Viral video shows officers punching spectators at Florida-Georgia game

A video posted to X during the Florida-Georgia game on Saturday night has sparked widespread reactions after showing Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) officers involved in a physical altercation with fans at EverBank Stadium. In footage that quickly went viral, with over 20,000 likes within an hour, three officers were seen punching two spectators.

The video begins with one officer appearing to hold a fan in a headlock as a bystander yells, “Why are you punching him?” Moments later, the same officer repeatedly strikes the fan in the back of the head. In a separate part of the video, two officers are shown restraining another fan before one officer begins to punch them as well.

The video ends with one of the officers standing next to the fan they had struck, who appears to be on the ground with their head down. It’s unclear from the footage what initially led to the altercation, and the incident has prompted questions and online debate regarding the officers’ actions.
