Just watched a Texas State Trooper aggressively body check two South Carolina football players at a game.

1. That state trooper (the one who got in between them) was thrown out and is going to be "dealt with" apparently

I didn't see it, but I read an alert about it...

6. The footage of the altercation is all over the place, on line.

That trooper needs to be fired at the earliest possible opportunity. Pretty rare to see that sort of overt, unjustified shoving by a law enforcement officer. He has no business carrying a gun and a badge. Those football players weren't doing anything out of line. Inexcusable.

10. This was, IMO, a racial thing,

notice it's 2 black players he assaulted, when the hell are these bad cops going to realize that the days of being able to pull this crap are long gone with all the cameras today.

11. I agree. I was watching the game live and immediately thought it was racist.

The players understood that too and just walked away.
Good for them.
Said to see this but not surprised when involving a Texas cop.

2. dumb cop did not jaw at the guy he actually bumped with

[RockRaven]

4. He hit a guy with his left arm, so when he turned around he went at the guy on his left.

He knows his left from his right! You can't fool him!

3. Cops at college football games (esp. in the south) think they're the main character.

One particularly obvious manifestation is the handful who act as bodyguards for a head coach during the on-field post-game stuff. Watch how they purposely stage themselves just so behind the coach and sideline reporter so they can peacock on camera without sight line obstruction. Their priority plainly is posing, not security.

15. The cops you see at the games are the ones with senority and rank

It's a prestige position. This guy just lost that.
Good.

5. Cop was stupid. He has been thrown off of game duty. A&M Whoop!!

[Bread and Circuses]

7. Racist, small 🍄‍🟫energy.

[Srkdqltr]

8. Idiot. Those players could have taken him apart.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Thought The Same

Young, amazingly fit, fast twitch athletes wearing padding, armor & a helmet?
They'd have pulverized him.
That cop is really dumb.

[CanonRay]

13. They're kids, 19-20 with more self control than the cop

Good on them.

[bluestarone]

12. He'll act exactly like that when making stops on the streets.

Needs to be FIRED and arrested for assault! Look deeply at anything previous. I bet there is lots of interesting stuff in this asshole files.

14. Racist POS nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. Inexcusable

[LudwigPastorius]

17. Aww...

Now he'll never get promoted to Walker Texas Ranger.
