How’d the guy get demoted and deployed before he finished at West Point? Please don’t tell me it was the result of being hurt and not being able to play football.
It explains it in the article. A police report was forwarded to West Point and they thought his behavior was unbecoming.
While the guy was still unconscious, the Houston PD contacted the Academy and told them that one of their cadets was involved in a violent crime. They busted him and expelled him before anyone heard his side of the story.
