None of those players have ever been in any legal trouble, so not sure what you’re insinuating there
I’m insinuating it’s no different to assume you’d know how a cop acts “on the streets” based on prior experience with completely different cops. It’s no different than saying those guys are entitled bc other football players are.

[quote]I certainly wouldn’t file for assault if I was playing a football game and a pissed-off cop yelled at me or my family. Taking this to court is just insane. And yes, I’ll say it again. It’s stupid. If that player was my brother, I’d tell him to stop being dumb and go do something you enjoy.[/.
The idiot didn’t just yell, he through a shoulder which is assault on the streets. Why anyone allows a representative of the state ANY allowance for misconduct while working in the capacity of representing the state is not a mystery….the folks who dismiss it are fine as long as it ain’t them being abused by the state. If you’re OK with the actions of this moron you also have to be OK with an IRS employee delving into the tax returns of the person who cut them off in traffic on the way to work without any authority and based on their feelings of anger. If it’s OK for cops it’s OK for ATF and IRS agents to misbehave based on feelings.

The guy lost his job, that’s enough punishment. He did a stupid thing, but it doesn’t rise to the level of assault.
firstly, he lost his OT gig working the games, not his job
secondly, if a player did that to a cop outside of the stadium he would get an assault charge...so yes it does. Everyone in Texas should be happy this is happening. A cop with anger issues like that shouldn't be given power over yall. Then again, it's out of sight, out of mind until its your car on the side of the road with a power tripping cop

Per source from SC, players were scared and didn't play well the 2nd half.

What exactly do you think people are wishing for? Wild West with no law?? No. Authority that doesn’t abuse their authority and yes they are held to a higher standard. Some can’t handle it and shouldn’t be doing the job.

Officers are held to a lower standard which is the purpose and intent of qualified immunity preventing accountability in civil actions. The officer mistake rarely costs the officer any $$$ while normal citizens pay $$$.
This trooper will claim qualified immunity to avoid paying any settlement.
