TL;DR Summary

Body cam and dashboard camera footage released by the Camden County Sheriff's Office in Georgia shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Leonard Cure, a black man who was wrongfully convicted and served over 16 years in prison. Cure was pulled over for speeding, and the encounter escalated when the officer attempted to arrest him. The videos capture a physical altercation between Cure and the officer, which resulted in Cure being shot at close range. Cure's family and their lawyer argue that the officer was aggressive and failed to de-escalate the situation, triggering Cure's post-traumatic stress disorder. Cure was exonerated in 2020 and had recently purchased a house with compensation for his wrongful conviction.
