FBI agents, sheriff named in civil lawsuit by LaVoy Finicum’s passengers. We say go for it. The entire fiasco was a ridiculous show of force. They could have quietly been arrested when they showed up at the public meeting they were going to speak at.
The 18-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Portland alleges that they were the victims of an “armed ambush, excessive-force seizure, conspiracy, battery and assault” and seeks a “common law jury” to award damages of up to $1 million per count.
The complaint also seeks to ensure that the defendants don’t hold public office because of their “Bad Behavior” and for “dishonoring” the U.S. Constitution.
