🚨 DRIVING WHILE BLACK: Cop climbs into car and beats Black driver for asking to speak to a supervisor.
Craig Manning says he was racially targeted during a traffic stop.
He made a LEGAL left turn, got pulled over, and asked to speak to a supervisor before handing over his license or exiting the vehicle.
Dashcam footage shows an officer climbing into his car and punching him several times in the face and head. He was charged with traffic violations and resisting arrest.
He’s now planning to sue Suffolk County Police and the officers.
His attorneys say it was because he’s Black and note he had the camera installed out of fear of “driving while Black.”
Another case of police using fists on a Black driver who simply wanted basic rights.
How many more Black men have to get beaten on camera before these cops face real consequences?
William McNeil Jr., a 22-year-old Black college student, filed a $100,000 federal civil rights lawsuit on September 10, 2025, against Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) officers, Sheriff Thomas Kevin Waters, and the City of Jacksonville after a February 2025 traffic stop that went viral.
On February 19, 2025, McNeil was stopped by JSO deputies for allegedly not having his headlights on.
McNeil’s cellphone video showed it was broad daylight, and Florida law only requires headlights from sunset to sunrise or in certain weather conditions.
He remained calm, seatbelt fastened, and repeatedly asked to speak with a supervisor.
According to McNeil’s account, Officer D. Bowers broke the driver’s-side window, struck him in the face multiple times, and dragged him from the vehicle.
The incident was captured on video and shared widely, sparking national outrage CBS News.
Criminal charges: McNeil was arrested and charged with resisting a police officer without violence and driving on a suspended license .
Prosecution’s stance: The State Attorney’s Office (SAO) concluded Bowers used two instances of physical force — an open-hand strike and a punch — to gain compliance, but said the conduct did not meet the threshold for criminal prosecution.
Bowers’ arrest report did not mention the first strike, which was visible in the video, and he explained it was considered a “distraction strike” rather than a deployment of force..
McNeil’s attorneys, Ben Crump and Harry Daniels, allege:
- Excessive and unconstitutional use of force despite McNeil’s non-violent demeanor CBS News.
- Racial profiling and systemic policies allowing “illegal or excessive use of force” without accountability CBS News.
- Failure to report all uses of force, enabling brutality to go unchecked.
The lawsuit seeks:
- $100,000 in compensatory damages for physical and emotional injuries.
- $100,000 in punitive damages.
- Attorney fees and court costs.
- A jury trial.
McNeil has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and suffers PTSD-like symptoms, including nightmares and flashbacks. His attorneys are also calling for a DOJ investigation into the incident.
The case has drawn attention to tensions between the viral video evidence and official narratives, as well as to broader issues of police accountability and racial profiling.
The case is pending in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, with both sides contesting the facts and the legal standards for excessive force.

@JimW1776@mmpadellan Fuck off. No jury would convict this man. He was assaulted by the officers. This will end in a settlement. He will be paid off by taxpayer money. So you can leave, dumbfuck.
@JimW1776@mmpadellan He said the magic word "resisting," once a government official utters those magic words, the constitution becomes null and void. Just like the word terrorist. Magic words cancel all your constitutional rights in America. This is /S sarcasm, but obviously some people's reality.
@mmpadellan The lawsuit payment should come directly from the Cops Pensions, not taxpayers hard earned money... This will stop all this illegal pig behavior #LongIsland#NY
Wow, this cop's weak-ass punches did ZERO damage to this Black driver's face (dude kept saying "punch me again," LOL), but that lawsuit filed against the cop and his department will leave a mark.
Long Island cops are racist AF.
Kellyanne: Is there any number of scandals that would make you stop? Putting on with women that are not your wife? Would it be the lying? Would it be insulting heroes? Is power really worth that to you?
Federal authorities have arrested Indian-origin businessman Mahender Makhijani, accusing him of defrauding a bank out of nearly $100 million through a scheme that involved forged real estate documents and misleading financial records.
The 44-year-old man is a lawful permanent resident from India who lives in Corona del Mar, California. He was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with bank fraud. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted, reports the New York Post.

Enjoying your show.
I could have listened to Slim Jim and you talk for another 3 hours. No wonder he's "friends-of" to so many.
Going be in the Deep South?

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

The organization’s articles of incorporation made benefitting humanity a legally binding duty.
If A.I. was going to be the most powerful technology in history, it followed that any individual with sole control over it stood to become uniquely powerful—a scenario that the founders referred to as an “AGI dictatorship.”
