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.
Hey @jimbolauski@lemmy.world , still think I’ve got rustled jimmies or can we see a bit more eye to eye now about my hate of the South?
So we just gonna act like Chicago/Detroit/NY PD doesn’t exist?
If you’d like to discuss with me, I generally prefer people don’t try to imply that I’m saying something.
All I’m saying is that you make it seem like the south is the only place with racist law enforcement, it’s not.
Law enforcement is racist. Laws are geared against minorities, this is a rule of fact everywhere in the US.
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’re feigning ignorance, please stop.
After all, ignorance is no excuse for the law.
Yet again, you continue to assume and make an ass of yourself and me. So allow me to be clear, I’m asking you to fuck off.
You’re being a dick so now I’ll insist, go shove your opinion back up your ass and get fucked.
Come back when you learn how to listen without assumption.
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.
Lol says the guy who would rather have a conversation with what he thinks other people are saying than listen to them.
Toodles dipshit.
I see I’m living in your head rent free.
I don’t have enough detailes. I don’t like to jump to conclusions based on limited information.
Dig in harder. Changing your mind means you’re weak/woke.
Waiting for more details is digging in harder? I’m just not the kind of person that will get hysterical over a clickbate headline.
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.
But it’s a good guess to assume the former.
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.
DONT ASK QUESTIONS JUST BE ANGRY
Well, let me ask…
When was the last news story where you went back, got the details later, and felt the cops used too much force and deserved to be punished?
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 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.
I see rent free still lives in your head rent free
You got me?
My b man, wasn’t trying to get you. Just thought it was funny.
No no no! You got him, now you have to keep him. You can’t back out now!
got 'em!
