Tensions came to a head last night as authorities and militia members were involved in a shooting during a traffic stop. Eight militia members have been arrested and one is confirmed dead. After police shot and killed one of the militia members and arrested of eight of their comrades, the remaining members are threatening a “bloodbath” if the F.B.I. moves in on them. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola hosts of The Young Turks break it down.

Do you think the authorities handled this situation the right way? Let us know in the comments below.

“Oregon standoff spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was killed and other leaders of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation were arrested Tuesday after the FBI and state police stopped vehicles about 20 miles north of Burns.

Authorities did not release the name of the person who died at the highway stop, but Finicum’s daughter confirmed it was Finicum, 55, of Cane Beds, Arizona, one of the cowboy-hat wearing faces of the takeover.

“My dad was such a good good man, through and through,” said Arianna Finicum Brown, 26, one of Finicum’s 11 children. “He would never ever want to hurt somebody, but he does believe in defending freedom and he knew the risks involved.”
