Disorderly conduct. They can slap that on just about anything they want, and then at that point can follow up with the typical resisting arrest, causing a disturbance, etc etc bullshit
It's hard to pin "disorderly conduct" on a band at a football game during the scheduled hours. Who can reasonably be negatively affected by that?
Plus this is the band director. He's not even playing music. Unless he's fighting someone or swearing at someone, there's no way his conduct can be disorderly.
He's going to get a payout from a settlement, almost guaranteed.
One thing that I haven't been able to glean from reading up on this incident was the exact reason the cops were trying to stop the performance. Was there an emergency and they had to clear everyone out? Not to imply the excessive escalation was justified, it isn't imo, just wondering what set these officers out on stopping him in the first place.
The article i read yesterday just said that the game was over, cops were trying to clear the stadium. They asked the bands to stop playing so that people would leave quicker (?). This band director refused.
Huh. I would think that having everyone leave quicker would be more likely to cause an emergency than to prevent one. But also, like, the band practiced for this and the school (?) I'm guessing, gave the green light to go ahead and have the band play at the game. The least they could be allowed to do is finish their performance that they've been practicing.
"All right! More band music! Let's never leave!," exclaimed the football fans.
This guy got fucked over, people who didn't do anything wrong are gonna pay him a lot of money for it, the criminal cop who assaulted him to maintain the cop's ego will get, at worst, a paid vacation.
Do you remember what was the deal?
Sports game ended, the bands of both teams kept playing while fans left. Cops walked up and demanded they both stop for some reason even though it's standard for them to play at the end of the game. Other team stopped, his didn't, so for some reason they tased and arrested him.
I was quoting Don McLean, but thank you very much for the synopsis!
Those frames make her look like Lone Ranger.
