Los Angeles Cop In Hot Water After Threatening To Shoot Rapper Feezy Lebron In The Chest During Traffic Stop

Newly-release body cam footage shows the shocking moment a sheriff's deputy threatened to shoot an unarmed man as he sat in his car in South Los Angeles.

The man involved in the New Year's Eve is reportedly Feezy Lebron, a Los Angeles-based rapper who later posted about the incident on his Instagram account.

Lebron said he was using his cell phone while sitting in his parked car when two passing deputies approached him, and ordered him to exit the vehicle.

'If you take off in this car, I'm going to shoot you,' the deputy is heard telling the rapper in the video. 'I'm going to make it super easy on you. You put this car in drive, you're getting one right to the chest.'

Lebron was not arrested, but later cited for a missing license plate and then released. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Friday that it is investigating the incident.
