LEMON DROP | Texas State Trooper’s Aggressive Altercation With Football Player

In this episode, Don is joined by former D.C. police officer and friend of the show Michael Fanone to break down the viral moment that has everyone talking: a Texas state trooper appearing to intentionally and aggressively shoulder-check South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor right after his touchdown.
What was the point of this deliberate act of hostility? Why was an on-field law enforcement officer acting with such unnecessary aggression toward a student-athlete? And most importantly, should this trooper face real consequences for his actions?
Don and Fanone take a closer look at the footage, the reaction from fans and players, and what this incident says about policing, power, and accountability.
