There are calls for a Virginia State Trooper to be fired following resurfaced video that shows him threatening a black man during a 2019 traffic stop. 

Trooper Charles Hewitt has been placed on administrative leave as officials investigate the incident, which took place in Fairfax County on April 20 of last year. 

At the time, black motorist Derrick Thompson was pulled over by Hewitt and several other troopers while driving to his job at the Cheesecake Factory in Tysons Corner. 

One of the troopers claimed they smelled marijuana and ordered Thompson to step out of his vehicle, at which point he began filming the encounter on his cell phone. 

The two-minute video - which is now being examined by the Virginia State Police - shows Trooper Hewitt telling Thompson: ''You're going to get your a** whooped!'

'He just illegally entered my car,' Thompson tells the camera, referring to Hewitt, who is seen at the window of the vehicle. 

'Take a look at me. I'm a f**king specimen right here, buddy. You are getting on my last nerve. You are gonna get your a** whooped!' Hewitt then replies.  

'Sir, my hands are up, I'm not threat... I feel unsafe. I have just been threatened by an officer as two other officers stand by and say absolutely nothing,' Thompson subsequently states.
