That bump changed the whole outcome of the game. We didn't do S after that.
Adaway files criminal complaint against trooper from the A&M game
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan
- Start date
Actually, it's about the filing of a criminal complaint. Adaway may very well file a lawsuit, but the title of the thread is consistent with the articles I have seen that said he filed a criminal complaint.
To be clear, my reminder about the OIG investigation was not an endorsement of either "side" of this story, but to point out that the narrative that the officer hasn't been held accountable is probably premature. There is a process and it (usually) works.
You are right about the terrible optics and I am sure his chain of command sh** a brick when they saw the video. I'd be very surprised if he skates by unscathed from the encounter.
The word you're looking for starts with a "D" and ends in "rats"
It is what it is. Reality. Facts. But, we're not allowed to talk about it. Much.
The cop was a complete a$$ and knew exactly what he was doing.
And I am about as pro LEO as they come.
But I still have eyes and realize that they sometime make bad decisions. He initiated the contact and then absolutely turned around and tried to cause an issue. He was pissed SC players were celebrating in "his" tunnel.
Harbor handled it amazingly well.
If you can't see that, you are blind.

Don't disagree. But there is a wide chasm between cops being a-holes and charging them with assault.
I agree with this completely but let me take you down a rabbit hole if you agree with my original statement. When I first read the assault claim I thought that same thing. It is absolutely ridiculous to clam assault for what transpired if that is really your motive.
But then I read somewhere that SC tried to get the name of the officer from Texas A&M and Texas A&M public safety and they refused to give it up. I do believe I read that or something similar.
So maybe (and this is all speculation on my part) Adaway is just pissed off at the situation and wants the call out the LEO and is doing it in the only way made available to him. The rabbit hole part is that you have to almost imagine a John Grisham novel where LEOs can get away with anything. This is Texas A&M after all so it may not be that much of a stretch. So maybe what he did was an attempt to try to force the LEO to apologize or to make restitution in some form. In fact, I believe that Adaway's lawyer just said that one of the reasons for filing with the DA was to get the name of the LEO.
Who knows and I am sure many will disagree with me.
