Chaos erupted at an Alabama high school football game after cops tased the school band director in front of 145 distraught band members. It started when cops ordered the band leader to have the band stop playing so the stadium could be cleared. After Mims ignored several orders by police, they threatened to arrest the band director and he was tased three times. In a statement, police say "The arresting officer alleges the band director pushed him during the arrest. He then subdued him with a taser." The band director, Johnny Mims, says he did nothing wrong.
