Leonard Allen Cure resisted arrest during a traffic stop, authorities say. He'd gotten $817,000 in compensation in August from Florida, where he'd been behind bars.
A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff's deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.
Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.
If you're waiting for more details about cops being horrible in the US, you ar have either dug into the opposite opinion, or have managed to avoid (intentionally or otherwise) a whole lot of data.
I'm waiting for details on this case. Did the cop have a legitimate reason to pull over Leonard Cure, did he have a reason to arrest him. The article claims Lenard resisted and continued going after the cop after he was tased but I have not seen any evidence.
I wonder why you get so worked up about someone wanting more info instead of blindly following a narrative.
I mostly member outcome of the cases not the details that were presented when I initially read about it.
The Jordan Edwards case comes to mind, police shot him as he was driving away, they initially claimed he was reversing twords them. Footage releases later proved otherwise.
There was a case of a kid getting shot because he went to put something behind his car to stop it from rolling back and hitting the cops behind him.
Now that I have seen the evidence, Cure driving 100mph and attacking the officer I find it hard to fault the officers actions. Has your opinion changed now that the videos have been released?
No. Cops have the obligation to deescalate, and he failed. Running away does not mean you need to be tased when you finally do choose to comply.
Short of a suspect pulling a knife or a gun on the cop, or actively moving to harm another person, there's no instance where I see lethal force as appropriate force.
Being guilty of speeding, fleeing, resisting arrest, it even punching a cop in the face, should not be a death sentence.
I see you haven't watched the video, Cure didn't run away he came after the cop. The cop only shot him after he was being choked against the back of Cure's truck.
As I said, you're making implications and reading much more into it than I intended. What I said was exactly what I meant, nothing more nothing less.
As I said, I prefer people try not to imply I'm saying something given you didn't listen for the 2nd chance I see no reason for continue the conversation. Have a good one.
You can shove your opinion (your actual opinion, what I stated about law enforcement is not opinion) up your ass as well, especially since you're going to generalize half a country based on the actions of the shitty few. There are shitty people everywhere, and you seem to be one of them, you bitter piece of shit.
