Well, I can't agree with that after examining the video a lot more.
My belief is that it was a cascade systems failure funneling LaVoy Finicum to his death. He was man enough to get away from the women after burying the truck in the snow, and probably saved their lives.
The shots fired at the first roadblock led to the poorly chosen second roadblock, where the sudden appearance of Finicum's truck, at a high rate of speed [even though they'd probably been warned], threw the scene into an uproar.
Jeff's conclusion that he was a dead man at that point seems to be correct.
The only thing that remains is for the family to acquire the videos with sound, and sort out the responsibilities at the first and second roadblocks.
Also, he may have set his family up for life, with the help of the government, of course.
