After being pulled over by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the 22-year-old can be seen speaking to officers who tell him he was stopped for driving without headlights in ‘inclement weather.’ McNeil asks to speak to a supervisor before his window is broken and he is punched at least twice in the face before being dragged to the floor out of sight.
