Whatever the # happened to do not fire unless fired upon>? Bunch of pussy footing thugs
The car is every bit as deadly as a gun. And he vowed to shoot them and dud not surrender. He was running around reaching into his jacket.
Game over.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO?? The freaking fed/cop who the hell ever JUMPED infront of the car no one was trying to hit them..
Are you crazy? No one jumps in front of a speeding car intentionally! He clearly thought the car he was hiding behind was going to be rammed and wanted to get away, only to learn finicum decided to try to go around it. Finicum endangered them all willfully by trying to go around. He almost ran that guy over and that's proof.
Was that necessary?
You may not know this, but bullets travel long distances after you fire them

Why is it important for gvmt haters to believe the officer tried to stop a ton of moving metal with his body? Because if he didn't do that, then you have to admit finicum put the officer in danger by trying to run the blockade.

Arresting terrorists is not bad behavior by the Feds.
Face palm!

The feds are still a HUGE threat to all of us. The whole damned world.

Looking at that in HD and slow motion I'm going to say that whoever shot Finicum is NOT in frame
The cop running at him from the trees doesn't even have a pistol in his hands so it's not him
None of the other cops fire either, I've studied each one of them and if they shot there's no recoil from the guns, throughout the whole sequence their hands and guns stay firm without a flinch. There's one guy who's getting in position to take aim with what seems an AR-15 but Finicum falls before he's taken aim.
Also to note, the cop from the tree's seems to be waving his hands in some kind of gesture I find odd for the situation, he's not holding a pistol but it certainly looks like a Taser, I'm wondering if he's gesturing for the other cops to stand down so he can taze Finicum ?

When you seek to use or threaten violence to alter public policy, you are a terrorist.
Finicum was a terrorist who drove into that roadblock knowing it was there and intending to get around it or die trying.
Finicum would tell you he was NOT murdered while holding his arms up because otherwise that would mean he lied about dying to stay out of jail, meaning he was a coward and not the hero right wing whackos want him to be. So if you believe he was murdered while surrendering, then you must by definition admit he was a coward and a liar.

The blockade was placed on a turn or bend in the road, it's simply obvious Finicum had no time to break.... Finicum even tries to avoid killing the stupid cop/fed who jumps out.
If that cop/fed was trying to save his own life, he wouldn't have jump in the path of the truck and then into a shooting stance.... the cop/fed was an idiot.
I also would bet he was popping a few rounds into the truck before getting plowed... a complete dumbass move...

No. When you use violence against INNOCENT CIVILIANS to alter public policy, you are a terrorist. Mr. Finicum neither threatened nor took any violence against innocent civilians for any reason. And he did not threaten violence against the feds either... he promised self defense if they took violent actions against him. This could have and should have been handled without loss of life. The feds did what they did to protect themselves.

No. Finicum didn't put that road block there... after a bend... with no good options once he reached. The Feds did, knowing damn well that they were putting lives in danger, which would then give LEOs the "right" to kill him under color of law. And Finicum sure as hell didn't make anyone shoot up a vehicle with women still in it.
Finicum would tell you he was NOT murdered while holding his arms up because otherwise that would mean he lied about dying to stay out of jail, meaning he was a coward and not the hero right wing whackos want him to be. So if you believe he was murdered while surrendering, then you must by definition admit he was a coward and a liar.
I don't care what Mr. Finicum would or would not tell me (nor do I think you have any idea what he would say). Mr. Finicum was a hero who was trying his damnedest to protect two women -- one completely innocent, even according to the feds -- from being shot and killed by trigger happy sociopaths with a gun and a badge, and he did what he knew to do: He made himself the target. When push came to shove, he had the courage and integrity to sacrifice himself, knowing very well what the cowardly feds had done... and fearing what they would do.

Those FBI agents are ordinary Americans with families who swore an oath to protect the constitution and America. And you're sullying their name.

Oh please! He slowed after the last turn as he saw the blockade 100 yards ahead or so, then sped up again.

Those FBI agents are protecting the corporations, they are just thugs now..... Finicum was on his way to talk about the constitution to a large group of people... He died defending his constitutional rights, A TRUE HERO.
