Wow! Two deputies approached a man in Crenshaw, Los Angeles, and threatened to shoot him all because he was sitting in his parked car. 34-year-old rapper Feezy Lebron was on a live stream when Justin Sabatine and Jacob Ruiz suddenly opened the vehicle’s door, pointed their guns at him as one officer told said he’d shoot him straight in his chest.
Lebron claimed that both deputies never disclosed why they were after him and that he was surprised by the encounter since he had been parked inside his friend’s private parking lot with the engine switched off, as per Streets Blog LA.

“Take off in this car and I’m gonna shoot you,” Sabatine says. In an apparent state of shock, Lebron asks why the officer would threaten to kill him, which led to the response, “I’m gonna make it super easy on you: if you put this car in drive, you’re getting one right to the chest.”
The audio only gets worse as Lebron is then told that if he pulls any “bullsh**,” he would take a bullet to the chest — and that’s all while his car was still switched off, with officers still refusing to tell him what he had done wrong.
One of the deputies then asserts that Lebron was trying to speed off — which he denies in the video — and remaining non-compliant throughout the dispute. “You gonna shoot me for sitting – for sitting in a car?” he asks again, with the deputy getting firmer with his words as he replied, “You gonna comply or no?”
“Comply [with] what?” Lebron interjects. “If you move your hands from right there, you’re in trouble,” Sabatine affirmed. Seconds later, he added, “You are most definitely one thousand fifty percent detained,” he says. “If you do anything other than what you’re doing right now, then you’re going to have some major problems.”

While the clip ends during what seemed to be the most heated part of the audio, things only escalated off-camera when the two deputies in question searched through Lebron’s vehicle. It was clear to him at this point that there must have been a motive behind the volatile incident, particularly since Lebron knew he hadn’t done anything wrong.
“I have my license. I have my registration. I have my insurance. I have everything I need to have. I wasn’t sitting there smoking weed…I didn’t have any of that going on,” he explained to the aforementioned blog.
“I’m hearing his voice and it’s like he’s got so much rage – almost like roid rage – so I just want to not escalate it. But at the same time, I do want to understand why this is happening. As you can see in the video, though, he really couldn’t give me an answer [about the justification for the stop].”
