A video showing Florida’s duties that punches a black person from his car during a traffic stop and enhances nationwide resentment, civil rights lawyers have accused the authorities of making their arrest reports.
22 -year -old William McNell Junior was sitting on the driver’s seat, asking to talk to the supervisor of Jacksonville’s duties when the authorities broke his window, punched him on his face, pulled him from the vehicle, punched him again and threw him on the ground.
But Jacksonville Sheriff vaccine Waters say that the story is more than the cellphone video that goes viral on the Internet. He warned the public about “a crowd for the decision”, which could lead to defective conclusions. McNell’s lawyers say that the video clearly depicts the barbarity of the police.
The footage of February 19 shows that a few seconds before pulling out, McNell’s hands were up and said that it was not protested, “What is your reason?” He had said that he had accused his headlights of not being, even though it was a day, his lawyers said.
“What happened to William McNell Junior is a disturbing reminder that even the most fundamental right – as to ask why you have been drawn – can be met with violence for black Americans,” advocate Ben Serp and Harry Daniel said in a statement. Additional is a black civilian right attorney who has gained national prominence representing victims of police cruelty and vigilance violence.
“William was calm and obedient,” he said. “Nevertheless, instead of the answer, he broke his window and punched his face, on a suspicious claim about headlights in all daylight.”
Sheriff said the cellphone camera footage from inside the car “does not capture the circumstances around the incident.”
Sheriff said in a statement, “The recording cell phone stems from the camera distance and perspective,” Sheriff said in a statement, saying that the video did not capture the incidents that the authorities decided to arrest McNell.
The camera “can only capture what can be seen and heard,” Sheriff said. “So much reference and depth are absent from recorded footage because a camera simply cannot occupy it that is known to the people painted in it.”
A major point of dispute in the police report claims that McNell was reaching an area where there was a knife. The depot later found a knife on the side floorboard of the driver of his car when he discovered it after taking McNell into custody.
Officer D. The Bovers wrote in his report, “The suspected vehicle was arriving for the floor, where a big knife was sitting.” “The suspect continued attempting to pull away from the authorities and refused to put his hands behind his back.”
The Bovers has not mentioned any punches thrown in their report, and describes the force in such a way: “The physical force was applied to the suspect and was taken to the ground.”
Additional and Daniels called that report “construction”, saying that “he never arrives for anything.”
He said, “Once when he moves forward, the officer punches him by punching him on his face.” “Then this young man sits back straight back and holds his empty hands.”
He said, “He is never combative, never raises his voice and he definitely never arrives for a knife.” “He simply asks for an observer and then they break his window and beat him yet, somehow, the report failed to mention it.”
McNell was accused of opposing a police officer without violence; Due to driving with a suspended license and being less than 20 grams of marijuana, the Waters said. He said that he blamed for allegations of protesting an officer and driving with suspended license, said the water.
McNell was warned seven times that he needs to open his car door and get out, or the authorities would be forced to break their car window, Sheriff said.
Waters said that on Sunday, Sheriff’s office came to know that the cellphone video was roaming on social media. The investigation then began, and the state counsel’s office determined that no officer violated any criminal laws, he said in a news briefing. A “administrative review” to determine if the authorities have violated the policies of any department, still continue, he said.
