Nothing like a good old-fashioned riot to celebrate a national championship!

It was a good game. I did not have a favorite in the outcome.

Dude, you've got the wrong grievance. This is not a "white college students suck" thread. It's a "the police suck" thread.

Yes, and isn't it irrational of us to complain about police brutality? I mean, if we were only small government freedom-lovers like yourself, we would not dare complain about this. Good thing we have people like you to put us in our places.

We see this time and time again. Police attempts at crowd control end up creating more chaos than if they'd just stood back and observed.
The job seems to select for authoritarian personalities and an obsession with maintaining orderly behavior at all times.

And yet incidents like this are more prevalent in some eras than others, more prevalent in some nations than others.

Maybe it correlates with the degree of general aggressiveness and militarization in the various police forces. Some act like street gangs or occupying forces, others see themselves more as public servants. In most of the UK, for example, most police don't even carry firearms.

Honestly, I no longer give a fuck why it's happening. I'm just sick and tired of the fact that it is happening, and I'm sick and tired of the "small government" protofascists making excuses for acts of obvious police brutality.
