Tag #Post-Game Brawl

What were the contributing factors to the post-game brawl, and how did the agencies' reviews assess the law enforcement responses to these factors?

The incident began when Michigan players attempted to plant their team's flag at midfield, escalating into a large-scale confrontation involving players, police, and bystanders. The use of pepper spray, along with a Taser (not deployed), and a physical strike by a deputy, were deemed justified responses to the aggressive behavior of the players and the risk to officers' safety. A fan was arrested for trespassing.
