LaVoy Finicum wasn't murdered. He fled from police/resisted arrest, evaded a road block, and reached for his waistband where he kept his loaded pistol at least twice when police tried to apprehend him -- all after declaring publicly that he'd die before spending a day in jail. It was clearly a justifiable homicide, in my opinion.
Likewise, if I steal a car, get pulled over, tell the police I'd rather die than go to jail, speed off, get corned by police down the road, get out of the car, reach for my waistband when confronted by police, and get shot when reaching for my waistband again........I didn't get shot because I stole a car. I got shot because I resisted arrest and posed an armed threat to LE lives. That's what it boils down to.
