There are various versions of what occurred during this event: most inaccurate, some inflammatory,” Mr. Bretzing said, before playing the video — shot from an aircraft — at a news conference. “To that end, we want to do what we can to lay out an honest and unfiltered view of what happened and how it happened.”

But they and FB said he came out with his hands up and surrendered after he laid down. This must be one of those fake gov't videos. idiots

We want to show you this honest and unfiltered view . . . from a helicopter where you'll just have to trust us that he was pulling a gun.

Perhaps. There isn't really any context (I.e. Was he saying something?). Does that change the fact that he came out with his hands up?

It seems like he'd come out gun in hand if his intent was to shoot, rather than put his hands up. But people are dumb, so who knows.

He did come out with his hands up then put them in his jacket.

It looked cold. Probably just wanted to warm them up for a few seconds.

You know what I mean. Yes, he initially did, then began reaching for something. The cops weren't going to let him take it out after they were already running from them.

And this is coming from someone who hates cops.

He was definitely speeding but he wasn't trying to run anyone over. If anything he was trying to avoid the cars.

Why would he have his hands up. See all the agents. Then suddenly go for a gun? As if seeing them suddenly made him think he could shoot his way out of it. If only we could hear what was being said.

Playing dumb? You said people were idiots for saying he had his hands up when the video showed that he did. I think it's noteworthy that he didn't jump out of the car and run at the cops like other initial accounts said.

I never said he reached for a gun buddy.

You said he reached. His hands could have come down while he tried to keep his balance in the 2 ft snow.
