The Roosevelt (Utah) Police officers who used pepper spray and a baton on fans performing a Polynesian chant and dance after a high-school football game have been cleared in an internal investigation.
Chief Rick Harrison found that, while the officers could have used alternative means to clear the group out of the exit from Union High School's football field on Oct. 20, "the totality of the circumstances that evening suggest that the officers reacted within departmental policy and in compliance with state law," reports the Deseret News .
