=== Injustice and Police Abuse (13:03) ===

[00:00:00]  On February the 19th, 2025 this year, America saw what America is.
[00:00:08]  You saw injustice.
[00:00:10]  You saw abuse of police power.
[00:00:14]  But most importantly, we saw a young man that had a temperament to control himself in the face of brutality.
[00:00:23]  William McNeil.
[00:00:26]  Let me be clear.
[00:00:27]  And people talk about him pleading guilty to resistance without violence and driving on suspended license.
[00:00:34]  That entire stop was not just pretextual, racial motivated.
[00:00:39]  It was unlawful.
[00:00:41]  And everything they stealed from that stop was unlawful.
[00:00:45]  What we're not going to do this morning, get it a back and forth between the leaders of Jacksonville.
[00:00:50]  What we're going to do, we're going to focus on the facts.
[00:00:54]  And everybody saw the video.
[00:00:56]  You can release all the body cameras you want.
[00:00:59]  But the body camera, the cell phone footage was unedited.
[00:01:03]  And it's a reality.
[00:01:05]  You could talk about a knife being in the car, but it was not a weapon because he did not weaponize it.
[00:01:10]  He stayed calm.
[00:01:12]  The only weapon that day was a Jacksonville sheriff office.
[00:01:16]  The nation saw it.
[00:01:18]  Everybody saw it.
[00:01:20]  And we are here for redress and get justice for the Manil family.
[00:01:25]  Amen.
[00:01:25]  Nothing more, nothing less.
[00:01:32]  William have a long road of recovery to go.
[00:01:36]  Long road of recovery.
[00:01:37]  I'm not going to get in his injuries.
[00:01:39]  You see pictures and things online, but William attended Livingston College.
[00:01:44]  Banned scholarship.
[00:01:45]  His president is here today.
[00:01:48]  So this narrative, they always have this narrative, Ben.
[00:01:51]  You know, he was a thug.
[00:01:54]  He was a criminal.
[00:01:56]  That's the narrative.
[00:01:57]  Yes, sir.
[00:01:57]  But William was doing everything.
[00:01:59]  William was doing everything right.
[00:02:02]  A college student on scholarship.
[00:02:06]  Doing what's required of him to be a better person.
[00:02:10]  And all he did, all he did was exercise his fundamental rights, his God-given rights, to answer a simple question.
[00:02:19]  Why are you stopping me?
[00:02:21]  For not having headlights on during the day?
[00:02:24]  Did y'all see the video where the officers came with no headlights on?
[00:02:28]  No windshield wiping.
[00:02:30]  No smoke.
[00:02:31]  No fog.
[00:02:32]  No rain.
[00:02:34]  So anybody would be confused.
[00:02:35]  Why are you stopping me?
[00:02:37]  And he exercised a right to ask that question.
[00:02:40]  And they bullied him, intimidated him, broke his window, and beat him and caused permanent injuries.
[00:02:46]  No, I'm going to step aside.
[00:02:47]  We got a lot of folks up here and get a chance to speak.
[00:02:50]  Here, we'll come back.
[00:02:51]  Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
[00:02:52]  A damn good show.
[00:02:53]  But before we get to today's video, I've got to tell you about my new giveaway.
[00:02:57]  F-250 King Ranch and Camper and 10,000 in Cash.
[00:03:00]  If you're in it right now, I think we're giving away five times inches, right, today?
[00:03:04]  I think so.
[00:03:04]  Yeah, five times inches.
[00:03:06]  And if you're in our VIP, you get all kinds of interest and all kinds of deals.
[00:03:09]  Go to officialhall2nds.com and get in there today.
[00:03:12]  Yeah.
[00:03:13]  You know, we made that point yesterday.
[00:03:15]  I said all the police showed up with no headlamps on.
[00:03:19]  Right?
[00:03:19]  No windshield wipers on.
[00:03:20]  They said, no, you, I mean, if you got to practice what you preach, if you pull them over not having headlamps, why don't you have your headlamps on?
