<p>UMDCP has an unfortunate history of inappropriate student behavoir after big games (both men and women’s games!). Blockage of streets, burning stuff and breaking windows are the delightful things that the community must contend with after these big wins. Regardless of who started it, it is dangerous situation for students, police, and the poor people who have to live in this area. After looking at the videos, I know I would feel very worried about my son or daughter’s safety in a situation like that.</p>
<p>And. as much as we would like to blame the police, their reaction is understandable in light of the history of UMDCP. And I don’t understand why students have to block traffic and burn tee-shirts to celebrate. Hundreds of schools celebrate big wins without engaging in thuggish behavoir.</p>
