[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.

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.

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.

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...

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?
[AFRICANEWS] Liberia's presidential election appears headed for a runoff, with the main candidates neck and neck and votes almost completely counted.
President George Weah , who is seeking a second term, received 43.8% of the vote and his main opponent, Joseph Boakai , 43.4%, according to the National Electoral Commission. A candidate must obtain more than 50% of the votes to win.
Once the votes for this round are finalized, the second round will take place within 15 days. The elections of October 10 are the closest in almost 20 years, that is to say since the end of the civil war which left some 250,000 dead.
The final tally will have to wait until the end of the week, when re-voting is expected in two locations in Nimba County because ballot boxes were stolen, the commission said. Nimba County is an opposition stronghold , but analysts believe the result will not significantly change the results or push anyone over the finish line.
Mr. Weah, 57, a former international soccer star , came to power six years ago in the first democratic transfer of power in the West African country since the end of two civil wars there. were succeeded between 1989 and 2003.
Mr. Weah won this election thanks to high hopes raised by his promise to fight poverty and promote infrastructure development in Africa's oldest republic. His goal, he said in 2017, was to move Liberia from low-income to middle-income status.
But Mr. Weah has been accused of failing to deliver on his main campaign promises , namely to fight corruption and guarantee justice for victims of the civil wars that ravaged the country. This is the second time he has faced Boakai, whom he defeated by a margin of more than 20% in the 2017 election.
Boakai, who served as vice president under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , Africa's first democratically elected female leader, campaigned on a promise to save Liberia from what he calls Weah's failed leadership, dubbing himself and his running mate "Rescue 1" and "Rescue 2" .
Many election observers thought there would be a stronger third-party candidate to split the vote, but that was not the case, said Ibrahim al-bakri Nyei, a political analyst and director of the Ducor Institute for Elections. social and economic research.
"There is no clear winner. This shows that the president is strong in some areas, but also that people's dissatisfaction with the government is high, given the overwhelming support for the opposition." , did he declare.

Child Protection Court Judge Hina Mehwish issued the judgment and also directed the convict, Asif Raza alias Malangay, to pay a fine of Rs1 million.
The girl's body was found in the Balukhel Bala area, falling in the limits of the Badbher police station on November 19, 2020 — a day after she went missing. The minor girl's family and residents of the area then staged a protest.
Top officials took notice of the horrible act and a case was then registered. The police arrested the accused on December 11, 2020.
During the course of proceedings, the police had informed the court that the accused had first raped and then killed the minor. Then, he burnt the body and dumped it in a graveyard.
The law enforcers also informed the court that several cases were registered against Raza at the Badabair Police Station.
Days before this incident took place, a four-year-old boy, Tahirullah, was found dead in the fields within the limits of the Badaber Police Station with his abdomen cut.
Five days later Aalya was killed and her body was set on fire in the Balokhel area of Badaber. The two incidents created an atmosphere of fear in Badaber and the rest of rural Peshawar.

Kinda like a lottery ticket.
What he can't use should be passed down to his family.

We need to rethink the currently used injection death sentence.
I support Death Sentences administered in the same manner and process, that they killed their Victim(s) endured. No More, No less.
I could argue that since the sentence would be carried out using the same processes that the murderer themselves used. It would not be "Unusual" and no more Cruel, than the means that the murderer used themselves.
"If I draw and then quarter Mohammed,"
One asked a cantankerous Achmed,
"Will the quarters and halves
Still be whole golden calves,
And a three-quarter Moo get me bombéd?"
