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.

Even if the arrest is unlawful, resisting arrest is clearly illegal.

And the punishment for breaking any law is death? Or from your prior comment:

They tried to stun him twice, use a baton, the only option left was to use the gun.

Yeah, the gun was the only option. You definitely can't just let someone run away for resisting arrest at a traffic stop. Even if you impound their now-abandoned car, they might go on a whole spree of resisting arrests or something.

In case you can't tell my tone is past sarcasm and well into disgust.
