I don't know what it's like in Cali, but here the cops are slow runners, and a bit slow in general. It doesn't take more than a fence or side street to get gone.
I can't believe the kid back-talked though. That's just bad juju anywhere.
The kid broke the law . End of story . In court that's what is going to happen Smart mouth or not.
Sure he has a first amendment right ... Unless his intent is to incite a crowd which the cop could make a case for since there were several other skaters in the group.
If the cop was being a prick up front then sure call a prick a prick but, when he's trying to cut you some slack don't jerk the chain .
you're trippin...
calling a cop an asshole isn't against the law and while it's not smart, it's not illegal.
the cop threatened him, plain and simple. To KD, he didn't word it differently. what he said was a threat of physical violence, which IS ILLEGAL, cop or not.
this whole "mature, holier than thou" 'longboarder' attitude is just plain laughable, especially from a bunch of old has-been/never-were's... you cats are pretty pathetic
and before any of you ladies get your panties bunched up anymore, in no way am i saying him getting arrested was "wrong". Most skaters are prepared to spend a couple hours locked up, it goes with the territory..
Just the fact that the douchebag with the badge thought he needed to act all big and bad and threaten (and apparently KICK) the kid that was clearly not a threat. Which on top of abusing his power, is a crime. He's got no excuses, and no valid reasons for his actions.
I would like to post a long emotionally driven speech about how all cops are unnecessarily assholes but there are enough on this thread already. The kid shouldnt have talked back, but why couldnt the officer have just said "alright kid thats your opinion, now get out of here". Why does it always go to, "now your going to jail or ima kick your ass". All cops are so ready to power trip its sort of ridiculous. Ive concluded that one of the requirements for becoming a cop is a penis no longer then 1.5 inches and a serious need to overcompensate.
But what it really always boils down to is, "Fvck the police"

ok so if some kid - no better yet a little faggy fvcker like that one - came up to you and called you fvcking dick you'd say ok thats your opinion, get out of here? chances are you wouldn't i fvcking hate all of you who hate cops because you are all fvcking retarded if you think they're out to get you.

Haha are you a Cop? Do we have cops on the fish now? Regardless im sure you fit into that category of a 1.5 inch penis and youve already proven that need to overcompensate. Lets see here, if i was a 40 year old man and a 15 year old kid called me a jackass then yes i would take the high road and let it slide. And i definatly wouldnt arrest him just because i was so insacure with myself that i got that angry about what a little kid said.
And ive never been arrested personally for skating because i wouldnt talk #### to a cop. But not because i dont want to, because i know all these cops are so willing to flex the long arm of the long that one small word in contradiction will land your ass in jail and your board there permanently. However even with some major ass kissing ive still been harassed for abnormally long amounts of time for no reason other then i was riding a board strapped to wheels.
But there is no arguing with ignorant people like you, im sure you agreed with that video i posted below, ever cop should choke out all skating teens right? Can i get an amen?

No, i'm not a cop, i don't know anyone whos a cop and im not disagreeing that the ones weve seen in videos and personally delt with are assholes. but the fact of the matter is the majority of them are not, just doing there job, so you should stop acting like they shouldnt exist at all, because everything would be a lot shittier without them. on a different note, you said you wouldn't be anrgy over what a kid said, which is fine, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still a little disrespectful cvnt that deserved that entirely so idk how you could possibly take the kids side on that one. the choking was out of hand. On the other hand, cops have probably delt with a #### load of kids like the one in the op's video so they assume all skaters are assholes. I just dont understand how you could think every single cop is a douche bag, hence the phrase fvck the police.
edit: btw nice b!tch ass pm ### i hope you get anally raped in prison for the rest of your life after being shot by a cop.

How is it that you can understand how "all cops assume that skaters are assholes just because one skater was an asshole" but you cannot understand how "i think all cops are assholes, because every single cop ive ever delt with has been an asshole"

Unfortunately i could see myself getting shot by a cop for no reason, i hear they do that alot.
And for the record i dont really agree with what that kid said. Its just sort of rediculous how every cop in all of these video's, just like officer Riviari, goes ape sh!t when one little thing has been said to them, even though most of them are being jackasses in the first place..

No... all cops assume skaters are asshole because the majority skaters they've delt with were probably assholes. which explains why they're assholes to you. your the ignorant one for thinking cops are assholes so fvck you, i'm done with this.

i didnt say for no reason... but i guess if it was you they would.

How am i ignorant, every cop ive encountered has been an asshole even after ive kissed his ass. And ive still never been an asshole to a cop. The fact of the matter is that these are essentially adults with badges harassing little teens for "playing". I mean, eventually in your life you should grow up, but people like you, and most cops havent.
I agree that this world would not work without Police. But their motto is "protect and serve", i just wonder when the context of that changed to "protect ourselves and serve you an asswhipping if you dont like it"
and you can go ahead and throw in the towel but i will never be done with this debate. Because the great majority of cops act like this whether you talk #### to them or not and thats really not how it should be. Why do you think so many people are scared of cops.
Have you ever looked into a cop's eyes? They are the creepiest breed of people. They are simply authority-seeking losers. Sure, there are probably a few good cops out there that actually want to serve and protect, but a majority of them are just douchebags.
Out of the few cops/security guards, this one was mellow. Take the trespassing warning, go on your way, skate at a different place. Be nice. He has the ability to arrest the kid for not having an ID, allowing for more time for processing. If you're going to mouth off to someone with authority, it's not going to go well for either party.
I'm glad the five or six cops that have stopped me skating weren't ass holes.
I usually throw in "sir," "how are you," "have a good day," "how are you," and such, and they usually say that they are only stopping my buds and I because someone called in; they're usually pretty cheery, too.
I don't know, maybe I've had good luck, maybe the smiling, waving, and other peaceful, "I'm not a dick-head skater" antics payed off.
Either way, being mature, kind, and non-aggressive seems to help much more than "cuz you're a ####### dick."
Skategeezer, I haven't found anything before to disagree with you about, but I invite you to take another look at the video. I saw a kid who was sitting quietly until a cop deliberately antagonized him. Respect is a two way street, and that kid said nothing disrespectful until the cop invited him to with his smart-assed comment about Excedrin. Officer Asshole approached those kids looking for trouble and that's what he got. No one with such a chip on his shoulder has any business carryng a gun in the name of the law; one day he'll push the wrong person and someone will die over it.

Didn't San Fran used to be the counter-culture capital of the world. WTF happened? Are there any skate shops in the city. I mean why would there be if its illegal? Decriminalize Pot, Medicinal marijuana is ok, but no skateboarding?
The Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels for "security" at their Altamont concert. People died if I'm not mistaken, but I'll bet you the Stones are welcome back anytime. Why? $$$$$$ is why.

No cop will bust you for skating in SF unless you are pulling up street grates and he gets a complaint about it then tell him to F off while looking like a little whiney bitch. If the kid shut his mouth for 2 f'in seconds he walks. Watch the vid.
You need to pick your battles. Live to skate another day.
BTW Altamont is 45 miles East of SF and a "million light years" in thought from SF.

Very true, kid could have been more considerate. It just blew me away that the cop said no sk8ing in the whole county. As far as Altamont goes-- I dont know the geography of the area or the mindset of the people there.
We have all seen the shows COPS, and those guys act pretty professional when they know the camera is on, looks to me like to cop had no idea that this one was on, if he had I'm sure it would've gone a little different.
