A Texas A&M police officer has been removed from his game day assignment after a video surfaced showing him allegedly intimidating South Carolina football players during a game on Saturday. The incident occurred in the tunnel area of the stadium, where the trooper appeared to brush shoulders with the players and shout at them. The Texas Department of Public Safety has also issued a statement confirming that the officer has been sent home and that an internal investigation is underway. The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for the officer to be fired. NBA legend LeBron James was among those who reacted to the incident, saying that the officer should be suspended.

The Texas A&M police department and the Texas Department of Public Safety have both acknowledged the incident and are taking steps to investigate. The officer's actions have been widely condemned, and it remains to be seen what the outcome of the investigation will be.
