Cop goes off on 14 year old

[jkbirocz]

This cop is an idiot, this was in the inner harbor in baltimore, right by the aquarium. While I have been assured there are good cops, I have yet to encounter any. Most Baltimore cops make next to nothing and suffer a horrible commute considering atleast half don't live there. While I have always been respectable to police, I have always had to deal with police with big chips on their shoulder.

In defense of the cop, the kid was a rich a-hole that deserved a swift kick in the ass....but not by a cop.

I agree that some of the stuff those guys on skateboards is pretty awesome. Just do it in a skateboard park or some place DEDICATED for that purpose. Skateboarding on a public sidewalk is a nuisance and should not be allowed anywhere (in my humble opinion). Police Officers are not pigs, and should not be generalized that way, Unless you are referring to their Pride, Integrity and Guts. Disrespecting ANYONE in any kind of confrontation generally just leads to an escalation of emotions and things can get out of control too easily. The black female officer appeared to be preventing the hapless young lad from falling of the ledge and landing on the hard pavement by pushing him onto the soft grass on the other side. She is so nice.

Why not send the Baltimore Police a letter and ask for it ??? That cop is not going to be needing it any time soon.

If the powers that be in Baltimore are smart it will be NEVER.

The kid may have been disrespectful, but it didn't sound like he was doing much talking at all to me. They stopped skating when the cop approached them. That cop was way out of line. What right did he have to wrap his arm around the kids neck and throw him to the ground? Self defense? I think not. How could he take that cop seriously in that stupid uniform anyway. The kid probably thought he was being apprehended by a mailman. I would have just stopped skating and walked away. It was pretty obvious that the cop wasn't going to let them be, no matter how compliant they were. I grew up skating, so I will tend to take the kids side on this one, at least with the evidence shown on that vid. Youtube is crazy though. Its revolutionized the way people have to act in public. Its funny how that cop said something like, "Is that camera on? This better not end up on...." YouTube maybe? ha. gotcha!
