That's a NoNo all you PoPo

College football season is here. Instead of seeing my Appalachian State Mountaineers crush Jacksonville by a final score of 56-7, I went with my friend and his family to see ECU destroy West Virginia. Amazing game and it would have been an amazing celebration if it weren't for the Police. When your football team starts the season off by beating the #18 team and then dominates the #8 team in the nation, you should be allowed to storm the field when you are not used to that kind of success. Instead, the cops were tackling students, throwing punches, and just being complete jerks. I mean come on, do you really think 30 something officers can hold back a couple thousand students? Security was informed that if the students tried to rush the field that law enforcement should try to deter them by making themselves visible and if that failed they were to just back off and let it happen. I guess making yourself visible means throwing punches at someone who is already on the ground as you will see here. Let the students celebrate. Here's another video for your viewing pleasure.
