I am a Penn State graduate and I have family in law enforcement. According to the bias interpretations in The Daily Collegian, some say it was a "poor decision" by the police to spray anyone after Saturday's game ("Police allow stadium chaos, keep downtown crowd from causing mass destruction," Oct. 10).

Law enforcement is there to serve and protect. Unfortunately, in order to do so, lawbreakers get punished by various methods; some were lucky enough to escape due to the rising amount of people participating in disorderly behavior. As for the preventative measures of batons, they were, in fact, not used. Moreover, what was appalling were the chants coming from the stands while "people were celebrating" and "having a good time." Apparently "celebrating" nowadays is breaking the law by trespassing, destroying Penn State's football field and name, being drunk (many underage) and belligerent while disrespecting those people who are willing to risk their lives to save yours.

There's a line between being celebratory and causing chaos. I think many student fans are selfish and disrespectful of others' property as well as giving Penn State a bad reputation. We are no longer known for our academic achievements and school pride; we are now known for causing riots and being an out-of-control party school. Let the police do their jobs. They are always the enemy until you need something from them.
