The dad who rushed his daughter’s graduation stage to keep her superintendent away seemed to be waiting for his moment to shine — based on new video we got a hold of.
TMZ has obtained additional footage from Baraboo PD that shows the incident in question — namely, the father of the high school girl who was ready to walk across the stage … only for her dad to jump in and whisk away the superintendent, refusing to let him shake her hand.
We’ve seen this moment from one POV — but now, in this new clip, we can see it from a bird’s eye view … capturing the entire ruckus from beginning to end with a wide angle.
Check it out … you see the dad hanging out on the side, apparently keeping an eye out for when his kid will be called — and once she enters the frame, you see him spring into action.
He runs up onto the stage and immediately goes for Superintendent Rainey Briggs — shoving him away from the line of school officials and getting into a little bit of a shoving/shouting match with him.
You can tell Briggs is taken aback … and the two men are eventually separated by others.

The cops ended up interviewing the dad here later that night … and TMZ obtained that video as well. You can hear what he says when he’s asked why he did what he did — and it sounds like the dad says his daughter previously ran into some type trouble at the school.
Unclear what exactly he’s referring to — but whatever it is … he seems to blame the superintendent for how it was handled … and he grouses about how he doesn’t like him.
As we reported … Briggs ended up getting a temporary restraining order against this Papa Bear, and the father has also been charged with disorderly conduct as a result of all this.
Many suspected race was a factor, but from the looks of it … there’s no evidence of that.
