Good question and comment.

The guy in the back seat in the video was an FBI informant who had told the feds where LaVoy was going and what he was going to present to the Sheriff. They had set up road blocks up ahead with agents in the woods hiding behind trees and then came up behind him in unmarked vehicles. When LaVoy saw the flashing lights behind him he stopped but the agents for several minutes never said anything, they never once said this is the police or FBI or identified themselves in any way nor gave any instruction in anyway (this information is from interviews with the woman and 16 year old girl survivors of the ordeal). No identification no instructions until they asked if the women wanted to get out of the vehicle and then the exchange began. The FBI informant yelled out identify yourselves. According to interviews a shot was fired and Finicum started driving again, the Feds followed chase until LaVoy ran into the road block and swerved into the snow to not hit the vehicles blocking the road. LaVoy then immediately jumped out of the truck unarmed with hands in the air to draw any potential fire away from the woman and child in the truck.

He was immediately shot in the left side of his abdomen/rib area which is why you see his hands go down and towards the left side of his body, he was then shot by the agent who came out from behind the trees multiple times and after he was on the ground has arm moved slightly and was shot again by multiple rounds which killed him.

That's fucked up and yet I'm not at all surprised. It's just another day for those corrupt fucks. The video makes it pretty clear now that I have some context. Thanks for taking the time to clarify.
