........... easy now.

Quick

agree with you quick....

we were all kids one time of another (we still are lol), the police officer went WAY overboard.
 
I like at the end how he asks if the camera is on!:D

He'll have more than a few days off from jail.
 
two issue's I see.....wtf is that big cop driving around in that baby urban rapid response car ? No wonder he is on edge.

I am tired of kids that don't know when to stfu....the cop was right when he asked him if he treated his teachers that way....hell yeah he does. That's not the first time he has played stupid. The Officer was right when he mentioned his buddies were examples of what he expected.

I did show my kids this video....not to point out that this officer was a PIg...but to show them what to expect in the real world. Learn early on in life to control your alligator mouth, while you still have a humming bird ass

I was raised on Military bases, and learned respect....my neighbors could have kicked my ass for being a smart ass.....my parents would not have filed a report.

That being said....the 14 year old might have learned a valuable lesson, might not. The officer may indeed end up in big trouble.....but it did not look like Mayberry where he was hanging out, maybe the local businesses are on the officers ass to keep the kids out....

It is easy to bash law enforcement, not sure what day this happened. However if you take all the interactions the police have throughout the US each day, hundreds of thousands per week.....I don't think this is the norm, and if it is.......try to learn by it.

For those of you First Responders....that includes the Military as well. Thank you...I will not judge you by the action of one. My family will not refer to you as anything other than your title deserves.
 
blah the kid had to much lip.. playing stupid ohhh i didnt know.. ohh i cant hear u bla bla bla... lol .. i hate rude pigs but i think the kid deserved it
 
No matter what the kid said the cop was out of order period. He's supposed to be professional not a prick. I hope he loses his job. Its a good thing he didn't do that to my kid. I'd have his ass and his badge. All he had to do was cite the kids and be done with it. Just because there kids don't anyone the right to put a hand on them. I would consider this assault, and I bet the kids parents do too.
 
Eric Bush, the 14-year-old skateboarder who has gained national fame after his encounter with a Baltimore police officer at the Inner Harbor surfaced on YouTube, said in his home yesterday that he knew at the time that what he was doing was "100 percent wrong."

But Bush added that the officer's reaction to his simple offense of skateboarding in a prohibited area was over the top and that if he had his way, Salvatore Rivieri would be without a job.

Rivieri, a 17-year veteran, was suspended by the Police Department pending an internal investigation after berating, manhandling and threatening Bush last summer.


What is your reaction to the police officer's conduct in the video involving skateboarders at the Inner Harbor?



"I don't feel sorry for him at all," Bush said.

Bush, meanwhile, has turned into a minor celebrity as a ninth-grader at Northeast High School in Anne Arundel County, where he said he was swarmed by the curious - teachers and students alike - while he walked the halls this week.

As of last night, more than 400,000 people had watched the video on YouTube since its posting Saturday. Bush and the cameraman, Tony Santo, 15, a 10th-grader at Northeast, have taped segments for two nationally broadcast shows and are expecting other interview requests before the end of the week.

Santo said they were originally going to post the video right after the incident but decided to wait because Bush's mother filed a complaint with police. Santo misplaced the video for months but recently found it.

Bush and Santo talked about the incident for 30 minutes from Bush's home in Curtis Bay yesterday evening, both stunned by how much attention it has garnered.

The video shows Rivieri putting Bush in a headlock, pushing him to the ground and threatening to smack him for what the officer says is a lack of respect.

Bush repeatedly refers to Rivieri as "dude" or "man" in the video.

"I started calling him 'dude' because I didn't know what else to say," said Bush, who has been skateboarding for four years. "I didn't think of calling him 'sir' or anything. I didn't know he was going to do that."

Bush said run-ins with police for skateboarding are nothing new for him and his friends. Two other boys were skateboarding that day at the harbor with Bush and Santo.

Santo said he sometimes uses a camcorder to tape his friends' conflicts with police because they find humor in getting yelled at by officers. But Santo added that shortly after they are told to leave, he and his friends leave, and that they were in the process of doing so at the harbor last summer.


"I was like, I can't believe I'm getting this on film," Santo said.

Bush said he did not hear the officer's orders to stop skateboarding, which were given before the 3 1/2 -minute video starts. Bush said he was wearing headphones and missed the command.

In the video, the teen tells Rivieri that he did not hear him, prompting the officer to tell Bush not to get defensive. Rivieri then tells Bush to not give him attitude or "I'll smack you."

Near the end of the video, Rivieri takes the skateboard before discovering the camera in Santo's hand. The video cuts off as Rivieri is asking Santo whether he's recording.

Santo said he held the camera near his thigh so that Rivieri would not realize he was being taped. Santo turned it off once Rivieri recognized the equipment.

"I didn't want to tell [Rivieri] it's on. He's already pushed [Bush] down," Santo said. "I'm afraid he's going to take the camera. He knows he did something wrong. If he didn't do something wrong, he wouldn't be asking about the camera."

Bush said that Rivieri allowed him to call his mother after the camera stopped recording and that Rivieri told Bush's mother that he was being disrespectful. Bush said Rivieri returned the skateboard and left a few minutes later.

Maybe I'm missing something here.....If one of my kids Knew something was 100% wrong. Found humor in getting yelled at by the Police. Then why would I go after the Officer....because he got in his face ( that's what he likes ) because he ruffed the kid up.....he is a skater....he finds pleasure in grinding on his elbows and knees. The Officer after 17 years was suspended....the public can pay his unemployment and deal with this kid when he finds his thrills doing something else.

The fact of the matter is the cop manhandled a minor for being called dude period....I hope the cop liked his suspention. So if your kid got thrown to the ground and threatend by a cop you would be ok with it?
 
F*ck that cop. There is no excuse for a grown man throwing a 14 year old on the ground in that type of situation. That guy is an embarassment to all real law enforcement officers. The very fact that after 17 years of service he is assigned to golf cart patrol is a strong indication of what the Baltimore PD thinks of him.
