At 9:33 in the unedited video the guy on the left has got a weapon in his extended left arm less than 12 feet away from Finicum.

Not sure I buy your eyeballing of distance but even if accurate you intentionally ignore the fact that he started reaching for his side while the rear agent was probably 50 feet away.

The agent got closer at the end, but you claim LeVoy was reaching for the taser darts fired by that agent while he was clearly out of taser range.

Why?

The truck's rear end is right in the scene with both Finicum and the guy on the left.

The truck's rear end is just over 6 feet wide.

Have you never used a ruler?

I was generous on saying 12 feet. It's probably less.

People were claiming 50 feet. People were claiming no one near enough to use a Taser.

You yourself were arguing no one within 15 feet.

There's possible shooting going on by the other guy on the right at the same time.

Finicum may have been grabbing at a gunshot wound before he got Tased.

I'm not especially concerned about it. When the videos with sound show up, we'll be able to figure out which actions tie in with which motions by Finicum.

Of course -if the videos with sound DON'T show up, then the "he was drawing a gun!" crowd will win by default, because they can make any claim they want to, then.

I've seen some people claim that no shots were hitting the truck, when you can see the snow puffing, and the windows starring or cracking.
