Sheriff Calls Out Suspect For Misrepresenting “Police Violence”

We told you about a recent traffic stop that ended with cops breaking in the driver’s window and punching and slapping the motorist who refused to provide his license and who resisted arrest. We have an update below.
It’s yet another example in the genre of “obstreperous black citizens refusing to leave private property or refusing to cooperate with police.” These shrieking man and woman-children turn everyday activities into pugilistic ordeals with shop owners, mall security, and traffic cops.
This is an example of the popular online refrain, “All they needed to do was leave when asked.” People use that phrase to accompany videos of “shoppers” being asked to leave stores because they’re not buying anything, or they’re giving off shoplifter vibes.
A lovely lady who believes the store manager needs to provide her with an acceptable-to-her explanation before she obeys his command to leave his private property doesn’t want to follow directions.
We can imagine she’ll keep up that annoying patter when the cops show up.
The story we featured yesterday featured a black motorist who was pulled over by police for not wearing a seatbelt, and for not having his headlights on during rainy weather. The young black male driver did the usual “what I have did?” dance, and refused to give his license and insurance information to the officer. Like any mall Karen, he ordered the cops repeatedly to call their supervisor. Cops do not, of course, take orders from citizens to get them a manager. The police warned this man seven times (count them) that they were going to break the window in if he did not comply.
He did not comply, and so they did. But the driver put out his cell phone footage of the March 2025 incident showing only that a cop hit him in the face during the arrest (of course, the driver was resisting and thrashing). What he didn’t include was the context that showed how provocative and dangerous his behavior was.
Now, the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff, T.K. Waters, has released the entire bodycam video. What makes it interesting is that Sheriff Waters is also black, but he’s not throwing his white officers under the bus. Instead, Waters said, an investigation is ongoing. And, he added, the suspect William Anthony McNeill, Jr., was misrepresenting his own behavior. It’s obvious to the casual viewer that suspect McNeill hopes to set the cops up for “racist beating of black man.”
Take a listen to Sheriff Waters:

“Social media is not reality,” said Waters. “One video clip devoid of context can be very misleading.”
Here’s what X/Twitter users had to say in response to the Sheriff’s press conference:
Why he didn’t get out when they ask him to?

People really think you can escalate, obstruct, and resist …. then get upset when officers don’t treat it like a TED Talk. That’s not how any of this works 💀

There are always some who try to put the blame on the cops and claim that enforcing the law is “dangerous” to the “whole community.”
