Trooper Pleads Guilty For Shooting Unarmed Black Man During Traffic Stop
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A white South Carolina trooper has pleaded guilty to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature in the 2014 shooting an unarmed black driver seconds after a traffic stop.
Trooper Sean Groubert entered his plea Monday. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
The shooting captured on dash-cam video from the trooper's patrol car shocked the country, coming during a wave of questionable police shootings.
Levar Jones was walking into a convenience store when Groubert got out of his car and demanded Jones' driver's license.
Jones turned back to reach in his car and Groubert fired four shots. Jones' wallet is seen flying out of his hands.
Jones was shot in the hip and survived. Groubert's boss fired Groubert after seeing the video.

The video shows Levar Jones walking into a convenience store in September 2014 when Groubert gets out of his patrol car and demands Jones’s driver’s license.
Jones turns back to reach into his car and Groubert fires four shots. Jones’s wallet is seen flying out of his hands.
Groubert’s boss, state public safety director Leroy Smith, fired Groubert after seeing the video.
Jones was shot in the hip and survived. He walked into the courtroom Monday with a noticeable limp and played with a Rubik’s Cube before the hearing started.
Video of the encounter was played during the hearing and showed Groubert pulling up to Jones without his siren on, and the trooper asking Jones for his license after he also was out of his car.
As Jones turns and reaches back into his car, Groubert shouts: “Get outta the car, get outta the car.” He begins firing and unloads a third shot as Jones staggers away, backing up with his hands raised and then a fourth.
From the first shot to the fourth, the video clicks off three seconds.
When Jones heard the gunfire in the courtroom video, his shoulders ? .
In the video, Jones cried in pain waiting for an ambulance and repeated: “Why did you shoot me?”
Through Jones’s painful groans, Groubert replied: “Well, you dove head first back into your car.”
No sentencing date has been set for Groubert.

I almost guarantee there were crackas and ? who cosigned the shooting when it happened, saying it was a "clean shoot" and he "shouldn't have reached" and "you don't understand what these guys have to deal with on a daily basis".
I'm surprised it's not just another middle finger ? your Black life moment here. Let's see what the sentence will be. -
