Finicum Family Protests FBI’s ‘Bravery’ Medals for Agents Involved in LaVoy Finicum’s Death

Following the crimes of the FBI against innocent Americans and the murder of LaVoy Finicum back on January 26, 2016, the new FBI director, Kash Patel, decided to add insult to injury and award bravery medals to the cowards of the FBI who killed him.  However, the Finicum family is loudly protesting these “coward” medals and those who received them, and rightfully so.

The Liberty Sentinel reports:

The family of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum is speaking out after the FBI awarded Medals of Bravery to members of its Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) who were involved in the January 26, 2016 operation in Harney County, Oregon, that ended in his death.

LaVoy’s widow, twelve children, and forty-five grandchildren say the FBI’s official citation contains false information, including claims that he rammed a federal vehicle, pinned an agent, and was headed to a “clandestine meeting.” In reality, he was on his way to a publicly announced town hall meeting.

“The government is honoring men while ignoring the unresolved questions of our father’s death,” the family said. “He was shot in the back three times, fired upon with his hands raised, and his truck — with women inside — was riddled with bullets. Evidence was mishandled, and he was labeled a ‘Domestic Terrorist’ without trial or due process. To call this bravery dishonors truth and justice.”

The Finicum family has sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel requesting:

  • Correction of false statements in the award citation.
  • Clarification of the legal grounds for labeling LaVoy a “Domestic Terrorist.”
  • Full transparency and release of records surrounding the operation.

“Every medal given without the truth acknowledged or to those who do not deserve it is another wound for our family,” the statement continued. “We want closure, not commendations based on falsehoods.”
