Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the viral video circulating involving a Texas DPS trooper and South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor, what led to the heated exchange, what consequences should follow and more.

During the South Carolina vs Texas A&M game on Saturday, a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper confronted South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor after Harbor had scored an 80-yard touchdown. As Harbor and teammate Oscar Adaway III walked through the tunnel, the trooper deliberately moved between them, bumped into them, then turned around to point at and shout at Harbor, an incident that was captured on video and quickly went viral. Following the backlash, DPS sent the trooper home from the game and announced that the Office of Inspector General would investigate the confrontation . The situation drew widespread public criticism, including from LeBron James, who publicly called for the trooper’s suspension. Why did this happen? What should be the response?
