Just released footage of a SC State Trooper shooting an unarmed man.
The victim was already outside of his vehicle when approached by the trooper. He was asked to produce his license, and when he reached back into his vehicle to grab his license, he was shot.
The trooper has been fired. He was then arrested and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
Quote:
Department of Public Safety Director Leroy Smith fired Groubert September 19th after observing the video and reviewing a report from the State Law Enforcement Division.
A warrant states that audio and visual recordings, as well as written statements, indicate the shooting was without justification.
In dismissing Groubert, Smith called the facts of the case "disturbing."
