University of Mississippi campus police cracked down hard on any students who waved the state flag of Mississippi during Saturday’s game with the school’s rival Alabama.
Students who had their flags taken away by police — along with signs declaring “Let The Band Play Dixie” — said they were threatened with arrest if they did not give them up.
“[W]e were told that officers would use their right to arrest,” tweeted one of the flag wavers in response to a question as to why they gave up their property.
