If you have to ask you haven't been paying attention.

His right hand is reaching over to his left side. He got shot, as he should have. Don't play stupid games.

It's amazing how so many are uninformed this long after this has happened and how much more information has been published. They DID stop before the roadblock. That is where Ryan stuck his hands and head out the window to try to talk to them and he was shot at. LaVoy shouted out his own window several times telling them they were on the way to see the sheriff. Ryan jumped out of the truck telling them there was women in the truck. The women didn't want to get out and LaVoy took off and Ryan was arrested. (which Ryan I keep forgetting)

The rest has been explained as well, even by both of the women in the truck. Imagine that.

Rather than being snarky why don't you answer the question. No need to be rude.

Can I sucker punch you in the face and you not blink? If you get shot you are going to grab that area. That is what he was doing. Go back to writing tickets.

Yes so many are uninformed....oh what was his name again I forgot?

He knew what he was getting into and welcomed it. Suicide by cop is what I see. Don't try to martyr this idiot.

The positions of the police look a whole lot like an ambush to me.
I've NEVER seen a roadblock where the police set up firing positions from the high ground and from such a distance.
2:44 had it right. He wasn't "reaching for a weapon" --- he was grabbing at his left side because that's where they shot him (while he had his hands up).
Shot in the back, too, and shot when he was laying on the ground.
Further, a cop steps in front of the moving vehicle and shoots at the driver (!) (was the driver shooting at him ,or did the cop, knowing it was an ambush, just go ahead an jump out firing???).
Now, if you jump in front of my moving car and get hit, it is probably because you stupidly jumped in front of a moving 3500lb object.
In doing so, you don't get to claim someone "tried to run me over" and, being afraid -- all the time --- you HAD to shoot.
I would respect a statement like "he had threatened to shoot the police, was considered dangerous, and we did what we had to do".
I CANNOT respect "it was a traffic stop and don't pay any attention to what your lying eyes might think you saw."
"We, the people" are getting tired of the "police story" that contradicts FILM evidence. They were waiting for him, it was an ambush, and they did exactly what they intended to do.
I wouldn't want to be a game warden or a cop driving on a lonely road out in that part of the country now. The people in the rural West aren't that friendly with the government as it is and this didn't make them any new friends, either.
The wheels continue to turn.
Keep cheering.

You are watching a highly edited and scripted version of what went down. The unedited version of the ENTIRE event released by the FBI, without any added suggestions of what was happening, is much clearer as to what was happening than this hypothetical edited version by the perps. This version is a fairy tale.

Exactly 3:06! I should sit down and add some more pewpewpew's in there for more effect. Maybe have a dragon swoop in... the possibilities are endless! But, the cop haters above don't want to hear that narrative... nope, just rogue cops taking out an innocent man. If LaVoy was black, or hispanic, we'd have 50 comments from the "CHEERleaders".

The helicopter was following him and radioed ahead.

I think you have a reading comprehension problem, or you chose the wrong timestamp. 306 aka Imclain supports the narrative of unknown and the video.

From this video, it does appear to be the L as well as an ambush. Doesn't appear - it was an ambush. Set up and executed with precision. So much for any lessons learned at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Anonymous said...

So the cops used a tactical L, therefore it was an ambush. They also use cover and concealment, so it was a super dooper ambush right? Lol. Of course they are going to us tactics to stay safe. Nobody walks into a possible fire fight and says " this should be even so it's fair."

both vehicles stopped initially. when leo's started shooting without provocation he took off again.

lavoy showed more restraint than I would have. I would have fired back IF I was armed that is.

well if all that is true and you listened to all the interviews from people inside the truck, you are either very stupid or you have an agenda. Which is it?

They also set up the road block on a slight curve with snow piled high on each side. Chances are he didn't see the road block until it was too late.

this is the from the full video. it is just showing the murder of lavoy you idiot. you see the same things on this video as you would the 'full' one on youtube, except for the markings to help people like you follow along, which obviously is not working. you will never be a lawyer or a judge, thank god, but you probably can still remain a dumb cop.

you will probably even get promoted.

Anonymous said...

gee, I wonder why lavoy was trying to turn and run if he wanted to do combat or suicide by cop. but I'm sure some dumb cop will dream up yet another explanation, apart from reality of course

It's disturbingly depressing to know these ISIS clones actually feel they're helping our society. When in reality they are supporting the destruction of the nation their ancestors designed, built, defended and died for.

The criminals in the car have every reason to lie. They were just on their way to volunteer at the soup kitchen when the mean men shot their buddy for no reason.

Where are the dashboard cameras from the police cars? If the police are innocent why have they not released them. Also the guy that is labeled as the first shooter in this video, if Lavoy was armed why does he turn his back on him (after he shoots him) If he was indeed armed he would NOT have turned his back on him. He also looks like he is wearing military camo.

I find it hard to believe that you idiot kops on here really think you can convince people that this was anything less than a premeditated execution. Do you think that if you say it long and often enough, we are all going to believe the lie? Your're not dealing with ignorant obama voters here, your're dealing with thinking people who know right from wrong. I was starting to feel a little sympathy for you guys after all the accusations of racism every time someone who isn't white gets shot, but after reading all these stupid nonsensical excuses offered up in defense of your brothers I now remember why no one can trust a kop anymore. You all have problems now, but it is only going to get worse. Every time something like this happens and you all jump to the defense of the murderers instead of standing up for what is right, you undermine the credibility and integrity of your uniform a little more. Pretty soon there will be none left and you will be just another group of forgotten disenfranchised helpless victims on the street like the rest of us, and the irony will be that you brought it on yourselves by defending the indefensible.

At 9:17-I guess you were too busy making excuses to see the idiot little kop with a god complex jump right into the path of an out of control oncoming vehicle. He should have been killed for being stupid. Back to your first moot point-I don't know which video you saw, but the one I saw showed a man clutching his side after being ambushed and shot by a little punk kop probably looking for his first kill. Then the other murderer shot him in the back and the head just to make sure that anybody else who might question corrupt authority would think twice before standing up against the machine. Make all the excuses you want, but this was obviously murder and anybody who doesn't have an agenda can see it. I would say look again, but it won't do any good. Brotherly love trumps reality every time, doesn't it?
