đ¨ A traffic stop in Jacksonville, Florida, has gone viral after shocking video shows deputies smashing a car window and repeatedly punching William McNeel Jr. The Jacksonville Sheriffâs Office has now opened an internal investigation into the incident.
The February stop began over âheadlights off in the rain,â but quickly escalated as McNeel questioned the stop and requested a supervisor. Civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Harry Daniels, who now represent McNeel, say he was calmly exercising his rights when deputies violently removed and beat him.
McNeel faces charges including resisting arrest without violence, marijuana possession (under 20 grams), driving with a suspended license, and failure to wear a seatbelt. The Jacksonville Sheriffâs Office says they are âcommitted to determining exactly what occurred.â
Watch the full footage and decide for yourself: Was this justified, or an abuse of power?
