It can't be easy being a cop when you got young punks testing you all the time. That being said, he should be fired.

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.

The choking was a little excessive, but when a police officer orders you to do something, and you dont follow his order, he has the right to stop you.
When he told the kid he was under arrest, he continued to struggle...a big no-no.
And the kid who ran - right before he took off, you hear the cop say 'come here' - duh
After being told they were under arrest, they all resisted. Which just makes his job even harder - 1 cop trying to deal with 4+ people.
I would have charged them all with disturbing the peace biggrin:

What a tool of a cop. Honestly...Ive dealt with the five oh before, and have gotten into plenty of trouble I shouldnt have, so Im somewhat biased; but, what this cop did was DEF. crossing the line. Sure the kids were "breaking a law," but the law they broke was somewhat different than grand larceny, grand theft auto, or a serious crime. If a police officer handled me that way, Id fucking sue in a second.

Regardless, I would do SOMETHING to make a point...skateboarding lol. I would make it hell for the police officer, court, blemish on his name... Do you think those kids will get in any trouble? I guarantee they wont.

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?
That and the video is one sided, it shows a photo of the kid being choked, before the camera got there, but cites no reason for it happening. You're left to assume from the rest of the footage that the cops just a dick, and he must have just choke slammed him for skate boarding. Frankly, he had to have gotten pretty worked up to choke him like that.
Now, that said. The officer should be placed in anger managment classes, since they are supposed to stay cool in such situations and not use such methods. Frankly he got lucky that when he went chasing the one kid the others didnt just take off as well. That would have been a fun report for him to file about why hes missing a pair of cuffs.
