Video shows JSO officers hit man’s face, break car window during Feb. traffic stop

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said it has launched an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding an incident that may have occurred in February, but was shown in a video posted to social media early Sunday morning.  In the video, JSO officers can be seen breaking a car window, hitting a man in his face, and pulling him out of his car following a traffic stop that the agency says is represented to have taken place on Feb. 19.  “We are aware of a video circulating on social media showing a traffic stop represented to be from February 19, 2025,” JSO said. “We hold our officers to the highest standards and are committed to thoroughly determining exactly what occurred.”
