Below are the references with links used in the video for those wanting to read more on the subject:

Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (we have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on killing some of them and taking some of them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man should kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive." When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet raised both his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done."

‘Umar told Khalid: “You enemy of Allah! You killed a Muslim man and thereafter took his wife. By Allah, I will stone you.”

"Khalid inaugurated his acceptance of Islam by behaving contrarily to the orders issued by the Messenger of Allah not to kill anyone. Khalid entered Mecca on the conquest day after having killed more than thirty men who belonged mostly to Quraysh although the Prophet had clearly instructed them not to kill anyone."

Before dawn on February 1, 630 (the 11th of Shawal, 8 Hijri) the Muslims formed up in marching order to advance to Autas where they expected to engage the enemy. It was their intention to get through the defile of Hunain before the enemy came to know of their movement. The advance guard again consisted of the Bani Sulaim under Khalid, and behind it marched various Muslim units, including the group of 2,000 Makkans. The camp was left standing as the base of the operation.

One more reference which states the Prophet continued to trust Khalid. "The Prophet Muhammed sent him to destroy a particularly important pagan idol in the oasis of Nakhla and to negotiate with the powerful Banu Jadhima tribe, which, Khalid attacked without orders. Nevertheless, the Prophet continued to trust Khalid ibin al-Walid and soon sent him against the Arabian oasis town and power center of Dumat al-Jandal."
