It is totally unaceptable for a police officer to assault a child. Period. What the police are doing these days is just sickening, bit by bit eroding away our civil liberties.
Just like in the wild west - where (supposedly) nobody went anyhwere without a sidearm - its getting to the point that you have to have a video camera to prove your case if you want to maintain your rights with government employees.
They'll start confiscating those, just like they are with our guns. They'll have a much harder case to make, though. I have a feeling with this guy those kids were lucky to get out of there with their camera intact.
I feel for that kid. The cop had him afraid for his safety, slumping on a concrete barricade and the cop only took it as an opening to get more dominating.
I called Baltimore City police department and spoke to an officer in internal affairs. He said it was under investigation. I asked if the results of the investigation would be announced. He said it was a personal matter between those involved! I stated that my tax dollars are at risk here and I wanted to know if it was going to be publicized. He said again it was under investigation and he hung up on me! I was not rude or disrespectful. This police protecting their own crap needs to be countered with massive phone calls!
Everyone call Baltimore City Police Department and ask for internal affairs. Sorry I don't have the number here. It was posted in the YouTube comments.
is standard while an investigation is going on. By law they cannot tell you or anyone what he actally got after the investigtion. It is a personell matter and only the guy himself can talk about it.
So suspension with pay while the investigation is going on (NOT a small deal) and then the final verdict must be silenced, by law...
This still makes me sick.

I saw part of the clip of this fat bumblebee cop on the network news this morning. Interesting that right at the end of the full clip, you can hear him say: "If that video ends up on" [YouTube or the internet was what he obviously said next, but was cut off]
What an arrogant idiot. All these kids want to do is ride somewhere and they are never allowed, everywhere is off limits and every riding park has been closed. I understand the liability issue but it is crazy when some macho cop takes his authority to another level.
No dude, your a chump of a police officer, that over compensates by lashing out on people smaller than you.
You are a disgrace to "your badge and department"
I been through this myself when I was a teeneager/skateboarder quite frequently.
We arent supposed to even "spank" our children, much less say mom or dad in certain parts of the country! This scum cop did it all, he should be charged with domestic violence and placed on the homegrown terrorist list they are shoving down our throat! Quit yelling FLAG, This is what Ron Paul has been warning us about!! WTF!?!?
The cops in this country are out of control! And it has everything to do with Ron Paul getting elected! This is Homeland Security? We lose our rights everyday and these cops are getting worse and worse. This just happened recently in Tampa, it's disgusting.....
This need to be flagged for vilolating liberty.
I think it does matter 5 videos in 2 days of police brutaility.
Fisa passes, Warning from DHS about pregnant belly bombs,
People are talking about marching and there beating on little kids, disabled people, and stripping women.
What do you think they have in store for us?
It might be gulag time.

Its getting to the point where you NEED to have a hidden video

This has everything to do with our civil liberities,
which is what Ron Paul is campaigning about.

wants are unlimited, means are scarce...
He got a Suspension but to an Administrative Job with PAY.
http://www.baltimoresun.c...
Evidently the incident happened last year and just this year there has been an internal investigation. The guy has been "SUSPENDED" but WITH PAY!
Ho can anyone few this and NOT see the government going way overboard in compromising our persoanl liberties?
The cops terorize 14 year old boys here - a quadrapelegic who was dumped ouf of his wheelchair in another video - and you and me next.
This is a terrible trend people - government abusing the power the WEE THE PEOPLE have given them. Recognize it.
the suspension with pay
is standard while an investigation is going on. By law they cannot tell you or anyone what he actally got after the investigtion. It is a personell matter and only the guy himself can talk about it.

Here's another video of a crazed cop out to harass and abuse some skateboarders: http://www.youtube.com/wa...
If you are not OUTRAGED, you're not paying attention!
I hope this cop loses his job

I didn't get the memo
I didn't get the memo, when did the police switch from "Protect and Serve" to "Abuse and Berate"
I'm not a Dude!!!

Unbelievable
Is this kind of behaviour normal for police? I'm in the UK, and any copper who was filmed talking to someone like that would be fired, I hope.

More Cop abuse
This one is hard to watch...

If you don't think we have a very serious cop and law enforcement problem in this country, you're not paying attention.
You are slowly losing your right to legal representation of your constitutional rights and liberty. Ron Paul's core message!
I am speechless

I won't flag this
There are plenty of good cops.
But I won't flag this because a key issue is that we are all vulnerable to the few bad cops if the system gives them too much power.
