VIDEO: On the LaVoy Finicum/Oregon Law Enforcement Confrontation and Shooting

You are about to watch the confrontation, including “shots fired” at Mr.  LaVoy Finicum in Oregon on January 26th, 2016.  Many stories, including so-called “eye witnesses” have communicated versions of the incident leading to the death of Mr. Finicum of Mohave County, Arizona who had been protesting in Burn, Oregon the past five weeks.

The most recent “eye witness” account distributed nationally was reported by Victoria Sharp.  Ms. Sharp’s account is false.  The video below is taken from the FBI plane following the Finicum vehicle, and shows the shooting event as it occurred.  A massive campaign has been launched nationally depicting Mr. Finicum as innocent and shot without provocation by the FBI.

As you will see (go to full screen) Mr. Finicum exits his vehicle upon hitting a snow bank attempting to avoid a police roadblock.  While there is no sound, and having been a police officer myself, I have to think commands were given to Mr. Finicum as he came to the rear of his vehicle.  As you will see, Mr. Fincium reaches into the left side of his coat making a clear gesture that he may be going for a weapon.

Shots were then fired by Oregon State Police, not by the FBI.

UPDATE: On day before his death, Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum spoke about potential encounters with government authorities:
