College Football News OT: Cops Use Pepper Spray On Players At Ohio State/Michigan Game

Police state?!? Did you move out of the country?

There are some places in this country where people (legal and illegal) are walking into stores and taking whatever they want and repeat offenders are getting released time after time. That's hardly a police state.

IMHO this is more of an inditement of the institutions of "higher learning" and society in general rather than the police.

If you think big-time college football has anything to do with "higher learning," you've got another guess coming.

The Michigan players instigated this, the OSU players escalated it -- idiots behaving badly on both sides. It's hard to judge if the cops overreacted, but both head coaches should've had a preemptive handle on the situation.

Weapons were brought onto the field. And used. Wasn't by the players.

Can't walk down the street without being under surveillance. Can't drive anywhere without being spotted by a camera, with someone recording and storing that information.

More of a indictment of a police state than a few acts of civil disobedience will ever rise to.

Don't believe me? Ask the police officers on this site.

Good. I hope they get them all and lock up the drunks.

I moved to NH and noticed a big difference between the police here and MA. The NH police will hide the radar in multiple spots on 93 and sometimes even have a chase car to go after the speeders. As soon as I cross into MA I don't see another cop from NH to Boston.

We need the revenue in NH

Horrible thread.

Lock it now...

Gonna go ahead and say it. They should’ve been pepper sprayed. Not complying, with something YOU THINK is trivial, is NOT to that cop. That dude fears for his life after he kisses the fam goodbye…Then the stupid ****s that don’t comply to the cops verbal commands like “get out of the car!!”They DONT have to say please or give an explanation. The ignorance and stupidity of these idiots that resist never ceases to amaze. Oh but let’s “defund” them because some ******* who thought he was owed a reason when he was pulled from the car…these morons get what they deserve. And the pepper sprayed was a bonus in this post.

Copycat flag planters. Culture of disrespect through spitting on the other teams field. Players and institution should apologize to law enforcement

This thread is surprisingly resilient.

I'm sorry, but that's ****ing ridiculous.

The police should not involve themselves with anything happening on the field. Typical overreaction by the now all too common police state we now live in.

The state law where I live prohibits cops from chasing anyone
