No. 1 Arizona’s run in the NCAA Tournament came to an end Saturday night in a 64-63 overtime loss to Wisconsin. But with any high-profile game mixed with drunk and angry college students things quickly boiled over in the Tucson streets as riot police lined up and took position about an hour before the game concluded.

In the end, students were shot with bean bags, tear gassed and subsequently arrested.

Here’s one incident where some guy full of liquid courage gets pelted with numerous bean bags before getting mobbed by scorns of police.

Here’s another view of the incident above with some commentary from an Instagram user saying the police used excessive force:

I was there and saw that all the guy did was walk towards them if you watch the full video people are just laughing and having a good time i was at work rite in the middle of the riot there was no need for the violence on tpds end its sad that we get a bad rep because of a few drunk people i saw people get hit over there heads with billy clubs shot in the face with rubber bullets and choke on tear gas just for standing too close its stupid there was no need for it honestly i saw it from beggining to end and the riot squad was there in numbers before the game had begun if they weren’t there everyone would have gone home from the beginning they taunted the croud and tpd abused their power enough said

Here’s more images from the riots in Tucson, including this riot selfie:
