This happens way too often. There was a video from Dallas on Thanksgiving where security had a Panthers fan in an all out choke hold and another fan had to remove the security guard from choking.

Thankfully they aren't armed....
:eek:
 
Those CSC Yellow Jackets and acting like a bunch of balloon knots seems vaguely familiar.....
 
Quick epilogue and resolution to the situation.

Security company has been fired.
 
Why let some fans run past but tackled and assault others? Just seems bizarre. No formation just wandering around seeming to target random fans.

Because that's what rent-a-cops with little training and less oversight do?
 
Yeah, just a bit over-the-top. Jayzus!
 
Sort of reminds me of the old days in the Orange Bowl down in Miami. You would go to games, see fans getting into it (Dolphins and Jets being a good example) and then the cops would sweep in. These guys were 1980's/early 90's steroid monsters. You did not want to get into it with them for any reason and there wasn't a lot of accountability back then, so you were screwed if something did happen.
 
UConn had its fans pepper sprayed after the final home game at Memorial Stadium when the students tried to take the field.

Good times in Storrs. No one was fired. Much worse than Houston.

Ha, I was not far away from where that picture was taken (actually, from the view I may have been near the photographer). Could not believe it when the pepper spray came out.
 
Crazy that a stadium and program that hasn't ever expirenced that would react that way? We've won big games here at The Rent, and when its appropriate storming the field to celebrate is expected and allowed. Why wouldn't UofH known this might happen, and prepare for that?

You got to watch out in Dallas. As a cowboys fan who's goes to one game a year, the opposing fans act horrible. Went to the eagles game a couple of weeks ago and there fans were getting in my face. Same happened when I saw them play the Chargers. I could understand if I was in Philly cheering for the Cowboys but if I'm in Cowboys Stadium I want to cheer for my team.

Weren't the goalposts ripped down? Not that I'm condoning pepper spray.........

No. The combo of pepper spray and attack dogs kept the peace and those crazy hooligans were sent on their way. I thought that day was my low point as a UConn football fan, never anticipating the abyss of the Pepperoni Deleone years

They were down later that evening. I remember walking by the field that night and seeing the goalposts gone. Not sure who ended up taking them (students or taken down by staff) but they weren't there by that evening.

Is that autocorrect or intentional? Either way, that's fantastic!!

Not just rent a cops, and I wouldn't be surprised if many are off duty and retired cops.

Is the kid in the maroon jacket freakishly tall, or being carried?

Not a Cowboys fan; but, if I rushed the field, I would try to make at least one pass at one of the cheerleaders ;) Now that's worth getting put into a choke-hold by security.
