The official obviously did not handle it well. But she is a 17 year old minor with little or no training. (Could be my daughter.) He is an adult male police captain a head taller than her. He needs to take the much higher, smarter and calmer road. He should never, never ever have come close to touching the official much less pushing her. And like someone said, if anyone ever pushed an officer in uniform while they were on scene that person would rightfully so be on the ground in handcuffs and charged with assaulting a police officer. This is not an insignificant matter. He should be charged, plead to a deal and get some training.

Worthy of being charged with a crime? Probably not. Worthy of a public and one on one apology to the official and her family. HECK YES.

I think there has to be a pattern of him boiling over, some type of trend that shows he has a problem with managing his anger/emotions, for him to be fired from his job. This incident, in and of itsself, probably isn't sufficient cause. Time will tell, though.

I don't condone any of his actions. However I do believe the work shove is not the correct term to use to describe what took place.

Agreed. His actions cannot be condoned. His punishment should "fit the crime". The severity of the punishment should take the entire picture of his career to date into account, as well.

You want to now ruin his career and hurt his family? Did this girl who clearly acts like she can handle herself lose some sense of self-worth? As a dad of four daughters and I'd want to take this guy out and kick his ___. But it'd be over after that as far as I'm concerned.

If you as an official go to a game and cry and complain about the officiating, then the microscope is turned back on you. People notice that. That behavior is not allowed and depending upon where you work, you may be suspended or put on probation depending upon the severity. And to make it clear, no, I do not want to ruin his career, but he is the one that put himself in that situation.

This is another reminder for why every state should include "sports officials" as a special victim or have included legislation designed to protect officials.
State Legislation - National Association of Sports Officials Incidents like these become treated differently with these types of rules. They make it much easier for administrators to have a backbone. If you're state does not have this in place, I would encourage you to reach out individually or through your state associations to adopt.

If the cop were in uniform and was called to the scene... and a citizen did what he did to the referee, the citizen would have been thrown to the ground and handcuffed... let’s see what the judicial system does....
