Yes it is. I received a text from somebody at the game. The student was sober and not provoking anybody - none of them are. Unless you count "Fire Currie!" as a provocation. In which case, that would make you a communist.

Well somebody is lying to somebody. I got a message that said the kid was drunk as a skunk and belligerent.

Probably got drunk and was being obnoxious. One time my senior year we were playing Alabama and some drunk Tennessee fan just turned around and slugged an Alabama fan in the face for no reason. Busted the guys noseup pretty good. I had to help him to the bathroom to wash up. People are douches.

I want Currie and Davenport gone as much as the next guy, but if this was during the game, i feel its a little disrespectful to our BBall players. Before the game, fine... but during, not so much.

That is not how the first amendment works. No threats were made in the chant. What are we going to have a list of approved chants now?

Evidence supports this. Can clearly see the kid buck and try to get out of the cop's grip prior to the slam.

Agree 100%. Also agree with what you said a minute ago. I get people want Currie fired. I get it. But to shoot this video on Twitter saying "This is what happens when you say Fire Currie"is not only a lie but a damn embarrassment to the University that most of us love. Don't understand why people can't grasp that.

You resist and YOU WILL GET TAKEN DOWN. No matter who you are. It’s just too dangerous for law enforcement not to. I’d like to know what REALLY happened.....based on this video no law suit here....

I hope all three are fired. This is blatant police brutality. Stop sympathizing with dictators. This is ****ing America. College kids have a right to be pissed at Currie. They weren't Currie g or anything. They were just chanting.

Was it ever verified that an announcement was made over the PA to refrain from the chant? If true that is just jacked up !

I thought we covered the "court of public opinion" lesson already?

If you are in law enforcement, as much as your job sucks (and TYFYS)....in this day and age ANY hint of abuse is just not a good look...

While the guy was clearly resisting arrest, UT is beginning to feel more like a Communist dictatorship than a university.

maybe a little over the top but police brutality ?? Really? If you are told do do something and resist they are going to use force to get their point across.

Looked like cop in back stepped on his foot and tripped him then cop in front slammed him because of it!

Ok, so what is the cop supposed to do? Let the drunk kid run back onto the court? Take your "Fire Currie" blinders off FFS.

No, the University threatening to remove fans for speech based on its content (which was neither vulgar nor threatening) is embarassing. This is not China or North Korea.
