I also want to point out I have come back at you several times with definitions, examples and sources. You have done nothing but say "nuh uh". It's kind of pathetic and I expected more out of a representative of law enforcement.
Since that initial contact occurred there was no ambush as he knew law enforcement was trying to stop and arrest him.

I think it's very obvious that wasn't an insult, but an observation. You didn't even know what a Flanking Ambush (Pincer Ambush) was and had to google it. You've wandered into a discussion you are ineptly qualified for.
But there was both of y'alls "NUH UH" again with absolutely no substantive material to back up your idea.
Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

Move on please.
Sure it was an ambush, a legal one set up for the safety of the officers.
Lavoy was not murdered. His actions produced the outcome.
ambush

roadblock
1 a : a barricade often with traps or mines for holding up an enemy at a point on a road covered by fire b : a road barricade set up especially by law enforcement officers
2 : an obstruction in a road
3 : something that blocks progress or prevents accomplishment of an objective

If it's so simple then why are you two so confused about what does and does not constitute an ambush?
Edit: This argument works just as well for you:
Sure it was an ambush, a legal one set up for the safety of the officers.
Lavoy was not murdered. His actions produced the outcome.
They were not hidden when he tried to go around the roadblock.
Pincer Ambush, ok so I haven't heard of it, whats your point??

Oh boy. So I show you a video of a pincer ambush and you are still sticking to "not an ambush because I said so". Your style of argument is weak and then to pull a logical fallacy for bias confirmation? "This other incorrect person agrees with me so I am sticking to my guns". That dude DIDN'T EVEN KNOW what a Pincer Ambush was yet you are looking to him for bias confirmation??
And more lies. Nowhere does any agency say it is not an ambush because they know they can't say that. They use the term road block because that covers all of it and it sounds less nefarious. But by all means, if you have a link to a law enforcement agency saying this wasn't a flanking ambush then please link to that. I don't think the term ambush has any nefarious connotation. It's a tactic, not a derogatory term. It's just a noun (or a verb) and nothing more.

The point is you've now been shown what a Pincer Ambush is yet you still deny that an ambush happened. You've chosen to side with X because he is in law enforcement so you thought he was right. In this case though, X is blatantly wrong. In pointing that out you both have become angry with me and have turned stubborn out of spite. The best thing you could have done was accepted the education and just moved on. It's OK to be wrong occasionally.
