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.
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.
I meant when he fled in the car
He didn’t flee in his truck. He blew by a cop in the fast lane then pulled over to the right when the cop got behind him with his lights on.
