Malicious intent to harm passengers in Finicum truck by Oregon and Federal officials
Upon sticking his unarmed hands out of the window, Ryan Paine attempted to communicate with individuals who had caused the stop and was immediately met by a gunshot which hit the side view mirror.
Because of a "shoot now, ask questions later" intent by the shooters, the driver, LaVoy Finicum decided to try and reach the town of John Day, seeking intervention from the local sheriff.
A few miles ahead, they met a roadblock and were again detained in a deep snowbank. Shots were fired at the truck from the beginning and even after LaVoy was neutralized, multiple shots were fired at the truck, which was stuck in the snow.
Shots continued at the truck for several minutes until the screams of the passengers caused a pause. A lethal, metal bullet lodged in Ryan Bundy's shoulder, not a rubber bullet.
The acts of the shooters manifest a wanton disregard for the life and welfare of the passengers who were trapped in a disabled vehicle. The shooters had no idea who the passengers were, what their intent was or if they had been killed or injured. No passenger brandished a gun nor shouted any threats, rather they pleaded for mercy and for cessation of the shooting.
Law enforcement manuals and court cases across the nation severely condemn unnecessary and excessive force when passengers are present and when there is no threat of harm to the officer(s). Even when a vehicle is still operable and/or still moving, most courts do not approve of shooting at passengers.
In this case, the driver was down, the car disabled and the passengers showed not even a hint of threat to anybody. Nevertheless, the vehicle was blasted with a barrage of lethal bullets. If the American people were to allow such behavior without severe punishment to the offenders, a new precedent would be established that puts all of our lives in danger as more law enforcement are emboldened by their immunity from punishment.
We call on Governor Kate Brown, FBI Director James B. Comey and other state and federal authorities to:
1. Protect all evidence from spoilation and tampering
2. Investigate the forensic evidence
3. Release all videos and audio recordings of the incident including that of the passengers
4. Punish the offenders, including those in charge, with the maximum penalties the law allows.

Wake up sheeple. Kate Brown is also a corporate criminal and the evidence and proof of this is very much available. You may as well be petitioning the monkey guarding the banana plantation. All those that are condoning and supporting the continued harm to these Americans should also be held accountable including all the foreign agent BAR attorneys, (esquires) and black robbed devils. Where the hell are all these so called oath keepers and American patriots? Doesn't look like we really have a military let alone any reality of real justice.
