If an I.T. guy does this, we don't really care if he gets fired? Instead let's fire the public servant doing a job that many of us will not or could not do...

How would someone who did the same to him in his official role be treated? |

BTW: This is not that young lady's "official role" - so this isn't apples to apples.

I'm suggesting that if someone had done the same to him in his role as an officer, they'd have been treated a lot more harshly than he has been so far.

No. They can come after the investigation.

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....

Update to this story:
Man who shoved teen referee no longer with Wichita police No longer with the department, doesn't show a direct connection but he was charged. |

Good to see that this person is no longer with the police.It would be legally confusing if a police officer attacked someone in the performance of his duties, especially if the victim was someone whose job is ensuring safety and controlling access to the playing surface.
Hopefully future police officers (and parents in general) do not repeat his mistakes. |
