Probably has a lot to do with the wonderful, upstanding citizens.
edit: ok, watched the video - I don't see the problem. Last edited by bren; 02-12-2008 at 09:36 AM. |

I too see no problem... I saw this clip last night on the news. I think the policeman was just suspended as of yesterday, but they're looking for the filmographer and there was no incident report.

I see a problem in the way he handled it. Northeastern big mouth attitude. Regardless of how the "suspects" are acting, it's the officer's job to remain cool and collected. And he's not going to win over any affection from the general public if he conducts himself that way. You want the people you're protecting to be on your side, not against you.

Yeah, you might be right - it should be ok for kids to ignore the Police.

While the video may not show the complete confrontation, that isn't the sort of police behavior I'd want to see. Let's hope the officer involved was either having a really bad day, or gets the counseling / anger management that he seems to need. While some may dismiss this as just opening a can of whoop-ass on some skateboarder punks, how would this officer have handled a convenience store robbery? |
