The SWAT members shot were executing a NO KNOCK and didn get permission. They got what they deserved.

In the United States, a no-knock warrant is a warrant issued by a judge that allows law enforcement officers to enter a property without immediate prior notification of the residents, such as by knocking or ringing a doorbell. In most cases, law enforcement will identify themselves just before they forcefully enter the property. It is issued under the belief that any evidence they hope to find can be destroyed during the time that police identify themselves and the time they secure the area, or in the event where there is a large perceived threat to officer safety during the execution of the warrant.

Who died and made YOU mod?
You are a poor representative of LE. What a rotten know-it-all attitude.
I don't think Finicum expected LE would be so stupid as to shoot him. Obviously he was wrong.

We don't really know what he was doing nor will we. LE will state unequivocally, of course, that he was reaching. Only LaVoy knew the truth and that's literally become a dead end.
May he rest in peace.

Whats bad is I already linked th e proof of th e Texas man but conveniently he forgets i already posted it. so why post links if hes not gonna look or read them i ask?
Anyway back on OP. The autopsy report released recently sstates most shots came from th eback. so th ecops in front of finicum didnt shoot him. it was a officer from behind . A tactical mistake and no no to shoot when others on th e other side could be hit.
Finicum resisted arrest, assaulted police officers, refused commands to surrender, and attempted to draw a weapon.
He was killed for this series of behaviors he himself chose. Period.

Resisted arrest? Did he wrestle with LE?
Assaulted police officers? Did he physically put his hands on them?
Attempted to draw a weapon? Did you see it happen?

We all saw the video where he kept reaching for the pocket where he had a gun, but some people want to ignore that fact!

We only have one side of the story. The guy who could have told us the other side was murdered.

I watched that video a couple of times. Anyone who says they can see clearly exactly what he was doing is a liar.
And the cold hard facts are that Finicum died a criminal not a hero.
