⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Jacksonville Police Under Fire After Viral Video Shows Man Beaten During Daylight Traffic Stop
The incident took place back in February but recently gained traction after the man, William McNeil Jr., shared the footage.
McNeil Jr., 22 was punched in the face after being pulled over for not driving with his headlights on during the day.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has launched an internal investigation after a disturbing video surfaced on social media Sunday, showing officers forcibly removing a man from his vehicle and striking him during a traffic stop that reportedly occurred on February 19, 2025.
In the footage, recorded in broad daylight, the driver is heard stating he was pulled over for not having his headlights on, despite clear weather and other vehicles also lacking headlights. The video, which quickly went viral, triggered a wave of online outrage and prompted an official response from the department. Authorities say the incident is now under active review.
