| Police dash cam update from Leonard Allan Cure traffic stop |
| 2023-10-20 |
| [MAIL] Georgia police have released dashcam video of the moment a sheriff's deputy shot and killed 53-year-old Leonard Allan Cure, a man who spent 16 years in prison on a wrongful conviction, after Cure attacked him during a traffic stop. The incident occurred at 7.30am on Monday in Camden County, north of Jacksonville on the state line with Florida. Cure was speeding at more than 100mph in his pick-up truck. He was pulled over by an as-yet unnamed sheriff's deputy, who ordered him out of his vehicle and to put his hands on the back of his truck. 'I ain't doing s**t,' Cure replied, before eventually marching to the rear of the vehicle. He then raised one hand in the air, prompting the cop to taser him, then he swung at the sheriff's deputy. The pair wrestled for several seconds until Cure overpowered the cop, bending him over the back of the truck while keeping a firm grip on his chin. No gunshots can be heard in the video but this is the moment the sheriff's deputy shot him, once in the side, causing Cure to fall to the ground. |

| #9 My personal theory is the mark 1s (and aerosol deterrents) were effective to the point that some poor broad ended up spilling coffee on her lap and they became litigious. Some dood sank the eight ball on the break and kept playing, got zapped, heart attack, sued. Remember a few years back, there was some dumb-o-stration and that uniform went about dousing the cracker chicks with 'pepper spray' like so much mayonnaise on a french fry? |

| #8 I wonder why we keep seeing stories of tasers being deployed to no effect. Is it possible the taser is not actually a policing wunder-waffe? Is it user error? Bad equipment? There are stories of cheap-ass Chinese batteries. Or maybe we are evolving taser-resistant perps. Inquiring minds... |

| #6 Daily Muck has a hit job out claiming the cop was fired a few years back for excessive force. I'm not even going to link to that $h#t. |

| #5 If he was in jail for 16 years I can only assume he had a clean driving record. Worst case you get a speeding ticket; best case you get a warning. Seems the dumbass was looking for a fight… and got one. I like the Brinks truck backing up to the scene after seeing the fight on the highway. Good on Brinks crew for getting involved. |

| #3 It is clear from what we have seen (100+mph, assaulting a deputy, a Tazer shot with no affect and etc.) so far, that CURE was the problem, and the Deputy was enforcing the law. It was CURE's aggressive argumentative & then physical violent escalation that caused his own death. Given the TASER failed to debilitate him, and his from the start combative demeanor. All of this has me wondering what the Forensics Blood Samples tell us also. |

| #2 Cure overpowered the cop, bending him over the back of the truck Isn't that enough to get you shot? |

| #1 Somebody should sue the Taser marketer. It doesn't work unless the victim is a white pansy. |
