I have watched the video more than I probably needed to in order to give the officer the benefit of the doubt. First, the players have no duty to move out of the way. Second, what was the raising the arms to strike a blow all about by the officer. Third, why is the officer pointing at the players like this is his tunnel and that the players need to get out of there all about. Nah man, that officer was out of pocket and he probably has done much worse when cameras are not on him on the street.

What? I wasn't thinking about football. I practice law and people get sued all the time over much less than what that officer did. I admit it. I am the litigious type. I, also, have very little patience for law enforcement taking advantage of their badge with little microaggressions thinking you can't do anything. Yes, I have lit officers up for stuff like this on the street all the time.
The bolded part is very telling. The players have no duty to move out of the way, but apparently the officer does.
The raising of the arm was after the cop was bumped into by multiple players. The pointing was after the fact as well. Really, you should watch the video. (This sounds familiar, I remember telling you to watch the video of the wnba players being "harrassed" and you wouldnt then either.)
But you've moved on from watching him get run into by a group of players and now you've convicted him of doing "much worse". Based on absolutley nothing.
You should be embarrassed to accuse others of "defending the officer at all cost" when you offer such a lame argument. But I know you have no shame in you when you sense a chance to play victim.
Oh, I totally missed the widening of the stance part.
Someone get Al Sharpton on the phone!!!!!!!!! A whitey widened his stance!!!!
I think youre wrong on one thing. Its not about gamecock glasses (although that probably plays a part).
You had it right when you pointed it out before. He's a cop, and he's white. It doesnt go any deeper than that.
Did you notice the players widen their stances?
At best, you have three guys who didn't get out of each other's way. To call it assault is laughable.
I can tell from here, you're widening your stance at me. I'll sue!!!
As I understand it, "stance widening" has its roots in slave culture. Slave owners would widen their stance and bump into slaves, causing them to make mistakes in their work and incur punishment.
I agree it isn't a great look for Adaway. Even he wanted to, can’t punch a uniformed police officer, so that isn’t exactly comparing apples to apples.
As I said before, I would wouldn’t sue. I think it is petty. The officer followed them up that tunnel and initiated contact. Is that worth being sued for money, I don’t think so either. But it ain’t like that guy was exactly innocent
....and your responses tell me you know very little about the law. The officer is the professional here. First, he was out on the field when Harbor ran into the tunnel. What is he following him for. He knew multiple players followed Harbor into the tunnel. He would be hard pressed to say that he didn't see the players. Finally, if he did nothing wrong why was he removed from duties? I guess we as a society are all snowflakes then. Only on Gamecock Central will you find people that defend law enforcement over their own players in a case where the players did nothing wrong. SMH. Even 18 had better sense than to defend the officer here. He just said at first that he needed to let it go. Lurker, you are on another level. ...and now since you can't be right, let's make it racial. Lurker, you know if LaNorris Sellers pushed you, you would be knocking me over to get the Clerk's Office.
You can see Harbour, at least begin to move right as this douchebag widens his elbows out to make contact. Stop being retarded.
Everyone in this thread is making assumptions, including you. The Texas DPS Office of Inspector General is investigating the incident and the officer. The OIG's findings will dictate a level of accountability. That accountability could include anything from a letter of reprimand, a demotion, a temporary suspension, and possibly dismissal. If the facts warrant it, it could also mean a criminal referral. Or it could result in nothing at all. It's a legal administrative process that will take more time to conclude than most bystanders would think is reasonable. But like anybody who is the subject of a legal inquiry, I'm sure the officer has counsel and has been advised not to say a word to anybody about it - to include an apology to the involved players.
You show little understanding of the law too, even though you claim to be a lawyer.
Now, you say even 18 "had better sense" than to defend the officer. Yet just a few posts ago, you claimed he was defending the officer at all cost.
Which is it? Seriously, which whine are going with? Because I feel like you just make **** up from one post to another without any thought of being realistic or consistent.
And of course you want to make it a racial argument. You're literally the walking cliche for that around here.
You're so worried about which race people are, and which team a player plays for, try worrying about what actually happened first.
Ill simply suggest you go watch the video again. No one has to argue that the officer did nothing wrong in order to laugh off the "assault" charge. But reality isn't your strong suit.
I will commend you for actually quoting and replying to the correct poster this time. That very low bar is still an improvement for you.
This can't be real. It has to be satire.
"After the incident, Adaway said he spoke with South Carolina’s team psychiatrist about the incident.
“I’m staying strong, man,” Adaway said. “It was just a big incident for, one, my people and, two, for humankind. ... It was kind of awful seeing that on national television, especially from a person with that type of authority.”

