Southern discomfort Cops pummel fans at Georgia-Florida football game in wild video
Nypost ^ | 11/03/2024 | Andrew Crane

The Georgia-Florida college football game took an ugly turn in the EverBank Stadium stands Saturday when two police officers repeatedly punched different fans in an aisle.

It’s unclear what caused it to begin in the first place and whether any arrests followed, but during a 15-second clip posted to X, one police officer threw three punches at a fan who was already on the ground, while another police officer punched another fan at least seven times before eventually wrestling him to the concrete.

A third police officer was shown in the clip away from the other two, but he didn’t appear to punch anyone.

I’m very curious to hear details about that. First look, it looked to me more like a beat down than a legitimate police action.

Now imagine if the races were reversed. We’d never hear the end of it.

As a graduate of UF who has attended around 30 Fla/Ga games over the years.

The game is unique because the tickets are divided up 50/50 between the two schools, meaning over 40,000 of each school’s fans are in attendance.

For years the game has been known as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”, people get crazy drunk at the game.

On Tuesday before the game every year, RV’s line up to begin tailgating before the game on Saturday, literally hundreds of RVs are tailgating all week, the media calls the gathering of the RVs “RV CITY”.

When you combine the passion of each team’s fans with all the drinking you have a crowd that is always on the edge of being out of control, the cops are dealing with this all week.

Not excusing the cops in this situation, it would be extremely hard for any police force to keep the situation completely under control, once all the facts are know, I bet the guy getting the crap beaten out of him likely was blind drunk, fighting other fans and the cops and the cops being undermanned pummeled the guy to get him under control, not excusing it but this type of thing happens frequently at this game.

It sure looked like a lot of Florida fans must have sold their tickets to Georgia fans.

We haven’t heard anything about what the fans did that caused such a rage-fueled beat-down by the cops. It makes one think the cops are trying to come up with a good excuse.

I’ve seen the video of the cops pummeling the two guys, but nothing about what they did to cause it.

I’ve heard that multiple times, it’s same field Georgia was playing on, and they didn’t have any issues, it’s the same field NFL teams play on regularly without issue.

Nah, it looks like that every year, especially when you are watching on TV.

Read my response #12 in this thread, the fans are divided 50/50, they get crazy drunk, throw in the passion many fans have for college football, fights are common.

I’m sure over time the facts will come out, the likely situation is the fans were fighting with other fans and the cops are undermanned, to get the fans under control, the cops started pummeling a couple of them.

As a graduate of FSU and having been to a Florida Georgia game in the distant past you are correct. Its a booze fueled brawl waiting to happen everytime. God only knows the verbal abuse thrown at those cops before they snapped. 😆
