“He and his family deserved better,” the Innocence Project of Florida said in a statement. “Lenny’s life mattered.”
Cure’s quest to rebuild his life after being wrongfully convicted in 2003 ended tragically on the shoulder of Interstate 95 in South Georgia on Monday morning.
On Wednesday, the Camden County, Georgia, sheriff’s office released body-worn and dash camera videos of the moments leading up to the shooting.
In the dash cam video, the deputy begins pursuing Cure with his sirens on after Cure’s vehicle passes his. The pursuit lasts about one minute and 20 seconds.
A white dude could literally have put his hands around that cop’s neck and would have been arrested without being murdered.
It literally doesn’t even matter what Mr. Cure did, that cop had no business pulling him over for any reason. Police doing literally anything to him for any reason, aside from Mr. Cure purposefully killing innocent people (cops are never innocent) is a purposeful attempt on his life because there’s no way they would not have known who he was or wanted him to suffer for escaping their clutches.
Mr. Cure’s murder was a message – you will comply and submit to us doing anything we want to you and even if you legally manage to exercise your rights and escape, we will still come for you. There is no escape, bitch. Bend over.
That is what those cops hoped to accomplish and it sadly worked.
You need to do some meditation and self-reflection and decide for yourself if existing in fear of other people’s wrath is the way you want to live your life. Cops can’t just do what they want to everybody and we the people have rights that supercede any authority cops claim to have. Nothing cops do is constitutional and you and I both know that. Cops are always monsters and never do anything good – it is an immutable rule of the universe.
The guy clearly had the upper hand on the cop and was dominating the cop. If you believe the cop had no threat to perceive based on that video, idk what to say. I’ve seen plenty of other races getting shot for acting the same way. I’ve also seen black people get arrested after fighting. In the heat of the moment it’s hard to make rational decisions especially since your taser isn’t working on the person fighting you. I hope you’re never in that scenario.
