During a traffic stop by police, militia member LaVoy Finicum fled from the scene in his truck. He crashed his vehicle to avoid a police roadblock, left his truck, and was shot dead by police. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks break it down.

“As state troopers trained their guns on Robert “LaVoy” Finicum along a secluded eastern Oregon highway, he reached twice for a pocket that police say contained a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.

That’s when they fatally shot Finicum, a video released Thursday by the FBI appears to show.

The federal agency played the video in an attempt to dispel rumors about the circumstances of Finicum’s death two days earlier as he and other leaders of the armed standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge were driving to a meeting.

Conflicting accounts of his shooting fueled outrage among supporters of the refuge occupiers and prompted the leader of a Northwest militia group to issue a call for members to report to Burns.”
