Assassination of LaVoy Finicum Courage In The Line of Fire

He was obviously attemtping to draw the government's fire away from the passengers in his truck. After all, he had already been shot at four times when his truck came to a stop in the snow beside the roadblock, and then was shot at two more times when he opened the door and stepped out of the truck with his hands up. Six times, by that point, LaVoy had been shot at, and he knew the cops wanted to kill him, yet he still never put a gun in his hand to defend himself. Instead he walked through the deep snow as quickly as he could to force the shooting cops to aim away from his truck, in which the male passenger already had been shot through the roof by an FBI sniper, and there were two ladies in the back seat of his pickup truck.
