William McNeil Jr. was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car, asking to speak to the Jacksonville deputies’ supervisor when authorities broke his window, punched him in the face, pulled him from the vehicle, punched him again, and threw him to the ground. “That day I really just wanted to know why I was getting pulled over and why I needed to step out of the car. And I know I didn’t do anything wrong. I was really just scared,” he said of the encounter. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump called for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office to fire the officer. Jacksonville Sherifff T.K. Waters said the public should not rush to judgment and that officers had asked McNeil several times to exit his vehicle.