[00:03:28]  Yeah.
[00:03:30]  And that's why they stopped him.
[00:03:32]  Yeah.
[00:03:32]  It wasn't because of some knife in the car or because they had his vehicle wasn't registered or his license was suspended.
[00:03:40]  All that came out at the end after they stopped him.
[00:03:43]  Yeah.
[00:03:43]  They I'm thinking.
[00:03:46]  I don't like that stop.
[00:03:46]  That stop was bogus.
[00:03:48]  Yeah, I think so.
[00:03:49]  I think the stop was an erroneous stop.
[00:03:53]  And according to the law, if you stop someone erroneously, all evidence you obtain from that stop is inadmissible in court.
[00:04:03]  It's thrown out.
[00:04:03]  He could have had 10 dead bodies in that car.
[00:04:05]  They would have threw it all out.
[00:04:06]  They would have threw it all out because they didn't have the probable cause to stop him.
[00:04:10]  Now, there was wrong going on both sides, but we got to teach people, just because you disagree with the police doesn't mean you have the right to obstruct.
[00:04:18]  Was he obstructing?
[00:04:20]  Yeah.
[00:04:21]  If they stop you erroneously, why are you stopping me?
[00:04:25]  If they stop you for no reason or a false reason, you don't, you don't, well, you actually don't have to give them your license.
[00:04:33]  But personally, me, to avoid all of this, I would have just gave my license.
[00:04:37]  That's what I'm saying.
[00:04:38]  I would have filed a complaint with the office.
[00:04:42]  I would have given a driver's license.
[00:04:44]  I would have got out of my car.
[00:04:45]  I would just play it cool.
[00:04:47]  Now, once he stepped out of his car, the force they used to arrest him, that was totally unnecessary.
[00:04:53]  There was a sucker punch before he got out of the car.
[00:04:55]  I understand you breaking his window to unlock his car door.
[00:04:59]  But so she break the window.
[00:05:01]  You do that?
[00:05:02]  That's uncalled for.
[00:05:03]  Break the window.
[00:05:04]  He says, get out of the car.
[00:05:07]  Yeah, that's excessive.
[00:05:08]  And then when he gets out of the car, he puts his hand behind his back.
[00:05:12]  He put his hands behind his back, and there's a punch going up on his chin.
[00:05:15]  And they said, no, get on the ground and put your hands on your back.
[00:05:19]  It was just when they arrested him, there was excessive force use.
[00:05:23]  I think the stop was bogus.
[00:05:24]  I think the force that was used during the stop was excessive, but he should have just complied.
[00:05:30]  He would have voted all this and he could have filed his complaint afterwards.
[00:05:34]  And he wouldn't have these permanent injuries.
[00:05:37]  Well, I don't think those injuries are permanent.
[00:05:40]  Well, Kevin, police officers got to know.
[00:05:43]  Yeah.
[00:05:44]  When you pull over a black person, they're going to, a lot of times they're going to provoke you.
[00:05:52]  Yeah.
[00:05:52]  Because they're trying to get paid.
[00:05:54]  Right.
[00:05:54]  They fail for it.
[00:05:55]  And they fail for it.
[00:05:56]  So now the taxpayers got to pay for this guy's.
[00:06:00]  For that police officer.
[00:06:01]  Access affordable.
[00:06:02]  Yeah.
[00:06:02]  So let's get to a statement.
[00:06:04]  For a Q ⁇ A.
[00:06:05]  We will have limited Q ⁇ A with William.
[00:06:08]  His parents is here.
[00:06:09]  Solomon's Latoya and his stepfather Alton is here as well wearing the red.
[00:06:14]  Next, I'm going to bring up my good friend, my colleague, Attorney Big.
[00:06:18]  We home here in Florida, so I had to bring him home.
[00:06:21]  Me and Crump, come on.
[00:06:29]  Thank you so very much, Attorney Harry Daniels.
