O Sporting News tells why Galo Doido was framed by the police.
What happened to Crazy Rooster?
Galo Doido was arrested by the Argentine Military Police this Friday for “inappropriate behavior”. According to reports, he jumped on tables and chairs in the popular San Telmo market, which was packed with Atlético fans. The police were bothered by the attitude and carried out an approach.
The video that went viral showed a police officer putting his finger up in front of the Crazy Rooster mask. Fans tried to defend the mascot, but were removed by the police.
THE CRAZY COCK taking part of the Argentine police is already too much for me
