Two Colorado Football Players Suspended For Causing Pellet Gun Commotion

"Police said several of the men in the cars became immediately antagonistic with officers as they were ordered out of the vehicles at gunpoint. Officers said Thornton told officers, “Go ahead! Shoot me, mother (expletive),” “I can go wherever the (expletive) I want,” and, “This is Boulder and you have your guns out?”"

Thornton and freshman wide receiver Jeffrey Thomas were suspended for the season’s first two games. A third player, freshman linebacker Jermane Clark, opted to leave the program. The other players were deemed to have not been involved. Players were reported to the University but not charged with a crime.

To recap: waving something that looks exactly like a real gun around, in public, in Colorado. Really smart.
