An unarmed black man was fatally shot by a white cop in Georgia, which means Black Lives Matter is cranking up the outrage machine and some fiery, but mostly peaceful riots are sure to follow. It doesn’t actually matter that it was a justified use of force or that the black man was a total scumbag, because the race hustlers have found a new martyr.
Leonard Cure was serving a life sentence for an armed robbery, and the reason why the punishment was so severe was because he had been previously convicted on several violent felonies. It turns out, he had an alibi for the robbery, and was released after 16 years. This alone made him a hero on the left, because he was a black man, wrongfully convicted by the “racist” justice system. It doesn’t erase his life of violent crime, but racial justice warriors chose to ignore facts that are inconvenient to their narrative.
After being released three years ago, Cure got a huge $817,000 settlement form the State of Florida, some of which he may have used to buy a Hemi-powered Ram pickup truck. While behind the wheel of that truck, Cure was clocked going over 100 mph, and because of that, the BLM hero became a BLM saint.
Take a look at the dash cam and see if you can spot anything Cure could have done differently:

That is Camden County Sheriff’s Deputy Buck Aldridge trying to arrest Leonard Cure, who is combative and non-complaint. Keep in mind that he was doing over 100 mph, which is extreme reckless driving and an arrestable offense.
Deputy Aldridge hit Cure with the Taser when he refused to submit, at which point the black felon attacked the officer. You can see the deputy trying to hit Cure with his baton, but it does no good. Finally, Cure had Aldridge by the throat, forcing his head back and the deputy had no choice but to fire a single shot into his torso.
This was a righteous shooting all the way, even though Cure didn’t have a weapon. He was overpowering the deputy and maybe could have killed him with his hands, or even grabbed his gun. Aldridge’s life was in danger at that moment and he had every right to use deadly force.
I’m also going to suggest that Cure was under the influence of some kind of narcotic, because he was sketchy from the git go. The Taser did nothing to him and he was swinging his arms wildly. Even after he was shot, he was on the ground flailing like a madman.
Thankfully this happened in Georgia and not New York of California, where the officer would already be in jail for murder. Hopefully, this dash cam video is enough to show that Deputy Aldridge was protecting his own life and had no other choice but to shoot.
It however won’t be enough for BLM t admit that sometimes black guys f*ck around and find out. All they will see is a white cop shooting an unarmed black man, and that’s good enough to loot and burn the cities.
