In the latest update, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has responded to the trending, yet triggering incident.

The incident allegedly happened earlier this year. McNeil's video starts with the 22-year-old speaking to an off-camera officer seemingly standing by his passenger window. The officer seemed to be listening, interjecting with "yeah" a few times. Will seemed to be explaining his confusion about why officers picked him for a traffic stop. He explained that the officer told him the stop was over his headlights being off. Eventually, the same cop responded, "It doesn't matter," and said Will was still required to have his headlights on. The officer then asks him to step out of the car, agreeing that he'd explain the related "law" about headlights afterward. William McNeil Jr. reacts by asking the cop to call his supervisor twice. Meanwhile, the video's background shows another officer, a Caucasian with black-framed glasses, positioned near his driver's side window. When McNeil asked for the supervisor the second time, the cop he was talking to seemingly told the officer by the driver's side, "Alright go for it." At that point, the cop shattered Williams' car window and punched him in the face while yelling, "Exit the vehicle now." Then, another Jacksonville officer joined them on the driver's side. Will immediately showed his hands when asked, and then the cops proceeded to open his car door, yank him out, and tackle him to the ground with broken glass on it. Will McNeil Jr. did not appear resistant while sitting in his car, and only screamed "no" after officers tried to wrestle him to the ground outside of it. Officers can be heard saying things like, "F*ck's wrong with you," "Ain't no talking now," "You're under arrest, that's what's going on." Meanwhile, William repeatedly says he did nothing wrong and was trying to have a conversation. Editor's Note: The video below may contain sensitive or triggering material. Will McNeil Jr. Reveals Injuries He Suffered As mentioned, Will explained in his caption that the incident happened on February 19 at about 4 p.m. He again said he was pulled over for his headlights being off, despite no rainy, smoky, or foggy weather. Additionally, McNeil Jr. said he could see the "blue sky" before explaining his injuries. "I simply asked for a supervisor and things escalated quickly as you can see. A chipped tooth and 9+ stitches in my lips ( my tooth went through my lip ) were the results from them slamming me on the ground for no reason when I was trying to put my hands behind my back," Will McNeil Jr. revealed. Will added that he suffered a concussion and short-term memory loss. He also said that sharing the footage was "very hard" for him, and that he's not "mentally healed" from the interaction, which has impacted his relationships.
