San Diego cops arrest NY Jets fan for cheering his team

[yt]wJqd_5fC7ZI[/yt]

Jets Fans arrested at the Jets vs Chargers game for chanting Jets. Guy gets arrested early in the 3rd Quarter before they even started winning. I was surprised as everyone else in the video that he was taken away. This guy was obnoxious but didn't deserve to be arrested. In fact moments before this this woman in a wheelchair asked him to come down and she slapped him in the face and said shut the F*** up. He did nothing and just walked back to his seat with his wife. This may have premeditated the police to come down in the first place. So i guess insult to injury...slapped in the face and yanked before he saw his team come back and win.

He is.....The Fan Who Knew Too Much

The San Diego Police Department has been working covertly at NASA's lab at UCSD, and again at a top secret test environment at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab over at Cal Tech.

Through their efforts, they have been able to perfect a transporter technology....technology that will instantly beam a half-dozen LEO's in to a position where they can subdue a suspect!

Now, the man is really from the Jet Propulsion Lab, and he snuck out of JPL to expose this technology that the SDPD had. So, while he looks like a New York Jets fan, what he was really doing was chanting "Jets, Jets, Jets" in hopes that the SDPD would be reminded that JPL scientists were everywhere, and thus come clean and disclose their covert technology to the public.

The plan wasn't aggressive enough. It backfired! His real identity was discovered by the undercover operative posed as a beer salesman. You can see him at :06 and :10 (you know he's the undercover op...he's the only one in the video wearing shades!!).

So, the under cover beer salesman quietly slides by, and at :11 the operative alerts the SDPD of this threat posing as a Jets fan. The SDPD instantly engages their transporter and by :13 a half dozen of them have instantly transported from their base and rematerialized on top of the man chanting for the Jets!!

And so, the man was captured by the SDPD, where he remains under interrogation so the police can determine how many other clandestine operatives at JPL truly know about this secret technology. An exposure thwarted for wont of an effective attack.

The internet will only remember him as....The Fan Who Knew Too Much.

Remember, you will only have time for just one shot. If you need another, the risk is yours.

People take sports way too seriously. I was reading today about a press photographer beaten up by soccer fans who didn't like the photos he was taking as they reacted to their team losing.

Y'know, they ought to outlaw organized sports. Packs over overpaid prima donna athletes who behave badly off the field, rabid fans who act like drunken ten year olds and want to fight everyone, and a huge drain on cities that pass property taxes to pay for monstrous stadiums to persuade teams to stay in town, paid for by everyone but enjoyed only by those who shave their heads and paint their bodies garish colors and dance drunkenly on TV. to hell with all of them. I hate sports.

Now now, if they did that.....those sweet bazooka lenses I lust over would be even more expensive.

They better bring 10.000 back ups when Standard is playing here

They don't call it "Hell" because of the silence :uhyeah:

Anyone cheering the Jets should be arrested. It's proof they're drunk in public. :rofl:

The story gets interesting....

An off-duty San Diego police officer abused the powers of his badge when he sent a text message to his counterparts to have a New York Jets fan ejected from the game because he had been cheering for his team
.
...So the cop sent a text message to other on-duty cops informing them that a drunk Jets fan was causing a disturbance, according to the New York Post.

A horde of uniformed cops then swarmed the Jets fan and handcuffed him, throwing him in jail where he remained for 15 hours.

He was charged with being drunk and resisting arrest. The cops refused to give him a breathalyzer.

A rabid Jets fan ticked off the wrong person -- an off-duty San Diego cop -- by loudly cheering his team's playoff upset Sunday against the Chargers.
...
He said he had just three beers over four hours and cops refused to let him take a Breathalyzer test to prove he was sober.

The officers "were just totally out of line, and they wouldn't listen to reason," said Steve Sevigny, a Charger fan who witnessed the arrest.
...

Carroll, 43, a construction manager from Mission Viejo, Calif., spent 15 hours in jail.
...

About 13 seconds into the video, Carroll is shoved onto the seats by two burly San Diego cops as a Chargers fan yells, "He didn't do anything!" and others boo and protest.

...

Assistant Police Chief Bob Kanaski -- insisting "we don't arrest people for cheering for their teams" -- said Sgt. Jeff Sterling approached Carroll after the off-duty cop sent a text message reporting a drunk causing a disturbance.

Sterling said he asked Carroll three time to "come upstairs" to talk, but he refused and made a fist.

Carroll said Sterling only asked him once and he refused to leave the stands because he didn't want to miss the game and wasn't misbehaving.

Keeping my eye open for a more reliable news source than the Post. So far nothing on CNN or Fox.

Uh...that stuff I wrote about the undercover operative and the policemen instantly transported to the Jets fan was supposed to be....a joke. Yikes!

The officers "were just totally out of line, and they wouldn't listen to reason," said Steve Sevigny, a Charger fan who witnessed the arrest.

It would appear that this fellow accepts the nature of the game better than the off-duty police officer.

If off-duty officer can't take the frustration of watching his favorite team lose and the chants of the fans of the winning team, then perhaps he lacks the mental discipline to deal with the day-to-day frustrations of being a police officer.

After reading the articles this appears to be a serious misuse of authority.

I don't blame the arresting officers as much for trusting in one of their comrades to report on an incident truthfully, but the off-duty officer should perhaps be suspended and given a proper psych-eval.

I'd agree with you except for two facts (or perhaps allegations, since all this is 2nd-hand): holding the guy in jail for 15 hours and refusing to administer the breathalyzer. If it'd just been a case of the arresting officers trusting the off-duty cop's word, it wouldn't have taken 15 hours to realize that the guy was not drunk and was not misbehaving. Their refusing to administer the breathalyzer simply further underscores this.

I call foul (no pun intended) on the police in this instance.
