Watch: US cop shoots black man four times for mere traffic violation

A two-year-old shooting of an unarmed black man in Florida by a police officer is back in focus after new dashcam footage released only now shows the cop shot unprovoked at the man, leaving him a paraplegic. Dashboard camera video of the shooting of Dontrell Stephens was released Thursday as part of a joint investigation by The Palm Beach Post and WPTV of more than 250 police shootings. It has raised questions about Palm Beach County Deputy Adams Lin's decision to fire shots. Stephens, 22, who was being pursued by Lin on September 13, 2013, for allegedly impeding traffic while crossing a West Palm Beach street on his bicycle, was left a paraplegic by his injuries. At a news conference this week, Stephens's attorney Jack Scarola accused Lin of unnecessarily escalating situations like this.
