GP's recognition of the fans reminds me of another TCU coach. Remember how Billy Tubbs would come over to the visitor's section after a winning away game and applaud the TCU fans and otherwise recognize their effort?
They have a tough job sometimes, so let them abuse their power every now and again to relieve their stress. Sense.Land Frog said:Please quit bashing the police unless you know all the details. They have a tough job and put a bullet proof vest on each day when they go to work. Life is dangerous in their line of work.
Police officers need to be able to control their environment for their own safety and the safety of others. If poo were to hit the fan in a stadium environment it could be devastating. My seats are near the student section because I like the atmosphere but that doesn't mean students can do whatever they want.
Just try being in their shoes before you judge. You nor I know what happened there or other times.Danny Adelante said:They have a tough job sometimes, so let them abuse their power every now and again to relieve their stress. Sense.

Most officers are wonderful. Some, not so much. I'm sorry to say that life experience has given me a short leash with any officer that comes close to stepping over his authority.Land Frog said:Wow. The way some of you despise police officers is sad. Most officers use off duty jobs to supplement their income to pay for things their families need since off duty pay is higher than duty pay. Fortunately, an officer does ask how you feel about them before they serve the community. They serve to keep people safer. I will continue to thank them for what they do.
Look, I already said I don't have a beef with them working the cushy overtime gigs. I would too. I also don't "despise police officers" as a group, which is the implication of your comment. There were probably a half dozen cops in and around that area of the student section that didn't think it was worth stepping into that situation. Those are the good ones. The cops are there to serve and protect, but this particular cop wasn't serving anybody but himself and he wasn't protecting anybody from anything dangerous either. He was just being a [ Finebaum ] b/c he felt like it.Land Frog said:Wow. The way some of you despise police officers is sad.