[00:06:32]  I'm honored to co-counsel with you and Attorney Keith and all these great lawyers, Attorney Jackson and Attorney Robinson, because this is a very, very important case.
[00:06:47]  As Attorney Daniels said, when William was stopped, there was no rhyme or reason, no rationale for them stopping him.
[00:07:01]  I mean, this was a classic case of driving while black.
[00:07:14]  I mean, he can call it that, but.
[00:07:16]  That's what he was.
[00:07:18]  Well, the facts, the facts are this.
[00:07:20]  He is a black man.
[00:07:22]  He did get pulled over for that using his, having his lamps on in front of his car.
[00:07:28]  He didn't need those lamps on because it was daytime.
[00:07:30]  It wasn't raining.
[00:07:31]  So, I mean, the facts state that he got put over being black, but I don't think that's state of America to all black people.
[00:07:38]  I just think this is an overzealous cop.
[00:07:41]  I don't think this is an epidemic in this country because they do this stuff to white people.
[00:07:45]  They do this stuff to Latino.
[00:07:46]  They do this to everybody.
[00:07:48]  But they want to emphasize this happened because it's black.
[00:07:52]  I don't think necessarily that's true.
[00:07:54]  I don't think that's true.
[00:07:55]  Okay.
[00:07:57]  What do you think?
[00:08:01]  Was he pulled over because he was black?
[00:08:03]  Or was an overzealous cop?
[00:08:05]  Being black didn't help the case.
[00:08:07]  That's all I'm going to say.
[00:08:11]  And I applaud William McNeil for keeping his demeanor, his calmness.
[00:08:22]  That's true.
[00:08:23]  He didn't throw not one punch or anything.
[00:08:25]  He was not combative at all.
[00:08:27]  Those cops.
[00:08:30]  They break the wood.
[00:08:31]  Get out of the court.
[00:08:32]  They're looking like a episcopeen from the purge.
[00:08:36]  I mean, Attorney Daniels, I thought the trained police officers were supposed to be the ones to de-escalate the matter.
[00:08:45]  They were the ones escalating the matter.
[00:08:47]  He asked for a supervisor.
[00:08:49]  Should have just waited for the supervisor to come out there.
[00:08:52]  Right, right.
[00:08:54]  While this young man represented the best of us, he kept calm.
[00:08:59]  He was trying to de-escalate the matter.
[00:09:02]  He just kept asking simply, why are you.
[00:09:05]  He did try to de-escalate.
[00:09:06]  He asked for a supervisor.
[00:09:08]  But when you get...
[00:09:09]  No, no, no, ain't no but that could de-escalate the situation.
[00:09:12]  He said, I want to talk to a supervisor.
[00:09:14]  Right.
[00:09:14]  Why didn't they have a supervisor come out?
[00:09:16]  Right.
[00:09:16]  Maybe one of those was the supervisor, but it just seemed like they jumped the gun.
[00:09:20]  He did, they didn't give him, honor his request for a supervisor.
[00:09:23]  That could have de-escalated.
[00:09:25]  I've seen countless traffic stop videos where the supervisor came out there and de-escalated the entire security.
[00:09:30]  Yeah, yeah, that's true, but he's not the judge.
[00:09:34]  He's not the jury.
[00:09:35]  He's not the person who makes the cops was the jury.
[00:09:40]  They had an executioner to that day.
[00:09:42]  Let me say this.
[00:09:43]  Let me say this.
[00:09:45]  He should have just complied and filed a complaint.
[00:09:47]  Yeah, but just because he didn't complain.
[00:09:49]  You agree with me on that, right?
[00:09:50]  Yeah.
[00:09:51]  He should have just complied and filed a complaint after the fact, right?
[00:09:54]  Yeah, but that stayed in.
[00:09:56]  That doesn't justify what the cops did.
[00:09:58]  I didn't say that.
[00:09:59]  That stop was bogus, and the force they used to arrest him was success.
