that guy harassed me when i skated there when i was 12! hahaha right in front of that outdoor ice rink
i dont know. im getting mixed feelings on this. i understand that i have to obey the law but it really depends on how both parties go about it. whenever i skate now and i get told to leave i ask for, "ONE MORE TIME PLEASEEE!!!!" or i say alright and come back later.
the police in DC however are harsh! they take ONE wheel. JUST ONE so you cant skate for the rest of the day.
police in columbia are generally nice but there are the few power driven officers who display their authority when no one is giving them "lip" or being rude. in that case i cant help but laugh and carry on or be escorted off the premises only to come back a few minutes later.
in my opinion and experience, if you get harassed by a police officer for skating, listen for the time being! then go back later. its such a silly thing to get in trouble for, fight for and the officer to waste their time on.

It appears as though many cops EXPECT to be respected.
Unfortunately in todays world, that is not possible.

Looks like this is going to be taken care of after all. One more kid with an overprotective mom has learned a hard lesson about how to deal with authorities and one more dirty cop off the streets. The city will finally be safer and better for everyone.

here are the three possible options why your butt is so hurt
1. you are a cop
2. you are like 18 and have no kids
3. you are too dumb to realize that 14yrs of age is a minor, and this is serious, Assault brotha!
pick from 1 to 3

Most of the time people stopped to watch and seemed to enjoy it (in foreign countries) in the US it's considered a nuisance by the masses.
Ar u from Spain?
BTW, we couldnt see the whole video. We dont know what the retarded kid was doing, really.
I think the police officer acted over the top, but we dont know how much was he pushed to the limit.

That cop was a bit out of line, but I can't blame him.
The kids knew they could not skate there and they acted stupid and disrespectful to him.
Sad thing is, he is from Baltimore County and I know him, personally.
He lives 2 streets down from me and my neighbor is really good friends with his son and I've seen him several times and he does not act like that.

I never said it is ok to disrespect an officer. Don't put words in my mouth to make your argument look better.

I was like the officer right down there just told me-- he cut me off and said "I'll either beat you or handcuff you."
It wasn't even the yellow tape that said "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" it said "CAUTION."
Cops over abuse power in many instances.

There is this one female officer who is so big…let’s just leave it at that she is HUGE!!! I don’t know how she or a few of the male officers are in the department… I mean it is a real police department!!! They are too aggressive with their ticketing and between them the Greenbelt police department and the PGPD it is like Marshal law!!! Last year at on the 5th of May they had a helicopter in the air to find all the big parties. That’s my rant…sorry and the Baltimore cop was hilarious!!! That dude must have had a bad day or life!!! To be that old and still a beat cop!!! He must have screwed up or just suck at what he does!!! Unless he loves what he does, but I don’t think that was the case.
Anyways GO TERPS!!!

yeah 75$ tickets are nothing but bull

1. you make about the same amount as a cop and are jealous because you don't have as much authority at work
2. you are like in your early 20s and are still a kid
3. you are too dumb to realize how silly your argument is to me, brotha!
4. extra choice for only you
pick from 4 to 4
To answer your question I'm a 33 year old attorney and engineer. You pick which category I fit into. Of yeah... I'm a defense attorney and generally cops are not our friends at work.
