Now, when Finicum first drops his hands to a level where there may be a weapon, the guy on the right's weapon is 18-20 feet away from Finicum (arm braced and extended, and he appears to have planted his feet solidly).

Maybe so, but not relevant to your claim that the guy behind LeVoy Tased him in the back.

At 9:29 in the CTH video LeVoy is reaching to his side. The agent behind him is out of the frame, at least 30 feet away and still behind a tree, and you claim that he had already Tased LeVoy.

Not plausible.

I was referring to where Finicum appears to grab at his back while turning toward the guy on the left.

I wasn't referring to when he first drops his hands, now that I review the video.

Neither you nor I are guiltless of making casual observations in this matter. :)

The difference between 50 feet and 30 feet is a long way in handgun shooting and Tasering.

Once again, when we get the sound, it will sort a lot of this out.
