EvoSkins Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I heard about this on Mickey, Amelia, and Speigel this morning. The officer did push it a little far but the kid needs to learn some respect. Inner Harbor incident hits Internet Officer suspended after video shows him berating teen By Annie Linskey and Gus G. Sentementes Sun reporters February 12, 2008 A Baltimore police officer was suspended yesterday after a YouTube video surfaced on the Internet showing him berating and manhandling a teenage skateboarder at the Inner Harbor. On the video, the officer, Salvatore Rivieri, puts the boy in a headlock, pushes him to the ground, questions his upbringing, threatens to "smack" him and repeatedly accuses the youngster of showing disrespect because the youth refers to the officer as "man" and "dude." click link for more http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/baltimore_city/bal-te.md.officer12feb12,0,2252685.story Here is the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I heard about this on Mickey, Amelia, and Speigel this morning. The officer did push it a little far but the kid needs to learn some respect. What an a-hole. The kid did nothing wrong he was skateboarding FFS. This guy needs to lose his badge. While he took the time to berate this kid because of the way he speaks, there were probably 50 heroin deals, and 25 gun shots with in 10 blocks. The only mistake the kids made was to skateboard in a tourist area. While I understand why, skateboarding shouldn't be considered a crime. I grew up skateboarding, I got kicked off of many properties and thought it was fun to giggle at the "rent a cops". The way I see it, while me and my buddies were skateboarding, there were 10 other kids in our area who were smoking pot, drinking beer and cruising around. Which one is actually worse?

GoSkins561 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 These brats these days need to be smacked around. For skateboarding? Seriously? I can think of a lot worse things they could have been doing. Hopefully the kid gets well compensated because he did not deserve to be treated that way.

Shilsu Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 What's scary is who knows what other kind of BS he's pulled because there was no camera or Youtube in his 17-year history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drums and skins Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Another case of an officer taking it too far and losing professionalism all in the name of an ego trip. No surprise that its from Baltimore nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know showing "respect" was a law. I love the part about how he tells the kid with the camera, "I better not see myself on youtube". If I was the kids parents I would have posted it on youtube for them as soon as I heard him say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you followed the rules and didn't skateboard where you weren't allowed, then cops would've been able to go after bigger crimes.But they're stuck having to chase around kids on skateboards.

It doesn't look like the kids ever showed their parents because no complaints were ever filed according to the article. The police officer would probably beat an infant to death if it didn't stop crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy had no right touching the kid, he even said he couldn't hear because he was wearing a head set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUSkinsFan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm kinda mixed on this. The cop kept telling the kids to not call him dude or bro, so you have to believe that they aren't the smartest kids around. HOWEVER, the officer shouldn't have thrown the kid to the ground to get the skateboard, that is the only thing I have a real problem with in the video. Also, when the cop asked him if the headphones had been on and the kid said yes, the cop shouldn't have ****ed at him for getting defensive. The word YES is not defensive and it seems that the cop just wanted to stroke his own ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I thought he took it a little far with the headlock thing, but other than that, it wasnt that bad. He probably has to deal with ******* skater kids all day, so he took it out on them :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sith lord Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I admit, he did go to far, but we've all seen a whole lot worse from cops and many on this site defended the cop to the hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its aight, I did it too... Until recently there were not parks available for kids and adults too skateboard. In the evening, unless we put lights on our ramp, parking lots were the only option available. While I agree with you, there are alternative, I also disagree, all he is doing is skateboarding. I have seen people riding bikes in that same area on several occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
