Video Shows the Final Moments of Oregon Militiaman Killed by Police – Video

LaVoy Finicum was part of the militia that criminally occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a federal building in Oregon. He was later killed in a highway confrontation with police when he refused to exit the vehicle as instructed by police.

The video itself isn’t graphic, though it does depict a fatal shootout: After being pulled over for his role in the criminal occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Finicum refuses to leave his vehicle as instructed. Instead, he shouts, over and over, that he would rather die: “You can go ahead and shoot me! Put the laser right there, put the bullet through the head!”

He then shouts that the situation is “gonna get real” and that the cops will “have my blood on your hands.” After a lot more yelling to this effect, Finicum guns the car in an attempt to flee the police—only to be stopped at a roadblock, which forces him to veer into the snow and, finally, leave the car. As he steps out of the vehicle, he clearly yells, “Go ahead and shoot me!”
