A video from Jacksonville in Florida has become viral. He shows that a policeman hit a man, William McNeil Jr., during a traffic stop.
While the incident occurred in February, the video has now become viral. Civil rights lawyers call it a police brutality. The police claim that the viral video recorded by McNeil does not show the whole story.
However, Sherif TK Waters admitted that force was used.
“Yes, the strength of the arrested officers has absolutely appeared, and yes, the power is ugly. Just because the strength is ugly, it doesn’t mean it is illegal or contrary to politics,” CNN quoted the Sheriff’s Water at a press conference.
“The facts and information are buried to advance in the program against the police,” he added.
What the videos show
The video from McNeil’s shows the tense and violent police meetings inside and around the parked car. It starts with a 22 -year seating on the driver’s seat.
He spoke with the officer through the open window on the passenger side. He asked why he needed his headlights during the day. He also asked for an interview with a supervisor.
Soon the mood moved. The officer standing outside, told his colleague that he was going to break the window. Another officer replied, “Okay, go for it.
A moment later the side window of the driver was broken. The officers immediately struck McNeil in the face, pulled him out of the car, and attached him to the ground.
The new video of the police body shows that the officer warned McNeil to open the door or break the window. Another patrol car arrived when the officer repeated the warning seven times.
No mention of the strike in a police report
Video Bodycam does not show the officer of McNeil punching as recorded in another video. D. Bowers, an arrested policeman, did not mention in his report that McNeil had been set out.
Bowers said McNeil did not listen, so he broke the car window and used the strength to pull it out. Another officer later said McNeil was stamped six times on his leg.
Bowers also claimed that McNeil reached for the knife on the floor. But McNeil’s lawyers called it a lie.
“He simply asks for a supervisor and then breaks his window and beat him.
Sheriff Waters said that McNeil did not report or share his video with the police before publishing it on the social media. If he had it, the investigation would begin earlier. The criminal probe began on 20 July.
