They try to claim he reached for a knife on the floor, the video is pretty clear in the fact that he is no threat and isn't reaching for anything from before the window is broken till after he is dragged out.

Don't believe your lying eyes.

How does having your headlights off on a cloudy day justify forcing a motorist out of their vehicle?
“Part of that stems from the distance and perspective of the recording cell phone camera,” the sheriff said in a statement, adding that the video did not capture events that occurred before officers decided to arrest McNeil.
Yeah, because they were still in their car when they decided to arrest him for no reason.
replies:
The sheriff said the cellphone camera footage from inside the car “does not comprehensively capture the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
Bullshit.
As always, ACAB.

Well, why was he black?
replies:
That'll teach him to... checks notes turn off his headlights in between rain downpours... such a wanton criminal.
replies:
Talk about a bunch of dudes with fragile egos getting their feelings hurt because the man has the gaul to question their authority and demand their supervisor. That's such limp dick behavior and is a fucking disgrace. Even if the cops were in the right for pulling him over (not having your headlights on? Really?) that's just ridiculous.

Once they're done rounding up all the brown people, I'm guessing black is next.

Lottery ticket and I hope he wins. Then again, it's in the Deregulated Nazi run Florida Oblast.
Is there a video from source not built by one of these Florida cop's retarded nephews?
replies:
Cops casually assaulting people for no real reason has become the norm. 30 years ago that would have been a crime.
replies:
I know no one wants to hear this but he was asked multiple times to get out and refused to show ID. They shouldn't have handled it like they did but dude fucked around and found out.
replies:
I saw the body cam footage. While they definitely used excessive force when they beat him up, he resisted arrest and was being overall combative. When the cop asked him for his ids he says no and slams the door closed and locks it. (His window was broken so he was communicating by opening the door)
The cop showed amazing composure by not immediately breaking the window and pulling him out. If that would have happened imo it would have been justified.

Cameras “can only capture what can be seen and heard,” the sheriff added. “So much context and depth are absent from recorded footage because a camera simply cannot capture what is known to the people depicted in it.”
"He was totally thinking of doing a terrorism. Trust us!"

Really hard to make a resisting claim on someone who is THAT chill after being punched in the face.
