On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators squared off in a game that could have severely affected who would win the SEC.
Georgie would end up coming out on top, winning 34-20, but not after going into the halftime trailing by six.
Unfortunately, the bigger headline is some of what happened in the stands between Florida fans and members of the local police department.
The first concerning video is of a man arguing with police while seated. The conversation doesn’t seem to be superheated or threatening for anybody, but suddenly, a police officer tasers the man.
Of course, the man stands up in shock, continuing to argue, when he is once again tasered. One officer starts hitting the man in the head until two come together and put him in handcuffs while using enough force to rip the fan’s shirt open.
Police arrest videos what I’ve heard:
1) The taser one was first in time. The officer used his handcuffs to gain compliance. That was unwarranted and a felony in my opinion. He was not reported for this use of force and allowed to continue his overtime shift.
2) The video… pic.twitter.com/SVDgTa3sTU

The second video, which may be even worse, shows two officers giving a beating to two fans.
One of the victims was an older Florida fan who took several huge blows to the head from an officer who looked completely defenseless.
The other fan is seen lying on the ground and getting punched in the face multiple times while trying to block the police officer from the continuous blows and protect himself.
Social Media Is Now Calling Out the Police Officers For Their Actions At Georgia-Florida Game
Many on social media think that the officers in both videos took things way too far and should face some sort of punishment,
Well, there’s am ex cop.

Wow, this is gotten out of hand. An embarrassment for the city and JSO.

Of course, the force used doesn’t look good for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office members, and they could face serious repercussions.
