Florida Deputy Cleared in Violent Arrest of Black Student | JQJO

Florida prosecutors will not file charges against a sheriff's deputy who was involved in the forceful arrest of a Black college student, William McNeil. A video of the arrest showed officers punching and dragging McNeil from his car, sparking outrage. Prosecutors, citing body camera footage and interviews, determined the traffic stop and use of force were justified, stating McNeil disobeyed lawful commands. McNeil's lawyers, Ben Crump and Harry Daniels, criticized the decision and called for a federal investigation, arguing the report attempted to justify the officers' actions.