[00:10:03]  Yeah, okay.
[00:10:04]  Stopping me.
[00:10:06]  I mean, think about that.
[00:10:08]  I understand the sheriff said anti-police.
[00:10:12]  No, no, no.
[00:10:13]  It's not anti-police when an American citizen asks, why are you stopping me?
[00:10:21]  That is an American citizen exercising his constitutional rights.
[00:10:27]  That's what William was doing.
[00:10:30]  He was exercising his constitutional rights.
[00:10:34]  And Attorney Daniels and I seek to remind America that we are a democracy.
[00:10:42]  I think he's really close to his mom.
[00:10:45]  I mean, if I'm a grown man and I just, that happened to me, I don't need my mama to hold me.
[00:10:51]  He's a mama's boy.
[00:10:53]  Where's his dad at?
[00:10:54]  I'm sure his dad is there somewhere.
[00:10:56]  His dad ain't there.
[00:10:56]  Come on.
[00:10:57]  I think his daddy's there.
[00:10:58]  Where?
[00:10:59]  That we believe in the Constitution and that all American citizens have a right to the protections of the Constitution.
[00:11:10]  You have a right to ask questions, but you don't have a right to tell the cops what to do.
[00:11:13]  Hey, you have a right.
[00:11:14]  You have a Fourth Amendment right.
[00:11:16]  Yeah.
[00:11:16]  You don't have to give your cops your information, your ID, unless they have a probable cause to stop you, a legitimate probable cause.
[00:11:24]  Yeah, and the cops felt that it had a legitimate cause.
[00:11:26]  But I don't think that's going to hold up in court.
[00:11:29]  I don't think it is either.
[00:11:30]  Constitution, that this is not a police state where the police are above the law and that they have no accountability.
[00:11:41]  No, the last time I checked, America is still a democracy, and our citizens still have a right to the Constitution.
[00:11:51]  We're not a democracy.
[00:11:53]  We're a constitutional republic.
[00:11:55]  Why is this dude up here?
[00:11:56]  He's like, he's about to fall asleep.
[00:11:58]  Probably got narcolepsy.
[00:11:59]  That day, I just really wanted to know why I was getting pulled over.
[00:12:05]  Wait, man, he's got a chip tooth, don't he?
[00:12:06]  I needed to step out the car.
[00:12:08]  Man, I know I didn't do nothing wrong.
[00:12:12]  Wait a minute.
[00:12:13]  Freeze it real quick.
[00:12:14]  His mouth didn't look like that during the stop.
[00:12:17]  They said he had permanent injuries.
[00:12:18]  I thought they were just hyperbolic talk.
[00:12:21]  But it looked like he's missing half a tooth, his front tooth.
[00:12:24]  His mouth didn't look like that during the stop.
[00:12:30]  I was really just scared.
[00:12:33]  Just see that video made me go back to the moment when I was 22.
[00:12:38]  It hurt it.
[00:12:41]  Who is that?
[00:12:41]  That's his stepfather.
[00:12:43]  He said it hurted.
[00:12:44]  No, it hurt.
[00:12:48]  It hurt it.
[00:12:50]  It made me upset.
[00:12:54]  But I seen what my son did that I had to do.
[00:12:58]  And he sucked right.
[00:13:00]  He did right.

=== The Cost of Compliance (04:01) ===

[00:13:04]  I agree.
[00:13:05]  His son did everything right.
[00:13:06]  To see that.
[00:13:09]  Well, not really.
[00:13:10]  He should have just gave him his license.
[00:13:12]  Yeah, that's right.
[00:13:13]  He didn't do everything right, but he refrained from violence and escalating situation.
[00:13:17]  But he did obstruct.
[00:13:19]  Yeah, I've seen countless people get pulled over by the cops and they push back on the cops.
[00:13:22]  No, that was an erroneous stop.
[00:13:24]  You have no proper calls to stop me.
[00:13:25]  And the cops just go the other way because they know they're in the wrong.
