Sheriff Calls Out Suspect For Misrepresenting “Police Violence”

{snip}

This is an example of the popular online refrain, “All they needed to do was leave when asked.” People use that phrase to accompany videos of “shoppers” being asked to leave stores because they’re not buying anything, or they’re giving off shoplifter vibes.

A lovely lady who believes the store manager needs to provide her with an acceptable-to-her explanation before she obeys his command to leave his private property doesn’t want to follow directions.

We can imagine she’ll keep up that annoying patter when the cops show up.

The story we featured yesterday featured a black motorist who was pulled over by police for not wearing a seatbelt, and for not having his headlights on during rainy weather. The young black male driver did the usual “what I have did?” dance, and refused to give his license and insurance information to the officer. Like any mall Karen, he ordered the cops repeatedly to call their supervisor. Cops do not, of course, take orders from citizens to get them a manager. The police warned this man seven times (count them) that they were going to break the window in if he did not comply.

Now, the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff, T.K. Waters, has released the entire bodycam video. What makes it interesting is that Sheriff Waters is also black, but he’s not throwing his white officers under the bus. Instead, Waters said, an investigation is ongoing. And, he added, the  suspect William Anthony McNeill, Jr., was misrepresenting his own behavior. It’s obvious to the casual viewer that suspect McNeill hopes to set the cops up for “racist beating of black man.”

Take a listen to Sheriff Waters:

Here’s what X/Twitter users had to say in response to the Sheriff’s press conference:

There are always  some who try to put the blame on the  cops and claim that enforcing the law is “dangerous” to the “whole community.”
