He was acting very strange and does appear to reach under his jacket as he was returning to the car? I stand corrected for now.
N.O. Monuments "If not moved before Mardi Gras it won’t be an issue. No one will say anything, because no one really cares.”

A judge ruled Tuesday that New Orleans can move forward with plans to take down its storied Confederate monuments, but the job is big, and won't be easy.
The City Council voted last month to take down public statues honoring Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, P.G.T Beauregard and a white militia group, months after a racially-charged mass shooting in South Carolina touched off a national debate over Confederate symbols.
Historians and preservationists balked, saying the iconic monuments are part of the city's past, but a federal judge's denial of their bid for an injunction means the markers can come down.

Malheur SITREP – 0400L 28 JAN 16
Via Michael Downing via NCR
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.
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.)
Best comment on Cliven Bundy: FBI Murdered Oregon Militia Member L...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.

Malheur: Santilli’s broadcasts helped FBI bring conspiracy charges

As the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon dragged on for most of January, local law enforcement was spread thin and federal agents were nowhere to be seen.
Behind the quiet facade, however, the FBI was running surveillance on the occupation and recording the activists’ public statements, mostly drawn from media reports and the activists' use of social media, while FBI agents encouraged locals to report their experiences with the new strangers in town.

"They shot him dead."
First-hand, eyewitness audio testimony of one person's
perspective on what happened to LaVoy Finicum on January 26, 2016. The
witness you're going to hear was in the car with LaVoy, Ryan Payne, Ryan
Bundy, and Shawna Cox.
