The dude who died was (a) part of a group that was allowed to take over a federal building, (b) decided to be part of a smaller group to go on a little trip, © that smaller group was cornered on the road by a joint operation of FBI and Oregon State Police, (d) then he swore that he would die rather than be arrested. He attempted to run, and he told the officers to shoot them. All of the other people he was traveling with gave themselves up peacefully. Obviously his decision to run and die says more about him than it does about FBI tactics on that day.

none of those four things are immediately relevant to what's going on in Portland, because nothing like that has been allowed to happen, yet.

All I'm saying is that there is precedent to allow protesters to have the building they want, and then more or less lock them in it.

Interesting take you have here.  Caucasian man resist arrest and runs and it is on him.  Rayshard Brooks did the same thing and it was police brutality.

That's fair.  Sort of.  The situations are close, except, Brooks was running away and shot in the back.
Finicum was standing still, facing the men who shot him, and reaching for a weapon.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
