Facebook is law enforcement's greatest invention. This Finicum wrote a book about his cowboy freedom, he wore a gun on his hip and he loudly proclaimed to everyone his bumper sticker philosophy about how they could have his gun when they pry it from his cold dead hand. I doubt that anyone with that attitude is going to pleasantly go out on his knees with his hands up. I also think that if these law enforcement officers were interested in going in to shoot first and clear out the whole park in a hail of bullets, they would not have waited and done the traffic stop in a way designed to avoid gunfire. This guy wanted to be a martyr and he committed suicide by cop to give every like minded pseudo patriot that hates our government a flash point. Can you honestly believe that if this guy was really the man he said he was that he would lose all credibility if he was easily cuffed and jailed?
