Oregon: Ammon Bundy, others arrested; LaVoy Finicum killed - CNN.com

I was kind of wondering what happen to the right to assemble in this country when the police seems to think it can shoot anyone it wants. We all assume that the police office was acting in self defense but we don't know that for sure and consider the numerous cases of kill happy federal officers (ruby ridge) in this country we may want to question whether or not the officer was acting in self-defense.

Mess with the bulls and you are gonna get the horn! How difficult is that concept? Where is there another country that would have allowed this to go on for as long as this did? Stupid cannot be fixed! Yes, even the law likes to go home in the evening.

Take it up with the Washington Post. They, among a long list of others, documented it as one of the biggest lies of the year.

‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ did not happen in Ferguson​

"Now that it is OK to kill innocent protestors..."

No, criminal suspects subject to lawful arrest who resist arrest are solely responsible for the consequences.

Hmmm you guys sure have changed your tune since the Michael Brown thingy.

He should have stayed under his tarp.

LaVoy Finicum — the Oregon militant beneath the blue tarp — killed in police shootout

In January 1791, President George Washington's Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton proposed a seemingly innocuous excise tax "upon spirits distilled within the United States, and for appropriating the same."1 What Congress failed to predict was the vehement rejection of this tax by Americans living on the frontier of Western Pennsylvania. By 1794, the Whiskey Rebellion threatened the stability of the nascent United States and forced President Washington to personally lead the United States militia westward to stop the rebels.
By 1791 the United States suffered from significant debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. Secretary Hamilton, a Federalist supporting increased federal authority, intended to use the excise tax to lessen this financial burden. Despite resistance from Anti-Federalists like Thomas Jefferson, Congress passed the legislation. When news of the tax spread to Western Pennsylvania, individuals immediately voiced their displeasure by refusing to pay the tax. Residents viewed this tax as yet another instance of unfair policies dictated by the eastern elite that negatively affected American citizens on the frontier.
Western farmers felt the tax was an abuse of federal authority wrongly targeting a demographic that relied on crops such as corn, rye, and grain to earn a profit. However, shipping this harvest east was dangerous because of poor storage and dangerous roads. As a result, farmers frequently distilled their grain into liquor which was easier to ship and preserve. While large-scale farmers easily incurred the financial strain of an additional tax, indigent farmers were less able to do so without falling into dire financial straits.
President Washington sought to resolve this dispute peacefully. In 1792, he issued a national proclamation admonishing westerners for their resistance to the "operation of the laws of the United States for raising revenue upon spirits distilled within the same."2 However, by 1794 the protests became violent. In July, nearly 400 whiskey rebels near Pittsburgh set fire to the home of John Neville, the regional tax collection supervisor. Left with little recourse and at the urgings of Secretary Hamilton, Washington organized a militia force of 12,950 men and led them towards Western Pennsylvania, warning locals "not to abet, aid, or comfort the Insurgents aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their peril."3

The calling of the militia had the desired effect of essentially ending the Whiskey Rebellion. By the time the militia reached Pittsburgh, the rebels had dispersed and could not be found. The militia apprehended approximately 150 men and tried them for treason. A paucity of evidence and the inability to obtain witnesses hampered the trials. Two men, John Mitchell and Philip Weigel, were found guilty of treason, though both were pardoned by President Washington. By 1802, then President Thomas Jefferson repealed the excise tax on whiskey. Under the eye of President Washington, the nascent United States survived the first true challenge to federal authority.

The OP title is inflammatory with no info or facts to support it.

Well, he has a different definition for the word "innocent".

[bodecea]

Move along, he was white and full of white privilege, nothing to see here

So these guys are armed & trespassing on someone else's land.

I am sure if they were another color you think the cops would have said that is OK...

History isn't your strong subject?

Why would I? The post wasnt there on the scene as it happened.

[Camp]

I thought they only killed one of the terrorists. Who was the innocent protester that got shot? Was it one of the citizens protesting the refuge being occupied by the terrorist?
