I dont think they were shot at while driving and the shots at the vehicle at the end I think were less lethal to break the glass.

And the standard is what did the officer perceive the moment force was used. He fled the first stop, avoided a spike strip, tried to avoid the road block and then jumped out of the truck while yelling. He reached.. its doesnt matter what he was reaching for.

I hate saying watch infowars, but watch that video.
There is literally no other conclusion after watching it.
They match the audio with the video. He reached for his gun, THEN was shot, NOT before.

Totality of circumstances... Not just the final shooting but everything leading up to it. It was justified under law by Finicums actions.

When you are surrounded by police and known to be armed and reach for your side, the side you keep your gun on, the police will shoot you every time.
1) How would cops know what 'side' he kept his gun on?
2) The police appeared to be shooting without justifiable CAUSE, prior to that point.

I already acknowledged the first shots. He was able to get out and walk around a few seconds after that. Then he reaches for the side he keeps his 9mm on. For a couple seconds. Then he gets shot.
He gets shot AFTER reaching, not before.

The safest thing he could have done was to submit to the stop and arrest and not flee.
