... In order to help viewers see the crucial encounter more clearly, The Oregonian/OregonLive has slowed the video down and narrowed in on the confrontation when Finicum gets out of his vehicle at the roadblock.

1. With a gun in his hand (so it appears) he turned to the guy behind him.

8. I thought he actually had the gun in his hand but others are saying no. It is hard to be certain.

Either way, he was a stupid, vain man who didn't think anything about the consequences for his fellow 'voyagers' nor for his (so-called) foster children.

6. He sure didn't have his hands "up" when he was shot.

Except of course the one hand that was slightly "up" on its way to reach inside his jacket.

I wish he wouldn't have been killed, but I see a helluva lot more justification for a cop shooting in this situation than in the Tamir Rice or Laquan McDonald cases.

Almost anything can life can be related to a Mitch Hedberg joke.

Any time I hear a clip of one of his routines on the radio, I slow down and listen and smile.

There seems to be a couple blurs coming from the gun. Has it been reported that Finicum took any shots?
