Protesters demand justice for William McNeil Jr. outside State Attorney’s Office in Jacksonville

Dozens gathered outside the State Attorney’s Office in downtown Jacksonville on Saturday, demanding prosecutors reopen the investigation into the violent February arrest of William McNeil Jr. McNeil was pulled over by Jacksonville sheriff’s officers during a traffic stop earlier this year. Body camera video shows officers yanking him from his vehicle, pinning him to the ground and arresting him — footage from McNeil’s cell phone showing officers punching him in the face quickly went viral and sparked public outrage. “He's the type of kid that any parent white, black, Hispanic or whatever, would be proud to have, and just because he was driving down in not a good neighborhood with dreads in his head, they decided to pull him over,” William McNeil Jr.’s uncle said. The State Attorney’s Office later determined the officers involved did not violate any criminal laws — a decision activists say must be revisited. MORE: https://www.firstcoastnews.com/articl...
