@abcnews: "I was getting pulled over, and I needed to step out the car, and I know I didn't do nothing wrong. I was really just scared." William McNeil, Jr., the 22-year-old Florida man whose violent arrest by Jacksonville sheriff’s deputies was caught in a viral video, addressed the incident publicly for the first time during a press conference on Wednesday morning. Speaking during the press conference, one of McNeil's attorneys, Ben Crump, called for the firing of the deputy who punched McNeil during the incident. #florida #police #news #abcnews

He should have stepped out and followed police instructions. It’s his own doing.

Anyone taking the side of the cop needs to take a step back and reevaluate

If you can’t tell someone why they’re being pulled over without going into immediate rage you have absolutely no business being in charge of public order and or carrying a firearm. Point blank

I don't blame this young man. America is racist to the extreme and being black is already a crime. Fail to comply ? How many young black men have lost their lives having done nothing wrong, have died in these circumstances ?

“he should’ve just opened the door and got out” Do yall really blame a black individual for being scared to get out of his car???? you shouldn’t blame him. he did nothing wrong. he was scared.

Fact is...........if William McNeil jr was white, the officers would have handled that differently.

This wasn't a Rosa Parks moment! He swung the door open, was told why he was pulled over and proceeded to slam the door and refused direction.
