Got beat on the embed.  Anyways, I've spent the past minute trying to see exactly how that guy got decked.  He's got a good story to tell to his grandkids.

I'm sure there will be a "We'll miss you, Brady!" banner in the Horseshoe this year, probably in that ugly concrete pile in EL, too. It would be nice to finally once again have a Michigan coach who won't be "missed" by rival fanbases.

I really appreciate you guys doing the embed. 

 

I just am trying to make a few smiles since everyone is in the dumps. 

 





The ones with dark shirts are Alabama State Troopers. The one in the lighter colored shirt behind Saban I don't know about. That may be Mississippi or it may be a captain or something and they wear different shirts. I would guess MS if I had to because the patch on the left arm is different than the Alabama ones.

Hooray unnecessary police brutality?

Seriously, are you celebrating this? Offering it up as a joke?

Is there another angle that makes this look like a justified use of force rather than a cop punching an excited person for no good reason?

For the split second that we somewhat see what's going on, it does appear that he seems caught off guard when he finds himself in front of some policemen and Saban.  In other words, it could plausibly be a complete accident that he got in their way.  But we don't know that; College kids also make stupid decisions and he may have been gunning for them all along.

Regardless, let's not forget that running onto a field or court, while it may be rite of passage, is technically not allowed and that by doing so, you maybe opening the door to punishment or bodily harm in some form or another.  Not justifying someone harming another or attempting to shift blame altogether, but I'm saying it's something that can be potentially avoided by following the rules

The guy was running directly to Saban in a pretty chaotic situation.  The cops prevented him from potentially hitting/tackling/spitting on/yelling at Saban.  They are making split second decisions, and they cannot make out the intentions of some guy coming at the person that they are meant to protect.  They did a good job here.  If you are going to rush the field, stay away from coaches and players (especially from the opposing team).

Because state employed pigs have nothing better to do than bully average people? Surprised they didn't have their fire hoses and German shepards out, since it is Mississippi. Guess there were no minorities to rough up at Ole Miss.
