Anyone thinking about rushing the field at a sporting event should first consider what happened to a fan last night during a national soccer match between the U.S. and Brazil at FedEx Field in Maryland – it may just change your mind.
In the final minutes of the game, a man ran out onto the field and gladly soaked up his 15 minutes of fame. The man can be seen in the video pumping his fists and working the crowd a bit – clearly proud of himself.
However, he soon caught the attention of a nearby police officer who was not amused by his antics. Moments later, the officer absolutely leveled the unsuspecting fan in a jaw-jarring hit that could make ESPN’s top ten plays list.
Watch the take-down and rate the hit yourself:

That’s the kind of effort we need to battle the illegal Mexican alien invasion.

Might as well send the border patrol to that game and round up the illegals. I guarantee that 95% of the spectators there were illegal.

Jun. 2, 2012 at 5:00pmEvidently the officer was not trained in Saints’ Takeout Tackles. Probably a good thing, because the idiot will probably find some ACLU lawyer to file an assault and battery lawsuit against the officer. At least this idiot kept his clothes on unlike the one at the Cardinals’ game last week.

Jun. 1, 2012 at 4:21pmYeah, I was expecting an 8 or 9 level hit out of 10. His shoes stayed on, there was no potential neck injury whiplash, there was no potential rib breakage or other damage besides some bruising.
But here’s where he got it right: It was a stealth attack. The guy didn’t even hear the cop coming – he didn’t have a chance to dart off or side step the attack. The cop did exactly what he was supposed to do, no injuries, but a shock-and-awe drop of the idiot. They were able to confuse and subdue him without to much interruption to the field of play.
I rate it a 5/10. Couldn’t we ask for a little whiplash?

Jun. 1, 2012 at 8:01amTypical US cops. smh, they didn’t get out their billy clubs sure, but as far as “Serving and Protecting” that was bull crap. Totally unnecessary to shove the guy from behind like that. Take him down sure, but like that? c’mon man!.

Jun. 1, 2012 at 10:58amoooooohhhh, the pushed him. That is soooooo terrible. He was just having fun! If you think that was harsh or that it was brutal, then you’re a NANCY BOY. They should have used a club on him and dragged his loser **** off the field by his ankles. They PUSHED him on a grass field for crying out loud. What kind of narcissist thinks that it is a good idea to jump out in the middle of a sporting even in his little blue shorts want disrupt everything for his own self gratification?

Jun. 1, 2012 at 1:28pmThat was a multi-purpose hit- 1) Get the moron on the ground- face down, without having to chase him or commit your body to tackling him, and 2) send a commercial to every fool in Maryland- if you run out on the field bad things will happen.

Jun. 1, 2012 at 7:42amThat was false advertising, he was hardly pulverized, it wasn’t a “hit” but a shove and I bet the guy went down so quickly because he was probably half in the bag from booze consumed earlier in the evening. I have seen harder hits from kids at daycare, I mean please, the fans were hardly complaining about brutality so you know it wasn’t hard. If they had really thumped him and beaten him like a rented mule you would have heard more complaints from the crowd.

Polverize 1 to reduce (as by crushing or grinding) or to be reduced to very small particles 2demolish, so it is written in my dictionary. Would you like to borrow it?

Jun. 1, 2012 at 2:46amThey send in a lot to keep the injuries to the perpetrator from being more than necessary. The silly shiite should not mess with Maryland cops, they will clean your freaking clock. Especially those who get duty at the games. They get bored and when they have something to do, they just do it. Lol. He got his silly azz knocked down, but he got his 15 minutes. Fair enough.

Jun. 1, 2012 at 2:58amSeriously Abby? It kills you that it took 5 or 6 to manhandle 1 guy? Don’t you understand that the more quickly they are able to overpower the guy the less time and opportunity there is for serious injuries to take place? If the cop went after the guy “with honor” the guy could have fought back and potentially injured the cop, or forced the cop to actually injure him.

Jun. 1, 2012 at 2:30amGradeschool fights are more violent than that push. Whoever posted this should go get in a real fight before suggesting this was “pulverization”. “Pulverization” is a better description of gays smearing/scraping feces into lacerated rectal flesh and the resulting bacterial and viral infections. Correct?
