I mean, honestly, How many times does it take for an officer to tell someone to leave an area before they realize shits gonna get bad if they dont. Personally, I think this crowd got off pretty easy. More often than not if you dont listen you end up tased or in the back of the cruiser.
According to FoxNews a state police helicopter brought in to break up a rowdy Penn State tailgate scene ended up adding to the chaos by blowing over tents and kicking up dangerous debris.
Pennsylvania State Police said Monday the helicopter was brought in after a a tailgate party with hundreds of revelers had gotten out of hand. Penn State was playing high-profile rival Ohio State.
One state trooper suffered a broken wrist while trying to arrest a man who allegedly struck a state police horse that had been summoned to break up a party, agency spokesman Ryan Tarkowski told the Associated Press.
Tarkowski told the AP that troopers on the ground were pulled back “in an effort to de-escalate the situation,” and a helicopter arrived soon after, flying low over the crowd.
“The helicopter made an initial pass at a higher altitude, but [the] loudspeaker could not be…heard,” Tarkowski said. “The second pass was lower to ensure people on the ground could hear the order to disperse. PSP helicopters may fly at an altitude that will best accomplish the mission at hand while keeping safety in mind.”
Videos posted to social media show the helicopter flying low, and canopies and other debris getting knocked around by the low…
This should blow over well.

So do yourselves a favor if the cops say hey, shits getting a bit rowdy time to disperse. It may be wise to do it the first time.
