Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.

    Well, let me ask…

    When was the last news story where you went back, got the details later, and felt the cops used too much force and deserved to be punished?

      I mostly member outcome of the cases not the details that were presented when I initially read about it.

      The Jordan Edwards case comes to mind, police shot him as he was driving away, they initially claimed he was reversing twords them. Footage releases later proved otherwise.

      There was a case of a kid getting shot because he went to put something behind his car to stop it from rolling back and hitting the cops behind him.
