Law of Self Defense
Arthur McNeil Arrest: Cop Brutality, or Non-Compliant Hoax?
Arthur McNeil, a young black male, is pulled over by a Jacksonville FL deputy, and within minutes he’s being dragged from his car by a group of deputies, punched, driven to the ground, and forcibly handcuffed. Now that same young black male has released the cell phone video he took of his interaction with police that day—and it’s leading to public outrage over police violence.
Now McNeil has retained Attorney Benjamin Crump, a four-star general of the racial-grievance industrial complex, to leverage this outrage into a rich civil settlement that commonly amounts to many millions of dollars.
But wait—does the cell phone video accurately describe what happened? Are there any circumstances in which police can throw fists at a traffic stop? Shouldn’t today’s law enforcement be kinder and gentler with the victim of a traffic stop?
Fortunately, we have extensive body-worn camera footage of this event, which has just been released by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, along with a statement by the Sheriff—who happens to be a black male himself—providing vital context favorable to the deputies involved regarding the stop and arrest of Arthur McNeil.
Indeed, as is so commonly the case, the more we see and the more we know, the more this looks like just another of thousands of hoax claims of police excessive force.
