“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.
So I guess no one cares that this was an obvious hit job
Dude he was fighting the cop with his hands around the cop’s neck. The cop was doing 65+ when he passed. You can tell he was speeding. I get that going in for reckless driving may be traumatic for somebody with his history, but the cop doesn’t know that. Someone of sound mind tries to be cooperative when pulled over. The guy was not that, and as all things happening in the heat of the moment, it quickly got out of control. How in the fuck was this a hit job?
Because he just got released from being wrongfully imprisoned, was driving while Black and was killed for it. Every cop in the nation knows who the hell he is. And racists and tyrants don’t like those who escape their wicked claws.
Even under your interpretation of the situation, it’s still wrong, as white people who do the same are rarely if ever killed for it while Black people are.
Most people will also not put their hands around the cop’s neck. You really believe the cop knew who he was immediately when he passed the cop doing at least 20 more mph than the cop was? I would never tell a cop “no I’m not” if he told me I’m going to jail for reckless driving. That’s not cooperating. I guess I’m a pussy
