An unarmed South Carolina man who was shot during a routine traffic stop wants a body camera on every cop.
Levar Jones, who was injured by Trooper Sean Groubert in September at a Columbia gas station, said he supports a South Carolina police plan that would require officers to wear body cameras. The states police chiefs proposed the policy after Scott Walker, another South Carolina man, was shot and killed following a traffic stop earlier this month.
[...]
Jones who has no criminal record and was unarmed was shot in the hip. Groubert was booted from the force and charged with felony assault and battery.
I was shot for nothing, he said. I am lucky to be alive. I didn't do anything but go for my license, as I told him. He just shot at me.
[...]
Jones said the video of his shooting was difficult to watch, but hes glad it exists.
Please show everybody the video of me being shot because that is the reality of what is going on in America today, he said.
