Additionally, we need to ask why non-lethal/less-lethal means weren’t used in order to subdue LaVoy, especially if his hands remained up.)

Makes zero difference if a weapon wasn't visible since even if he was charging the squad? of cops, he wasn't armed and they obvious could have used tasers.
The cop who came to my door was attacked by a neighbor's large German Shepherd, calmly maced him and he would have been more of a danger that the 55 year old unarmed man charging? a group of heavily armed men. Unless they are pussies, then they chose to kill him.

This is how much the overton window has shifted. We are discussing whether the police state is justified in shooting to death an unarmed man whose crime was standing up to tyranny.

*****************************

It’s been a very long 36 hours since yesterday’s events began unfolding. Avoidable tragedy struck Tuesday afternoon when LaVoy Finicum was shot and killed. Since then, there have been at least four different accounts of what happened. We’ve seen wild and inaccurate speculation about what’s going on at the Refuge, which has been contradictory to on the ground reporting.

In these times, we need to focus on discerning facts from opinions, and separate what’s more likely to be true from what’s less likely to be true through a structured process. What follows is my personal account of following the situation, including talks with sources on the ground and on conference calls with Sergeant Major Joseph Santoro (U.S.A., Ret.), Stewart Rhodes, State Representative Matthew Shea (R-WA), Jason Van Tatenhove, and others.

Here’s what we know.
