As he and a teammate walked back toward the field from inside the tunnel, a Texas state trooper appeared to walk between the pair, bumping shoulders with both, and then turned around and pointed at them — shouting at them in the process.
In a statement to The Athletic, the Texas Department of Public Safety said, “The DPS Trooper involved has been sent home from the game. DPS’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter.”
The scene was caught by college football fans across social media, sparking outrage in even The King himself, as LeBron James posted about the incident on X.
bizarre
I see whoever wrote this hasnever met a state trooper before.
That’s kind of bizarre. I really like the state troopers as a whole: they’re the number one authority for busting human trafficking and corruption scandals, if only because Republicans keep figuratively neutering the FBI.
EDIT: Ah wait no, I was confusing the troopers with the marshals. One is highway patrol and the other is an investigative body.
It’s only 99% of them that make the rest look bad
Actually, yk what, I was thinking of State Marshals.
Why does the NY Post of all places have the most honest headline? Like half the other headlines out there are bumps them, ESPN says points at them. Yet the New York Post is the only honest one? How odd.
Fucking pig
The video is clear. The college football player was walking through the field. While insecure cop man decides to actively fuck with him.
But why… like be real, the kid is trying to play football. What is that trooper gonna do? Write up a citation for walking incorrectly through a tunnel?? Like go police traffic violators, ppl who drive on shoulder, ppl who blow through red lights and etc…
I couldn’t imagine having a hurt hammy with a helmet on and going from a tunnel to the sun with my friends next to me…then seeing a tan dressed white man who hates me.
man
You misspelled pig.
