Officers did not detain him that day, even as they arrested students and piled them into police vans for transport to jail. The campus overflowed with outrage. Dozens of young people blocked the vans from leaving, until police deployed flashbangs and pepper spray to clear their path.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Heyman said he planned on filing a complaint against the officer. More than a week later, several police vehicles surrounded him while he was driving near his home. Troopers took him into custody; Heyman spent the day in Travis County Jail.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;“When I got home later that night and checked my email,” he said, “that was when I learned that I had also been fired that same day.”<br>&gt;<br>&gt;UT officials declined my request for comment.</p><p>We call this "collaboration."
