Yes, I have watched the video. The people inside the vehicle were scared out of their wits, laser sights were being flashed all over the inside of the vehicle, while random shots were being fired at the vehicle they were seeking cover in.

A man had just been shot down in front of them and you think they should have just climbed out of the vehicle while being shot at?

You are a fool and a statist enabler.

Also, you make a claim that cannot be supported by the video. Finicum could just as easily have been grabbing for where he had just been shot.

“Finicum could just as easily have been grabbing for where he had just been shot.”

The gunshot audio comes after.

No, there was no shot just before he turned toward his gun. No shot was heard between the two that were shot immediately as he exited the vehicle, neither of which hit him, until 12 seconds later when he turned the 2nd time to reach inside his coat.

The people in the vehicle were not in danger as long as they didn’t attempt to fire on the officers, who were (at that point) using non-lethal rounds only. You’ll notice that the vehicle’s occupants never yelled out to the officers and said anything like “we give up. We want to surrender.” The first time that anyone said anything like that was at the 10:45 mark of the synced video, and as soon as they heard that, the cops IMMEDIATELY told them to come out the left side door with their hands up, which they did, one by one. Each one who followed the instructions of the officers was taken into custody without incident.
