There are a lot of errors in the video with the guy with the whiny. There were three guns in the truck and Finicum did have a gun in his pocket. The guy said they were not armed. I quit listening at that point due to a lack of credibility and his whiny voice.
Despite the ill advised actions of these protesters and the whiny guy was wrong on a few points, I think the fact that police could have waited these guys out but didn't and also Oregon governor was pushing for action to be taken and it was (they forced the issue, creating this scenario instead of a little more patience), points to the fact it could have been handled differently. Just a little more psyops for a little longer and they would have given up. The protesters were not very organized and the whole protest was not very well thought out. The police always had the advantage but I guess the po po's operating budget/politicians patience is more important than a human life.
Kinda of like pushing a suicidal jumper off the roof instead of trying to talk him down.
