Beyond The Sideline

Tune in live on Wednesday, November 19, for a special episode at 6 PM CST. 7PM EST. Streaming live on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. On You And The Law Podcast, with my guest, Carl King II, host of Open Mic on the Caliedascope Radio Network. We will unpack the viral video clip featuring a Texas DPS Trooper that has sparked widespread public outrage. How has social media shaped the perception of law enforcement after this incident?

The video shows the trooper intentionally making physical contact with the South Carolina wide receiver, who had just scored an 80-yard touchdown, and grabbed his hamstring as he ran into the tunnel. As the player was running back onto the field, the trooper turned towards the players and pointed a finger at one, and appeared to be upset. What prompted this trooper to confront a college football student-athlete?
