Vandergraft High School in Austin, Texas made a historic soccer win on Saturday. The Lady Vipers took home the state title. Naturally, students swarmed the field in victorious fervor.
But an unnamed Georgetown Police Officer didn’t like that display of good cheer. He is caught on camera tripping a female, attempting to trip another, kicking, pushing down two other girls and in one video, violently grabbing a young man.
He also had no qualms openly abusing students in front of crowds of people and cameras.
State-sanctioned violence, apparently. We aren’t holding our breath for the investigation.
Suffice it to say, though, a lot of parents and some students found the officer’s behavior abhorrent and don’t understand it.
Here is some footage from the student, Rohan Gupta, mentioned in the news piece above:
