Leonard Allen Cure resisted arrest during a traffic stop, authorities say. He'd gotten $817,000 in compensation in August from Florida, where he'd been behind bars.

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.

    Resisting arrest is a catch-all term for “we don’t like you and will use the legal system to punish you”.

    In this case snuff out someone who beat them legally and exposed the tyranny of their system.
