What was the guy doing in the woods? It was an ambush. I can't tell who the shooter was. It looks like the man coming out I'd the woods may have tasered Lavoy. He had something in his left hand.
An ambush? Really???
The police tried to stop him several miles down the road, and had him stopped for what, nearly ten minutes before he obviously decided to make a run for it. It seems to me the police prepared for that possibility and were set up with a roadblock down the road.
Everybody in that vehicle had ample opportunity to give up and chose not to do so. Additionally, we've all seen hundreds of pictures of Finicum over the past few weeks. I may be wrong, but I don't recall a single photo of the man in which he wasn't carrying a gun. Why would you then assume he was unarmed during the attempted traffic stop?
Finicum has also been very vocal that he'd die before he'd spend time in prison. With apologies to all of you cop haters and Finicum worshipers, it looks to me like the man was true to his word...
