Wait, what are people complaining about? The fact that the cop was going to let them all off with a warning until someone decided to be a dick? Or when the cop used an amount of force that was entirely reasonable to get an individual into a car? Or when the cop decided to explain his behaviour, which was permissible by his states' laws?
Granted, saying to the kid that he was going to break his arm wasn`t the smartest thing to do, but that`s all you`re going to cite him for? Really?
I`m firmly of the belief that people need to know the legislation that they are governed by. If you have no idea what the laws are, yeah, you are more likely to break them. Saying that, if you bitch out a cop, and then you act all offended when he does what he is legally allowed to do, it`s your own damn fault.
Most of the skaters were fine, but the people just yelling at the cop were `tards.

I am so sick of police officers who feel that because they have that badge and that uniform they can do WHATEVER they like to civilians. There are so many videos of cops beating people and abusing them even in custody and even when they are incapacitated/helpless. How did things get this bad? why isn't anyone punishing these officers? this is just unacceptable. you can see him actually warping the law to cover his own ass - unconcerned at the five or six actual witnesses there - their word means nothing because they are nobody. I wonder what he might have done if he had seen the video camera..

Why is it that only recently that all cops have become a "feared" thing? Now, why does he expect the poor guy to just say "No, I don't have a headache, I am actually so happy right now that I will make my eyes insanely small and smile just because I am in front of someone who gets paid to make me miserable as often as possible. Hooray!"

Skaters are usually immature, whiny kids looking for a fight. Cops are usually immature, posturing adults with an authority complex. Everybody involved here was actually pretty cool, considering.
The real question is who the drat makes a law against skateboarding?
