of course they arent in any serious trouble with the law, they are minors...
the whole point of arresting them is to show them a little reality, dont disrespect/disobey cops. im sure the parents werent too happy having to pick them up from jail

Maybe im way off base, but isnt a misdemenor charge for something like skate boarding a simple fine most times, not something to haul you in over? [/quote:f6255]
im sure the cop was never planning on giving them a citation. i'd be willing to bet the confrontation started with the cop simply telling them to stop skateboarding as its against a city ordinance. the kids probably thought that was "stupid and unfair" as "we're JUST skateboarding" and they continued to do it and/or mouthed off. then things escalated from there.

these kids were clearly looking to cause a scene and thought that since skateboarding seems legal anywhere in their minds, they couldnt possibly get in any trouble. props to the cops for showing them the real world.

Two of the kids were 19 and 21...Id laugh at the cop if he tried to put that charge on me. No doubt I WOULD stop skateboarding though

ps skateboarding is ghey

skateboarding is not a crime.

most of the time i respect cops. for the most part, they do their job and genuinely care about the people of the town, but cops like the one in the video are fucking pigs.

I live in Hot Springs. It is a major resort town. The place they were skating is the old historic bath house district. There is clearly marked signs an a city ordinance prohibiting skating there. Tourists don't want to be run over by skaters. Accounts from local merchants say that there is more to the story than just what the vid showed. Hot Springs also has a nice skate park. That same officer was one of the firsts one scene two weeks ago when a man rammed into the back of his ex- wifes car at an intersection, walked up beside her car and shot her in the head twice and shot her friend in the back as she was trying to get away. I'm sure he has had enough of bullshit lately.

You cant pass judgment on what exactly went down on video and what happened from the kids POV, because who knows if the kids were doing something else.

umm if you define a crime as breaking the law... then what these kids were doing was a crime. clearly just skateboarding (breaking the ordinance) is not an arrestable offense, but like milla said, we didnt see anything that happened before the first kid was cuffed.

[quote="TGB!":cfc1e]Fuck that bullshit. If you can't do it - DONT FUCKING DO IT. These kids know where and when they can skateboard. . .period. Yet they do it anyway, then get all "but I'm the victim" when someone actually enforces the law they are breaking. Then the old tried and true statement "Dont you have better things to do" - No you fucking dick, YOU are their job. The kid in the "choke hold" - rolleyes: - didn't seem to messed up, he had the presence of mind to request his skateboard. And good on the other guy for RUNNING from a Police Officer. These kids are fucking winners I tell ya. [/quote:cfc1e]

First time I have ever agreed with you. Those kids are worthless POS who deserved to be fucked. Its kids like that who need to learn some discipline rather than feel all great and talk shit to the cop while he is doing his job. I hate kids like that, fucking learn some respect.
