[waggy]

wow i hope they marched down to the prescient and filed a report (and made a copy for themselves)

 

[shoRunner]

some cops think they are the law and need to be put in their place.

 

[Sphexi]

So what? Some kid fell into a bush, boohoo for him.

But then after they file a report, the black cop will file a racial lawsuit against them saying the only reason they filed a suit against her is cus she's black :laugh:

he was pushed into a bush.

i hope next time you get pulled over they slam your face off the fvcking trunk then everyone can say boohoo to you.

 

[toekramp]

Not that I really like skateboarders because they annoy me, but if that happened to me I might have some neck pain.

fell? he was shoved into the bush. the officer was in the wrong. she should be charged with assault (but she won't though it is in the news) and take some more training or something.

 

[toekramp]

is there an article?

The cop shouldn't have done that.

Especially when it's video taped. It did look like the kids were up to no good. I'm sure they knew that cop was there.

he had a pretty good manual going til that marine algae with a badge decided to assault him.

 

[halik]

hahaha kinda funny

 

[yankeesfan]

Cool video. They even had Screech with the camera.

 

[theGlove]

haha thought it was pretty funny.

It looks to me like the cop was trying to stop him, not shove him into the bush.

And the response "Ohhh, it looks like you just assaulted someone..." makes me think the kids were trying for it.

Damned punks - they should be glad it's not 30 years ago, when they'd have been removed from their skateboards by a billy club. Seriously, kids like that do crap just to see how far they can push it. Skaters EVERYwhere know to look for no boarding signs, and these two seem like the type who were happy just to ignore it and see how long they could get away it with.

I would agree, and I hate cops!

From the article:

Cheyne Dowds, who owns Fairmont Skate Shops in Mount Pleasant and Charleston, said skaters are an easy target. He's complained to the police about skaters being rousted on several occasions. 'That's my tax money going toward that,' Dowds said.

Yet, in the video, he feigns not knowing about the ordinance?

The punk was out there looking for trouble.

Cheyne Dowds has not decided what to do about the incident, which he calls an assault. He said skaters sometimes pick a spot where they shouldn't be, but he says they are never belligerent and always leave when told.

'If we're skating a spot, and the curb's really good, and someone comes out to complain, that's OK,' Dowds said. 'If we're doing something wrong, we know it, we'll go.'

Right, we just ignore the ordinance we know about until someone comes out to complain. Apparently the rules only apply when you're "assaulted".

One of them, not much information in any of the articles.

You are an idiot.

 

[Conky]

She assaulted him pure and simple. If it was a white cop and a black skateboarder people would've been screaming "racism" too.

Still, I think punk skateboarders deserve that kind of treatment. :laugh:
