VIDEO -- Uniformed Police Officer Caught Tripping Students Rushing to Field to Celebrate a State Championship

From KTBC-TV in the people’s republic of Austin.

Rohan Gupta, a student at Vandegrift High School, posted the video to YouTube. The Vandegrift girls soccer won their first state championship beating Wile 1-0.

As the clock hit zero, students jumped out of the stands and on to the field. Over the loud speakers the announcer can be heard telling the crowd to stay of the field.

Watch the lower right side of your screen at about 8-seconds into the video to see the officer apparently trip one young man, who ends up limping off the field. The officer  tries to trip a second person, then grabs another.

It looks like assault to me.
