This police officer goes too far (video inside)

This takes place at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. (My hometown!) A couple of kids are just skateboarding when an officer tells them to stop; they do, except one who has his iPod on and fails to hear the cop. After a few words are exchanged, the cop loses it and acts completely unprofessional. Seriously this video is worth seeing. It’s hard to describe it without seeing it. While I do agree that the kid should of been more respectful it is the officers responsablitly to be the bigger man and verbally and physically intimating a child should not be tolerated no matter of public stature. Here is a link to the Baltimore Sun’s take on this.

personally I only think the cop went to far when he grabbed the kid. He did disrespect the cop . You call acop officer or sir. The kid was from there he knew it was against the rules to skate there. He should deal with the consequences. Same thing for those of us who drive. You don’t want to get busted. Don’t speed, run lights, drive drunk, etc. And if you do, don’t dis the cop when he pulls you over.

I think the cop was just jealous because the city gave him something only slightly bigger than a skateboard to ride around town!

That cop was totally out of line with that kid. You can tell that the cop was angry and took his anger out on the kids. Totally out of line and needs a vacation to get his anger resolved.
