FBI Release Oregon Video Footage Depicting Death of Robert Lavoy Finicum – But Questions Remain

21st Century Wire says..
UPDATE 1-29-2016 at 01:30PM ET: Due to public pressure and intense speculation about the events of Tuesday brought on by a YouTube recording of the testimony of key eyewitness Victoria Sharp, the FBI has released the unedited aerial video footage from Tuesday evening’s incident which took place along Highway 395.
According to the official FBI statement: ‘We feel that it is necessary to show the whole thing unedited in the interest of transparency.’
The FBI video entitled, ‘Complete, Unedited Video of Joint FBI and OSP Operation 01/26/2016′, does show the victim Lavoy Finicum exiting the truck awkwardly in at least two feet of snow, and he clearly does not ‘charge towards’ the SWAT team, and his hands are clearly held high above his head as he exits his truck when confronted by a SWAT team, before being shot multiple times by marksmen and falling in the snow. Also, the scale and size of this operation is very evident by the footage, and the apprehension of the protesters was not the result of a mere ‘traffic stop’ as it was wrongly characterized in multiple mainstream media reports.
