A Texas State Trooper forgot to put the vehicle in park after jumping out to confront a dirt bike rider in downtown Austin... via: orion.atx | Smash Da Topic

A Texas state trooper was pulled from his Kyle Field assignment after bumping and pointing at South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor and his teammates following an 80-yard touchdown. This wasn’t a “misunderstanding.” It’s a mirror of a dangerous culture—where a cop’s reflex isn’t to protect, but to intimidate. To confront, harass, even brutalize young Black men whose confidence reads as defiance. The badge convinces him he’s above them, not among them. He forgot he was at a game. | Lee Merritt

A Texas state trooper bumped into Oscar Adaway III and wedged between him and Nyck Harbor, and then turned and pointed at the players, seemingly scolding them. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said the trooper was sent home from the game. The department’s Office of Inspector General is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter. Link in bio for more 🔗 | ESPN
