Hands up, just shoot!
WND ^ | 27 Jan 2016 | Jeff Knox

Posted on 01/27/2016 7:06:46 PM PST by amorphous

The occupation of a remote wildlife refuge turned violent yesterday when federal agents stopped two vehicles carrying protesters to a town hall meeting in John Day, Oregon. Victoria Sharp, a passenger in one of those vehicles, has reported that federal agents opened fire on the group without provocation after conflicting and confusing demands for the protesters to surrender. Sharp reported that shots were first fired at Ryan Payne as he complied with orders to show his hands out of the window of the vehicle in which she was riding, but that the shots missed. Payne was calling for police to not shoot, as there were women in the vehicle, and exited the vehicle, asking that the women be allowed out.

At this point, LaVoy Finicum, one of the spokesmen for the occupiers, who was driving the vehicle in which Ms. Sharp was riding, yelled out the window that they were going to go talk to the sheriff (at the meeting in John Day), or that agents could just shoot him. He told the passengers to get down, and drove forward, precipitating heavy gunfire from the agents, and crashing the vehicle into a snowbank.

The daughter of LaVoy Finicum, the Oregon militiaman shot dead by police during a traffic stop on Highway 395 yesterday, claims that her father was "murdered" execution-style with his hands in the air, an account backed up by an eyewitness to the incident.

There will be a complete and utter whitewash of this horrible event.
Police will investigate police and advise there was no police wrongdoing.

Violent people with who don't want to work, who tear up cities, who flip and burn cars, who loot and terrorize cities, their lives matter.

Productive citizens engaged in peaceful civil disobedience in the woods, in the middle of winter...Not so much.

I hope there is video. There really needs to be, for sure.

By virtually all accounts there was not a mean bone in this man's body.
I find it difficult to believe...the father of lots of kids and grandfather to even more...wished to be involved in a senseless roadside gunfight.

Right is Wrong.

Left is Right.

Up is Down.

If you or I destroyed a police car worth $50,000 or $60,000 in Baltimore, we’d be doing 10-15 years plus restitution.

Please don't hold your breath. Those videos (if they exist) will never see the light of day if they have not been erased by now.
