#1 Finicum didn't deserve the application of the death penalty.

Sounds very simmilar to what some were saying about Tamir Rice. Both tragic I spose but when someone reaches for their piece all expectations of de-escalation have been discarded - by the decedent. And don't forget Finicum was on record saying he was willing to die for his cause. Life ain't no fucking action movie where the marshall plucks the roscoe out of the bad guys hand. It's called deadly force for a reason.

#2 In the final analysis, the shooting by police appears to be legal, but was just a few notches less than justified, and so the involvement of the police ended there in the cold, snowy forests of Oregon. "Just following orders" and so, a man is dead.

I think that sums it up perfectly.
