Tensions at the Georgia-Florida football game this past weekend, with disturbing confrontations between Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) officers and fans captured on video. One incident involved officers using a taser on a fan over a dispute about digital tickets, raising concerns from lawmakers and the public about the officers' actions. An eyewitness, Jeremy Williamson, a Georgia Bulldogs fan, expressed his shock at seeing a fan tased multiple times while trying to show their purchased seats on a phone, as reported by First Coast News.

Attendees' anxiety grew when another video appeared to show officers punching fans, with comments like "Why are you punching him?" spreading on social media. One video went viral on platform X, increasing public scrutiny and political attention. Despite the outrage, News4Jax reported insights from crime and safety analyst Tom Hackney, who said the officers were following training protocols, especially in situations involving "active resistance."

As the JSO maintains silence, pending a thorough review of the events, Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan has spoken out, affirming awareness and a commitment to uncovering the full narrative surrounding the conduct displayed by law enforcement at the game. "I'm aware of several disturbing videos circulating from yesterday's game. I have spoken to Sheriff Waters and the incidents are under investigation. We are awaiting the outcome of that investigation," Mayor Deegan communicated to First Coast News.

Witnesses are calling for an investigation into the officers' actions during a recent incident. "Right now, they still do not understand what these fans did to prompt that type of response," said UGA fan Jeremy Williamson, who saw officers using punches and tasers on a man in front of his children over a ticketing issue, according to an Action News Jax.
