As I have previously stated, the truck was either mostly or completely off of the road when the ignorant cop jumped out from behind his blocking vehicle. What part of believing what the video actually shows do you refuse to accept? Only the obvious parts?

I was responding to spy66 so that he could clarify his point [which you have completely missed] as he was speaking of an event later in the timeline. I do not have a problem with the video as it shows what it shows. We do not know the reasons why the officer moved from behind his vehicle in your example. He may have thought that the truck would bog down much sooner than it did. People full of adrenaline do not behave like those rehashing events days and weeks later. Look at Finicum running in circles desperately looking for an escape route before deciding to force the issue.

Crash? Why do you say that? My bet is that he was trying to go around the roadblock and made a decision to try.

Clearly obvious that there was more than just the one stupid cop jumping from behind the blocking vehicle. So now there are 2 stupid cops present.

This Whole roadblock was a distaster...the troopers and CIA didnt have controll at all. Or they did have full controll because the intention was to presure him just enought so that they could have a reason to kill him.

You presume to know Finicum is running around in circles trying to find an escape route but absolutely refute my opinion of what the cop's movements indicate. You evidently hold others to a double standard that only you have the psychic abilities of knowing precisely what the participants actions and intentions are. I call a foul here.

Decision my a$$.... Lavoy Finicum had no time to decide.... it was a hidden road block. The other stuff you said is just nonsense...
I wonder sometimes who defends these government goons and murderers.... are they blind?
Clearly Lavoy Finicum was murdered... did you not see the video?
A random checkpoint (also known as a "flying checkpoint", "mobile checkpoint" or "hasty checkpoint") is a military and police tactic involving the setup of a hasty roadblock primarily by mobile truck-mounted infantry or police units in order to disrupt unauthorized or unwanted movement or military activity.[1]
Random checkpoints are set up to achieve surprise, as opposed to known permanently located manned checkpoints. They might be established in locations where they cannot be observed by approaching traffic until it is too late to withdraw and escape without being observed.[2]

He had no time to decide? Of course he did, or he would have hit the roadblock. What would you have done?

Clearly, LaVoy ran around in circles taunting the officers, went for his pocket pistol, and got himself clipped.

Last minute surprises like a hidden road block would require biological triggers before making a proper decision... so yeah, your question is pointless as I can not predict what I would do.

Why don't you stick your hands up, while I shoot bullets around your feet... and lets see how well you dance.

"Biological triggers before making a proper decision?" Does anyone believe the things you say?
So you have evidence of officers shooting bullets around his feet while he is running around. Do you even believe the things you say?

Oh look, yet another made up story! first we had him dragged out of the car and executed, then we had a stolen handgun planted on him, now we have police shooting around his feet!
No evidence for any of those claims, but as we have seen when there is no evidence some people here will just make crap up!

Actually, it looks fine. Nutter runs away from police, crash their car, exit the vehicle and then keeps reaching for a gun. The police then shot them. What doesn't look good about that?

First of all the type of roadblock that they chose is clasified as use of leathal force.
Why did the FBI let him go when they had him stopped?

Care to show the exact legislation where that is stated?

Any evidence that they were FBI? Any at all?
