You really need to read the thread and the Constitution. I'm sorry your education was so woefully inadequate.

How about the more accurate "They shot a guy who refused to surrender, and reached for a gun"!
He was not trying to surrender....
he was not murdered...

Here’s what the main-stream-media, and the FBI failed to tell you about the condition of Lavoy Finicum’s body. As previously reported, Finicum died of 3 gunshots. When the family received the body, they soon realized their beloved husband and father was shot 9 times, once in the face. There will be no open casket at the funeral.
Last week, news broke that LaVoy Finicum had been gunned down by federal agents following an ambush, and while video of the terrifying incident was released, details have been slim. However, that’s since changed, and after his family received his body, they made a chilling discovery.
The investigative blog LozzaFun1 had more information about Finicum’s death, which seemed more like an assassination if you actually watched the video, and according to Barbara Davis, things are exactly as they speared to be. If you remember, the FBI claims that they found a 9mm pistol in Finicum’s pocket after searching his lifeless body, but there’s eyewitness reports that he and the people with him purposefully left the weapons at the refuge in case they ran into law enforcement.
That same witness also claimed that the reason Finicum fled the initial stop is because he was being shot at by authorities.
“The only reason he drove off was because he was being fired at so he drove off so he didn’t get shot. There’s two rounds in the top of his truck that they were able to photograph. That’s why he drove off and tried to get around there because he was afraid they were going to kill him. And he was right.”
The FBI’s claim is further called into question after seeing what Davis wrote on Facebook about the serial number. Apparently, members of the Pacific Patriots Network were able to run the serial number 54119868, and the weapon was stolen two years ago, so she believes it’s a plant.
Also, when Finicum’s family received the rancher’s body, they discovered that he had been shot nine times by federal authorities. If you watch the video, that seems like entirely too many for the situation, considering that Finicum appeared to have his hands in the air just prior to being mercilessly gunned down. Davis also said that Finicum now has to have a closed casket funeral, thanks to being shot directly in the face.

Shot "Nine times" and shot in the face. That is called over kill.
That is why you will not hear any sound on the video in question, it will incriminate the federal police for murder.
I believe the family has a case.
What do you all believe?
here you go.

I think the family ought go through his belongings & paperwork at home on the 9mm. To see if the serials match. That would show if the 9mm was a plant or if the 9mm was new, or passed legally from seller/buyer. If it was sold and went through proper paperwork, then that proves the information in the report is falsified as being stolen.

I guess the question is how would the cops know he was reaching for a gun when he was killed before any gun was even visual? Are we at the point it is justified if the cops "feel" a person might reach for a gun to shoot them?

Officers do this on an almost daily basis. Many people (usually those on the conservative side politically) feel that is completely justified.
Especially if it's a "thug".
