Why are cops using force to stop a high school band from continuing to play at the end of a football game?
So much for freedom in #Alabama
"police were trying to clear the stadium after the game and asked both bands to stop playing so people wouldn’t linger.
"Police say the director disregarded officers and told his students to keep playing."
They arrested and tasered him.
