An Alabama high school band director says he was just “doing my job” when police officers arrested him and shocked him with a stun gun after he refused to immediately stop the band as it played in the bleachers following a football game.
I’m sorry, I might still be confused… did he get arrested and tazed for just continuing to conduct the band? Why were the police even stopping him? This seems insane.
Which is bizarre. I’ve never heard of a football stadium just instantly shutting everything down after the game. There’s always post-game entertainment, opportunities for the opposing teams to shake hands, sometimes some announcements, that sort of thing.
Utterly ridiculous, power-tripping cops. I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

Cops wanted to go home. Cops can’t go home till everyone leaves. People are staying because band is still playing. Cops throw tantrum.
I guess they were done abusing their overtime and didn’t want actual overtime into their personal time.
Yes, and the police wanted everyone to leave immediately after the football game.

The cops, who I’m guessing are lying as usual, claimed he shoved one of them. Which, of course, is totally a reason to use a taser.
