@kathy shellorne – He wasn’t merely “speeding”, he was fleeing from the deputy at over 100 mph driving dangerously and recklessly through traffic. That is not a mere ticket, but an arrestable offense. Hence the reason for the felony arrest procedure.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Cure only has himself to blame. Cure turned violently rabid during the encounter, attacked the deputy by trying to break his neck and forced the deputy to shoot him. The deputy even tried striking Cure repeatedly with a baton to get him to release the deputy’s throat and that had no effect. It’s tragic that he was previously wrongfully convicted, but that does not excuse his decision to try and kill the deputy, nor did that make him any less violent and dangerous. That shooting was as justified as any shooting I’ve ever seen. Irrational opinions will disagree.
