Attorneys for the Black college student beaten by police in viral video of a questionable traffic stop have condemned police reporting of the incident as "divorced from reality."
On February 19, Jacksonville police pulled William McNeil Jr. over for driving without headlights, despite the fact that it was daytime and it was not raining. McNeil calmly asked to speak to a supervisor and refused to exit his vehicle, rolling up his window and locking his door when deputies ignored his request.
