Officers punished for viral video of rock-paper-scissors game at Chilifest
Snook, Texas -- Three police officers seen during a game of rock-paper-scissors between one of the officers and an apparently intoxicated girl under the age of 21 at Chilifest 2015 will not be asked to work the annual country music festival and fundraiser in the future.
Burleson County Pct. 2 Constable Dennis Gaas confirmed he recognized the officers seen in a video posted on Total Frat Move, a fraternity comedy and news source, but declined to identify them by name or agency before they are given a chance to explain the situation to their bosses. Gaas said the officers work for two different agencies.
The video, first posted to a Texas A&M student’s Vine account and later deleted, showed a female festival-goer celebrating after beating the officers at rock-paper-scissors.

“I have seen the video and can only say that this is unacceptable and unprofessional conduct by these officers,” Gaas said in a statement. “Officers are given the choice of giving a warning or issuing a citation for any violation they encounter during this event. Playing a game to see if a citation or warning is given does not fall under professional conduct. All officers were instructed during orientation to present a professional appearance and attitude.”
