Was it police brutality, or not? On Sunday, July 27. 2025 Blaze Media published an article and a video clip of this headline, “Video showing black man brutalized by police ignites outrage, but bodycam footage tells a different story.”
A video recording of the February 2025 traffic stop and arrest of a 22-year-old African-American man named William McNeil Jr. is going viral following its release to the public. The roughly two-minute-long video is disturbing, as it appears to capture McNeil being brutalized by police officers.
In the clip, McNeil sits in his car and talks to a cop outside his passenger window. He says, “When he pulled me over, he walked up, I opened my door because my window don’t work, right? And then I said, ‘So what I did wrong?’ He said, ‘Well, for one, your headlights are off under this weather.’ I’m like, ‘There’s multiple people with headlights off, first of all, and then there’s no rain.’”
The cop he’s speaking to then replies, “It doesn’t matter. You’re still required to have headlights on.”
McNeil then responds, “Can you pull that law up?”
“Yeah, when you step out of the car, I will,” the officer says.
McNeil then requests the officer call his supervisor, at which point, the officer gives the order to have McNeil’s window smashed. Another cop reaches through the broken glass and punches McNeil, who is not fighting back and has his hands visible, in the face. He’s then ripped from his vehicle, punched by several officers, and wrestled to the ground.
It certainly appears like disproportionate force was used on McNeil.
“This happens time and time again. A police officer, doing their job, see a traffic violation committed by a black, and then chaos insues.” said Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klun, based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas.”This is how Leftist media works, they pull up a video that doesn’t show the whole story. Sara Gonzales from Blaze Media’s ‘Unfiltered’ podcast had the whole interaction and when you’ve seen it, Leftist Media shows its bias to incite racisim. This is just another ‘follow directions’ that so many blacks have a problem with, but when the consequence is given, it’s the police officers fault. It was exactly what happened in the George Floyd arrest. He didn’t follow directions, and overdosed under the knee of Derick Chauvin. If Floyd would have followed orders, he would’ve been to the jail quick enough for their medical staff to treat his overdose. The sad part is that people see the first video clip released from Leftist Media and it gets ingrained into their mind so much that when more video is released showing a clear different angle of the interaction, but some will still only believe the first clips revealed because it has been pushed by Media as the truth. I would guess, I don’t know for sure, but I would guess that 7 or 8 interactions of law enforcement with black people end with an officer having to use some kind of hands on force to keep control. In a way, I wonder if some blacks do this to keep the idea of racism alive?”
