I don’t much about this event. If one drives at high spped at a police road block isn’t general SOP for cops to fire on the vehicle speeding towards them? Real questions here.
As you said...you don’t know much about the event.
There are lots of reports that can be read, but they’re all pretty much from the lamestream media which makes Finicum the bad guy. He was unarmed. They essentially ambushed him & then shot him in the back. Just another crime against a conservative.
He stuck the truck after driving it off the road. He got out of the truck and distanced himself from the other occupants to avoid them getting hurt.
The cops claim he was reaching for a gun - but he was shot in the back as he was standing still, complying with orders. He was basically murdered. On camera.
He had permission to speak from a sheriff.
They let him bleed out, not even letting his daughter hold his hand.
He ran his truck into a snow bank, stopped and the OSP fired at the truck, hitting it.
Lavoy got out and had his hands up when he was shot in the back.
They then shot dozens of rounds into the truck, occupied by a woman, a 12 yr old girl and a man, all unarmed.
Lavoy did have a pistol in his jacket pocket.
If the police set a road block up around the corner on a curve on a road that they have shut down and know that it is the only route from where the person is departing to where they are going I would call it entrapment.

You seriously need to learn to NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ. I remember this KILLING clearly. There’s video out there both from drones and from inside LaVoy’s vehicle. You can do some limited search and find it. He had STOPPED HIS VEHICLE and, following orders, exited his vehicle. He did have a handgun on him but it was in his pocket and he wasn’t reaching for it. This stop was part of a planned assassination.
Watch the documentary series “LaVoy – Dead Man Talking” (https://www.centerforselfgovernance.com/films/), then you may be qualified to comment.
