This is ridiculous; granted we didn't see the lead-up to this stylishly dressed rubenesque arm of the law blowing his top BUT, a skateboard wielding 14yr. old does NOT warrant this type of (over) reaction.



What amazes me is that at the end of the video the cop acknowledges that he is being videotaped and it doesn't seem to phase him in the least.

Being beat up in high school and getting ones rocks off by manhandling children should not be a pre-requisite for getting a badge and a gun.

The shorts are pretty sexy though.

Apparently they've reprimanded this officer:

A 17-year veteran of the Baltimore police force has been suspended with pay pending an internal investigation of his actions involving a 14-year-old skateboarder at Baltimore's Inner Harbor.



The last line of this raised my eyebrows a bit, just think if we didn't have YouTube:



"I called to file a complaint but was told the supervisor was on vacation and would call me when he returned. He never did," Eric's mother, Peggy Miller, said.

The kid could have potentially called this guy every name in the book and then had some more words for his dear old mum, still wouldn't give the cop the right (under our laws) to do anything.

I agree with your sentiment about rowdy kids, but if you've ever set foot in Ball-mer
you'd know that just over that cops shoulder, only a few blocks back past those tall buildings there are some really bad parts of town that this guy SHOULD have been patrolling instead of harassing scrawny 14yr. olds who haven't robbed, killed, or sold drugs to anyone.

All this kid is gonna learn is that

1.) Cops suck.

2.) Don't respect a badge, because it doesn't respect you.

3.) Always carry a camcorder.

I'm not implying that all cops suck or that a badge should not be respected, but this
officer has just done a great disservice in having these kids take ANY officer of the law seriously in the future.

Please tell me you're joking.

'Cuz it's late, I'm getting tired and really don't feel like arguing.

One more thing;

I don't believe you can arrest a corpse.
