LeBron James is calling for the Texas police officer in the Texas A&M-South Carolina game to be punished.

On Saturday afternoon, a Texas police officer went viral when he shoulder-checked two South Carolina players.

The officer was immediately relieved of his duties and will have to face an internal affairs investigation into his behavior.

“The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is aware of the incident that occurred today during the Texas A&M football game. The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will investigate the matter further. No additional information will be released at this time.”

On social media, fans, including LeBron, called for the police officer to be suspended.
