Awful lot of missing context here
If course they would have a black coon tase him. This director did nothing to warrant arrest or tasing.
Not sure we're getting the whole story as you can hear beforehand "Put him in handcuffs"
Pretty simple. Game has been over. There is no 5th quarter. Go home.
Nahhh, tell the cops "whatcha gonna do" , then play the victim.
Thats the noisiest video I have every seen/heard. Those Fridaynight football games are hell man!
What in hell did the band director do to be treated this way?!
😂😂😂I love my ppl
I see a lawsuit coming
Totally understand called for.😢
Let me get this straight. A band director is getting stun gunned by police because he encouraged the band keep playing after the game was over ( oh and it looks like the band director threw in a light show with the music)
I don’t get it.
Never trust the police
If he was white they wouldn't have done that, wtf 😒
America… wow what a country…
Really tased him 3 times for nothing
The true performance opportunities for a high school marching band are few and special. The people that stayed behind to listen the 5th Quarter were lucky to see the bands at their competitive best. Most of all, I really hope their administration understands this and that it wasnt them who shut the lights off.
Guess they didnt like his rendition of Flight of The Bumblebee?🐝⚡
Some of the female students were harassing the band leader. Why is he punished? Then the loudest girl tells the cops to stop and leave him alone. Who started this bull. The cheerleaders are still performing.
WTF America?
Also, stadium security should have handledit from start to finish. I remember BIG rivalries between schools when I was in high school. I'll bet the coach was on winning side and at rivals stadium.
WHAT WAS THE 9II DISPATCHER TOLD AND WHAT DID SHE/HE/#@÷×+ TELL THE RESPONDING COPS!!!!!!
Black Ofc on Black man, at least no one can cry racism
The crowd should have stopped that from happening
*This is on the police side
So you have a crowd of kids who are defending their teacher. Idk what this teacher did, so I cant comment on that. The director keeps on saying "get out of my face". So they try and cuff the teacher and the situation turns south when students swarm to arresting officer, it looks like the guy was pushing cops away and trying to leave with the students so the officers used less than lethal force. Then what appears the director is doing something out of the cameras view to cause the officer to use his taser again. Also this video seems cut to only show these cops "in the bad" so idk abpit this one.
This is my opinion, ik, ur opinion is so much righter than mine so no bother and commenting it. I will be changing this comment with the more evidence, info I see.
I don't get what is what besides a tazer part
