[quote="TGB!":fe0ff]I agree, there are gross instances of police brutality, and several on here support it - the first thing that pops in my mind is the cop-killer getting the shit beat out of him, and the folks here accepting that it happened when he jumped out of a window. . . oOo: [/quote:fe0ff]

Yeah, there's no reason for any cop to take his job so personal. Most cops I know would say that they never take any call personally. They do their job, and if a situation arises where they have to intervene, they do it in a tactical manner to protect themselves from harm. I think most good cops would tell you that putting anybody in a choke hold, especially two people at once like that, doesn't provide the officer with any safety. It would be pretty easy for the suspect to stab the officer in the side in that position.

As for this particular situation, I don't agree with the ordinance to prohibit skateboarding. Then again, I don't live in the area, and unless any of us do, we can't make a precise judgment on whether the ordinance is good or not. I'm presuming those kids refused to leave the area after the officer told them the area was restricted to skateboarding. If they refused to leave, then technically under law they can be given a citation, it's just a matter of how strict the cop is in enforcing the law.

It would be like me getting a parking ticket on campus, then bitching to the cop and telling him I'm not going to move my car. Then when he calls to have it towed, I start bitching and whining about how I'm not doing anything wrong.
