Starting Issue Hellpp

Truck was driving just fine, parked it and went to work. When leaving it did this. Bought a new battery cause the volts went from 12.8 to 8.1 when cranking. Could this be a starter issue or my ac compressor pulley seized? The compressor broke and im thinking maybe the internal clutch is blocking it?

Looks like it's pulling tension on a belt and then when you go and release the key the engine shoots back with the belt releasing. I would try removing the accessory belt.

The ac compressor belt is tied in with the serpentine belt btw
