Video After The Jump
What should have been a routine traffic stop turned into an unjustified shooting of a citizen in Columbia, South Carolina.
Prosecutors just released dash cam footage of the incident that happened on September 4th. State Trooper Sean Groubert pulled in behind 35-year old African American Levar Jones, who had stopped at a Circle K convenience store. After Jones exited his vehicle, Groubert asked to see his license.

Jones turns around and reaches inside his vehicle for his I.D. At that point Groubert screams "get out the car," twice before firing four shots
“I just got my license. You said get my license,” Jones says. “I grabbed my license. Right there, that’s my license.”
“Put your hands behind your back,” Groubert tells him, as he walks over to cuff the innocent man.
“What did I do? What did I do, sir?” Jones asks.
Groubert asks him if he is hit.
“I think so, I can’t feel my leg," the injured man replied. "I don’t know what happened. I just grabbed my license. Why did you shoot me?”
“Well, you dove headfirst back into your car,” he said.
According to WLTX, Groubert was fired on September 19 by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety after a review of the State Law Enforcement Division report. DPS Director Leroy Smith said Groubert did not follow protocol when he shot Jones.

He's been charged with felony assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. He has since bailed out of jail.
Groubert will appear in court on October 24. He's facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Jones is said to be recovering from a shot to the hip.

The Atlanta rapper has put together an offer for labels interested in his services. It comes with a hefty $75 million price tag according to TMZ.
Parameters of the offer are as follows:
- 3 albums

Labels are already lining up
Dr. Dre (Aftermath), Jay-Z (Roc Nation) and Universal are said to be interested. Sony has reportedly already put a $50 million offer on the table.
No word on if Atlantic is interested in getting in on the bidding war to retain Tip's services.
Where do you think T.I. will end up?

He wanted to get Rich or Die Tryin', and it's fair to say 50 Cent has achieved his goal.
We hear the hardman rapper raked in £50,000 for uttering one word at a launch party on Thursday.
And the word in question? "Hey."
Yep, that's £16.6K per letter. Incredible! Fiddy - who is in the UK on his Before I Self Destruct tour - was wooed by the owners of flash new Liverpool club Bamboo to attend its opening night.
And the extravagance didn't stop at his super pay packet - he also had a budget-busting rider to match.
Once he'd been ferried by a Hummer Heaven stretch limo to the city's first seven-star club, his entourage had magnums of Cristal and Dom Perignon champagne on tap - served up by two models.
Our spy says: "It was the most blinging night ever.
"People thought 50 Cent might perform a track or two, given the massive fee, but he just greeted the crowd with a 'Hey' and got back to his two personally requested ladies, who were lavishing booze on him."
