Just found out about this. We don't invite people to our home and treat them like sheet.

Prospective Texas A&M students should know: the University Police & the police in College Station have become highly aggressive, prioritizing minor tickets against students over actual crime prevention. This revenue-focused enforcement creates a hostile rather than protective environment. Consider this carefully before enrolling. Things need to change. This national embarrassment might be the exposure we need to help enact real change.


I thought this was about TX-DPS.

Thoughts and prayers to the SC players involved. Will be interesting to see if they're even able to play next week. Thank goodness no one was severely wounded.

Did the trooper have his own car or did he uber home?

He floated home easily by just venting some hot air.

Anyone notice the ghey boy in white overalls knock the ball out of his hands before he made it to the tunnel? Makes us look like a soft AF fanbase.

Am I the only one thinks this isn't a big deal?. I mean the cop was a tool. But is it a slow news day?


It isn't a big deal.

The players shouldn't have ran up into that tunnel. No business being up there. But the trooper should have turned around when they came on out of the tunnel.

Also not seen is the kid that scored the TD ran up to a yell leader and shoved the ball at him, before heading on into the tunnel.

he did not shove the ball at the leader, stop making stuff up. Yell leader also pulled a d-bag move. I get we like to give our own the benefit of the doubt, but the cop and yell leader were both 1000% wrong with what both of them did in what I can only assume was out of frustration to the game. Either way, gotta be better than that.

A prima donna getting away with something they know not to do… who gets a taste of their own behavior… isn't going to get any sympathy from me. Now you decide who the prima donna(s) are in this situation.

Doesn't matter. He used physical violence to escalate a situation that involved an NCAA rules violation. That's not a misdemeanor. It's not a crime. It's not a violation of any law. At BEST it's a civil issue that A&M would pursue against USC. He is LAW ENFORCEMENT officer, not an NCAA rules enforcement officer. He was likely off-duty and working a detail to earn extra money. The USC players were leaving the tunnel, which meant the rules violation was over/ending. At MOST he should have just stopped them and said "Hey guys, A&M has asked me not let you guys run into the tunnel during regulation play. Please don't do that again. Good luck. Great game. Thanks guys. I appreciate your help." or something like that. I used to be a cop. My dad was cop. My grandfather was a cop. My great grandfather was a cop. That trooper should NOT be in law enforcement. He is combination of Barney Fife and Cartman. Those types of law enforcement officers are really not common anymore because most large agencies now use psychological tests to weed them out. But the ones who behave like that, that do remain on duty, give all the good cops out there a really bad name. As a 4th generation LAW enforcement officer, I was disgusted, appalled and embarrassed by his behavior.

They didn't break any law. At best they violated an NCAA rule. That trooper is a LAW enforcement officer. Not an NCAA rules enforcement officer. Guy does not need to be in law enforcement.

IMHO, neither player made an effort to allow the Trooper pass between them. I suspect they were the real aggressors...even if it was moderately passive.

It is sad. I'm 4th generation law enforcement - straight back father/son. I was disgusted, appalled and embarrassed by his behavior. Most agencies have started using psychological tests to weed out candidates that exhibit that type of behavior. So, it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. What really pisses me off about situations like that, is that there are SO many good people in law enforcement. Behavior like that gives all the good cops a really bad reputation. That trooper is not mentally fit to be a law enforcement officer.

I'm all for backing all law enforcement, but this guy is an idiot. He pulled this stunt on national TV in front of 100,000+ people… imagine what he's like when no one's watching.

4th generation law enforcement officer here. Straight back - me, my father, his father, his father. Those USC players didn't "square up" at all. That trooper used physical violence to escalate a situation that involved a CIVIL matter (an NCAA rules violation). He's an embarrassment to LEO community. LEOs like that trooper, give the 95% of good LEOs a bad reputation. I hope he is fired. I'm guessing you're an LEO too. I'll bet you money: He was making bank working a cush detail; He's probably a legacy State Trooper; That's why he got the detail; and that nothing will happen to him because of his connections. If you are an LEO too, you and I both know that if UPD/B-CSPD removed him, they HAD to remove him. You and I both know, they didn't want to. You and I both know they HAD to. They HAD to because what he did was CLEARLY inappropriate.

Cop shouldn't have done that, but you're just as bad as this guy labeling a mild shoulder check into someone, who is heavily protected, as violent. That is not violence. Then calling for your brother in arms to get fired over it… Good grief dude.

Checking in. Cops, State Troopers, Texas Rangers, Sheriffs, DHS, TSA, ICE/HSI, Secret Service, one are above the law. I've had run ins with all of those groups and never been arrested.

If I'm not breaking the law I have no problem telling them to pound sand if I feel like they are infringing on my rights.


*Except game wardens. I'll never mess with a game warden on purpose.

A pretty dumb situation, but I highly doubt anybody is getting fired for this.

The cop that clung to Scottie Scheffler's car, whomped him with a flashlight, and then arrested him still has his job.

I think Tunnel Cop making an appearance in SEC Shorts means we can finally put this to rest, lock the thread, and move on.

Not true. #27 had moved to his right and Harbor had shifted a little to his left. There was enough space for the trooper to pass if he would have turned his shoulders.

Because this video starts a couple seconds after the players clearly move and create space for him to go between.

Tell us whatthehey, in your humble opinion, why was the LEO even tying to pass the players? The players were coming out - there was no need for the LEO to even leave the field and go into the tunnel, was there? And he did make himself "wide" and even elbow both players, didn't he?

Red Stick, there's not a better judge of a LEO than another LEO. We pedestrians have to depend on you to thin the herd and get rid of bad apples. I actually get a little mad at good cops letting people like this hang around.

Trooper was on duty.

And glad redstick isn't a cop anymore because he jumped to conclusions that are incorrect.

Barney Fife would have been knocked down by those two football players that were much larger than him.
