J-E-T-S! = J-A-I-L!
A rabid Jets fan ticked off the wrong person -- an off-duty San Diego cop -- by loudly cheering his team's playoff upset Sunday against the Chargers.
In what has become a YouTube sensation, several San Diego officers are seen roughly handcuffing New York native Bill Carroll for allegedly being drunk and resisting police.
Carroll -- who had been shouting "J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!" near the off-duty officer -- told The Post yesterday, "I wasn't doing anything wrong. I was just watching the game.
"What's wrong with me saying, 'Jets, Jets, Jets?' "
He said he had just three beers over four hours and cops refused to let him take a Breathalyzer test to prove he was sober.
The officers "were just totally out of line, and they wouldn't listen to reason," said Steve Sevigny, a Charger fan who witnessed the arrest.
"The poor guy was just totally busted for nothing."
Carroll, 43, a construction manager from Mission Viejo, Calif., spent 15 hours in jail.
In the YouTube video, which had been viewed more than 180,000 by last night, the former Albany and Long Island resident and his girlfriend, Brooke Powell, are seen wearing Jets gear as they stand in a sea of San Diego fans in the Chargers' stadium.
Carroll chants "J-E-T-S!" and pumps his arms.
About 13 seconds into the video, Carroll is shoved onto the seats by two burly San Diego cops as a Chargers fan yells, "He didn't do anything!" and others boo and protest.
"It was completely awful," said Powell.
Assistant Police Chief Bob Kanaski -- insisting "we don't arrest people for cheering for their teams" -- said Sgt. Jeff Sterling approached Carroll after the off-duty cop sent a text message reporting a drunk causing a disturbance.
Sterling said he asked Carroll three time to "come upstairs" to talk, but he refused and made a fist.
Carroll said Sterling only asked him once and he refused to leave the stands because he didn't want to miss the game and wasn't misbehaving.
"The second I turned around, I got pushed down and attacked by those four officers," he said.
"They took something from me that I don't think ever could be replaced," he said about missing the end of the Jets historic victory.
But Carroll is convinced there are more victories to come. "They're going to the Super Bowl, babe!" he vowed.

I wonder what happened to the bloke who was "taken outside" by the cop near the end.
They were well over the top, I hope they had the book slung at them. |
|
By:
Pretty bad frm the cops - but he does kind of look like he's resisting arrest..?
|

By:
**g disgrace, d|ckhead cop at the match can't take his team and a pack of bottlers who sh|t themselves every year in the playoffs so he takes it out on a Jets fan.
And law enforcement wonder why a lot of people dispise them :| |
|
By:
The guy was mouthing off and intimidating the crowd. If you stand there shouting and point and gesticulate to your chest, then you can expect to be asked to exit. He didn't go quietly. Resisting arrest - has only self to blame.
|

By:
Yeah he was a real menace, he was such a menace all the San Diego Chargers fans where the ones picking up for him saying he did nothing
|
|
By:
Ok. Your explanation was obviously the correct one !!
|
|
By:
Please explain if he was intimidating the crowd as you say WHY THEY PICKED UP FOR HIM AND SAID HE WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING??????
|

Its all based around aggression. Bad behaviour on the pitch extends to the yob mentality in the crowd. Romans and gladiators. Not moved on much imo ! |

By:
No - are you ?

I wouldn't have too much sympathy for the guy, he'll take a civil action and get a nice payday. :D
Typical moronic american cops. |
|
By:
or typical american football spectator.
|
|
By:
Typical American football spectactor? E.g. causing no bother to anyone. There is virtually never crowd trouble at American football, they're amazed at the problems we have here.

i watched that the other day when there were just 300 views

and he wasn't a hooligan
|
|
By:
Absolutely pathetic from the filth, the guy was cheering his team and wasn't making rude or inflamatory gestures.
Facts is either a member of said filth or a social worker = nap. |
|
By:
Why call the police filth - have you a problem ?
|
|
By:
For the very reason that is abundantly clear from the footage.
They continually abuse their powers of arrest on the innocent and generally ignore the thugs and criminals. |
|
By:
Have you a problem with sports fans shouting for their team?
|
|
By:
As I thought, nothing to say :^0

Stick these in your pipe Facts

By:
I was correct - you do have a problem.
|
|
By:
Facts, some clear questions for you there but you choose to ignore them because you know you can't defend the indefensible.
Sad character. |
|
By:
i ignore idiots - hope this helps.
|
|
By:
You know you are so out of line with reality.
And posting a reply is not ignoring muppet :D Hope this helps. |