He needed psychiatric help after getting bumped into? lol Please tell me this all some kind of satirical thing.
Him being briefly bumped into is a big incident for humankind???? I guess he didn't take Western Civ in the decade he's been in school.

Okay, it sounds like you actually watched the video.
Was there room for the officer to get by? He made no move to go sideways.
But did the players? They certainly didn't leave enough room for the officer to get by.
Taking off the race baiting, and garnet colored glasses, at best you had 3 guys who walked into each other in a lame, d!ck measuring contest.

For humankind???????
That really read like the Babylon Bee. I had to look back to make sure it wasn't a satire site.
That statement to me, reads like a statement youre coached to say when youre angling for a settlement.
Has trouble sleeping? Laughable.
What's missing is did the cop intentionally walk into the guys for no reason besides harassment?
If you look at the vid, why did the cop stop and walk towards Harbor after he pointed his finger?
If he was actually going somewhere, he would have not turned and walked back towards the players and followed them.
See for yourself.
I get that. The easiest answer, before him wanting to attack a football player on national TV, and on camera, is that he went back there to clear the players out of the tunnel.
I did see a fan walking in the tunnel. I wouldnt be surprised if he claims fan safety or something.
Imho, not one of the three of them got out of the others' way.
And if Adaway had turned around and bowed up in the guy's face? Then what? It was Adaway's fault for not walking away?
I guarantee everyone who complains about Adaway's case here would think a lot differently if they had just scored a TD and a black cop follows them into the tunnel (from under the goalposts), purposely bumps into them and then barks something at them. You snowflakes would be melting right down into a puddle of alligator tears for the humiliation. Crying about how bad reverse-discrimination has been. How CRT and DEI have ruined this country. How if we could just go back to the 1950s, we be so much better off.
Could have easily been solved if the guy who was clearly in the wrong had just apologized. Instead he's probably got a GoFundMe account like the Cinnabon lady has.

And if you didn't know this whole thread was all about race, now there's proof.
To be fair, this thread is about Adaway filing a lawsuit. The TX judiciary will do it's thing, which is a human resources matter.
Adaway claiming that he was abused/assaulted is another. Does this rise to the level of assault? Probably not. But good on the kid for standing up for himself.
At the very least the optics of this are horrible for the officer himself and for whatever branch of TX law enforcement he represents. I'm sure the vast majority of them (like all law enforcement) do their jobs in a professional manner. It's always the ones - on both sides - that make it more difficult for everyone else.
I've been bumped into by cops, I've even been yelled at by cops. Been harassed by them on more than one occasion.
My reaction wasn't predicated by what color they were.
That's right. A white cop stalking two young black men and trying to provoke them into an altercation. Glad you recognize that.
And they purposely bumped into you while you were minding your own business as part of a sanctioned activity where you were one of the participants in that activity?
That's not what I said, but when you have to make up things to argue one side, reading into comments isn't far behind.
"Stalking"? Lol
No. I'd like to hear what the activity was and what you were doing when you were bumped into.
But that's not an answer. That's an invented justification. You don't "clear players out of the tunnel" by bumping/shoving them, then turning around and jawing with them.
If the LE guy had any kind of answer, he would have never been suspended.
Anyone with any reasonable objectivity, sees this for what it is: redneck cop showing his azz. Happens all the time, sometimes with tragic outcomes.
Could have had a reason. I stated a completely sane and sensible one a couple posts ago.
And I'm a fan of Occam's Razor.
Geez be a man. Process and move on. Your character is on display when you look for a money grab from something so insignificant. I've been verbally assaulted, sexually assaulted by men and women in a workplace and I just processed and moved on. Be a strong man. This proves you are weak.
That's actually a completely reasonable answer.
I dont know the cop well enough to know if hes a redneck or not. I didn't realize you knew him personally.
And what difference does that make? If I'm moving equipment or running messages, does my task determine if I'm allowed to be bumped into?
