You make this guy out to sound like he was assassinated.  That he was a victim of police injustice.  This guy was armed, had illegally taken over public land, and had vowed not to be taken alive.  When you carry a gun and challenge the police, you put yourself at risk for bodily harm. This guy wasn't some young kid.  He knew that what he was doing had risks and consequences, and he knowingly took that risk.  I'm tired of people blaming our police for doing their job. The overwhelming number of police out there are decent, family men and women who are constantly putting themselves in harms way to protect society from all sorts of criminals.  And they often pay with their lives.  It's ashame that Finicum got shot. He ought to be in jail facing charges like the rest of them.  You can second guess police all day long that they should have done this or should have done that. Stop blaming the police for what happened. Bundy and the lot of them need to take responsibility for their actions.