[00:13:28]  And it was there was under a fishing expedition.
[00:13:32]  Right, right, right.
[00:13:35]  It is a hurting fitness to be a father that loves God first and to see all my kids not being able to wake up in the morning.
[00:13:50]  Man, they finna get paid.
[00:13:52]  Yeah, they got doing a good performance.
[00:13:55]  They fit to get paid.
[00:13:57]  These people ain't got to work another day in their life.
[00:13:59]  His son, his stepdad, his mama, he's probably getting like a couple bill, 3 million.
[00:14:04]  That doesn't mean they'll be broke in six months.
[00:14:08]  Everybody's going to have Cadillacs.
[00:14:09]  They get more than 3 million.
[00:14:11]  You think so?
[00:14:11]  Yeah.
[00:14:12]  I want to get my phone call sent.
[00:14:14]  Your child is gone.
[00:14:16]  That's a hurting feeling, but I thank God.
[00:14:19]  Yes.
[00:14:19]  Because God got it.
[00:14:21]  I want you to try to put yourself in our shoes.
[00:14:25]  Try to put yourself in William's shoes just for a second.
[00:14:30]  The police stop you and tell you, you say, why are you stopping me?
[00:14:35]  And they say, well, you don't have your hairlights on and it's raining.
[00:14:40]  And you look and you're like, there's no rain.
[00:14:44]  Why are you stopping me?
[00:14:46]  And all he does, well, I say it's a Rosa Parks 21st century moment.
[00:14:52]  He, as a black person, says, you know, I'm tired of it.
[00:14:58]  I'm going to try to demand my constitutional rights.
[00:15:03]  That's the only thing that William McNeil did.
[00:15:06]  And that's the only thing you would want your children to do.
[00:15:10]  To say, as a citizen, don't I have the right to know why you're violating my Fourth Amendment rights against search and seizure unlawfully?
[00:15:21]  Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that a cop, just because they're a cop, can't just walk up to you.
[00:15:26]  Hey, I need to see your license.
[00:15:28]  What's your name?
[00:15:28]  What are you doing standing right here?
[00:15:32]  You look suspicious.
[00:15:33]  Yeah, you have a Fourth Amendment right to tell that cop to go suck it.
[00:15:37]  But listen, black.
[00:15:39]  He's still.
[00:15:40]  But listen here, Black America.
[00:15:42]  This lawyer is giving some very bad advice.
[00:15:44]  If you disagree with the police officer, just comply.
[00:15:47]  Don't obstruct.
[00:15:48]  You're going to make things worse for yourself.
[00:15:49]  You might end up losing your life or you might end up getting a multi-million dollar settlement.
[00:15:54]  The risk is too much for me.
[00:15:55]  I'm just going to give you my license.
[00:15:56]  I tell my kids the same thing.
[00:15:57]  Just comply.
[00:15:58]  You have your day in court.
[00:15:59]  More than likely, these cops will never even show up in court.
[00:16:02]  Yeah.
[00:16:03]  You know, and it's going to get dismissed.
[00:16:04]  Yeah.
[00:16:05]  That's it.
[00:16:06]  Nothing more.
[00:16:07]  So search your hearts, America.
[00:16:09]  If this was your child, if this was your child.
[00:16:13]  Our kid ain't doing it.
[00:16:13]  Wouldn't you be proud that William kept his calmness in his demeanor and de-escalated it?
[00:16:23]  And let that govern you when you call on the sheriff to hold these police officers accountable.
[00:16:30]  Because that's what we have to get here.
[00:16:32]  We have to have accountability.
[00:16:35]  Man, y'all are going to get a lot of people.
[00:16:37]  People think that William McNeil.
[00:16:39]  No, just comply and just show.
[00:16:42]  You're going to have your day in court.
[00:16:43]  Both sides did wrong.
[00:16:44]  But the only one that's got any money is the cops.
[00:16:48]  So they got to pay.
[00:16:49]  Yeah.
