He had a loaded 9mm in his jacket.

It was OSP officers who shot him, not FBI agents.

The video will be on the FBI's YouTube channel shortly.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Fish on...

I agree with this assessment 100%. A few fails by the LEO's though.

Failure to set up a safer road block. An 8,000lb vehicle moving at 60 mph will move other vehicles into you. Take cover elsewhere. That FBI guy chose a bad spot to be.

Shooting at a subject directly in between two officers, with both officers firing in the other's direction.

Fail by BTG:
Running
High rate of speed
Losing his cool
Not keeping his hands in plain sight

He, just like Michael Brown, was in charge of his actions, and those actions directly lead to his death. Period.

Sorry for his family. He sounds like he contributed a lot to society prior to these actions. It takes a man with a big heart to open his home up to as many foster kids as he did. He made a choice, and it was the wrong one.
