1. Said many times on tape "I will kill any LEO that tries to arrest me" Wanted death over jail.

Fled first traffic stop afte sitting there for almost five minutes. Tried to go around blockade and got stuck in a snowbank.

Did not remain in car, instead got out w hands up initially then reached his hand down inside his jacket for his 9mm

Unsuprisingly, LEO's shot him. Self fulfilling prophecy?

Oh, and did all this while he was part of an illegal armed occupation attempting to overthrow the federal govt

2. Compare and contrast

White terrorist gets his death wish, full police video of encounter released within a week.

Black boy gunned down by police while playing in the park, video kept under wraps for months.

Friends and relatives of white victim express outrage, make up stories, non-witness accounts given instant credence in the popular media, reprisals against authorities threatened.

Friends and relatives of black victim counseled by authorities to remain calm, not rush to judgment, threatened with jail for demanding answers.

Anybody notice which lives seem to matter to the authorities and the media?

4. Looks like the FBI got this one right.

Drives away from police, tries to run a roadblock, almost runs over a cop. Then reaches for his gun, it looks like twice. I don't see that the FBI had any choice.
