All three shots from behind Mr. Finicum. The shooters were not shooting in fear of a drawn weapon, as they were shooting from rifle positions at a distance (no threat if a handgun was produced, by an average shooter, even an expert shooter). The killing shot came from another angle, entering right lower back and coursing upwards, taking out the top of the kidney, perforating the diaphragm and the lower lobe of the right lung, then going through the right ventricle (lower part of the heart, right side) and exiting near the left nipple. Two shots to the upper left and one the lower right back. These were not intended to disable— they were to kill. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Along with the new split screen video (fbi aerial and one recorded by a phone inside the vehicle— can hear the shots as they were made, and further, that the police continued to shoot into the doors and windows of the SUV, without knowing the presence of a young girl and two other occupants (afa is known, unarmed). This was indeed, as the report says-—”homicide”. Was this, in any way justified? It was no doubt judicially approved, but justified?

But there were LEO’s near him who would have been threatened. One big reason they probably didn’t shoot was they didn’t have a clear line beyond the target.
They knew exactly who was in the vehicle and they were trying to kill them. If they had we never would have seen Shawna Cox’s video.
