- Lord60, on 02/12/2008, -23/+1035I disagree. I don't hink he needs to retire. He needs to be disciplined and fired for his actions. For starters, he abused his authority. Second, he made unnecessary physical (rough) contact with that 14 year old (a minor) without his parents present. Third, he took his skateboard away for no reason. Fourth, his verbal abuse coupled with the fact that he's an authoritative figure and carries a gun, made that contact aggravated assault, and that's a felony. Fifth, he's obviously beyond the point of reason, and at the end of the video he is clearly asking if the video camera is on, and in the middle of a new threat to a new person when he says "is that camera on?... if I find myself..."
This cop is clearly not fit for the job and the only one I see disrespecting the cop, the badge, and the department is himself. - tillerman00, on 02/12/2008, -13/+854"You got that camera runnin? If I find myself on-"
Too late, *****. - quiznos, on 02/12/2008, -11/+688Haha, at the very end "you got that camera on? I don't want to find myself on y.."
- inactive, on 02/12/2008, -14/+476From the fat ***** piece of ***** in the bumblebee outfit with a tin badge @ 1:59 : "...the sooner you learn that, the longer you're going to live in this world. 'Cause you go around doing this kind of stuff, somebody's gonna kill you!"
If you were to say that to a cop, it would be considered a death threat and you'd be looking at some serious *****. Apparently it's OK for the boys in blue...er bumblebee costumes...to say it to us.
That bastard should be removed from the force immediately. If you cops want our respect, you EARN it. I don't respect anyone just because of some badge, black robe or ***** title. My respect is earned rather than given. Fear and respect are two completely different things.
You'll follow a man into battle that you respect. You'll frag the ***** you fear. - hondaman, on 02/12/2008, -52/+504This cop needs to retire. Hes a disgrace.
- zeroroth, on 02/12/2008, -18/+403That kid's got it bad, he doesn't have a father and the news report says he is diabetic and it made his blood sugar spike. That's some rough *****.
Douchebag cop, perhaps if he skateboarded or did some sort of physical activity he wouldn't have that beer belly he's toting around - Charun, on 02/12/2008, -1/+346http://wbal.com/stories/templates/news.aspx?articl ...
In this article his comment to The Sun was he didn't know he was being recorded.
That's an awesome defense. - notoneofus, on 02/12/2008, -4/+334Isn't "suspended with pay" the same as a vacation? How can I get in on this?
- Sartic, on 02/13/2008, -6/+330Damn, this video makes me embarrassed for being a police officer. That guy should really get fired.
And some of my fellow officer friends wonder why some people dislike the police. Here's your answer.
*Going to be ashamed for weeks* - SilentRamble42, on 02/13/2008, -1/+275I find the "you disrespected this badge and my department" thing quite ironic.

Let them hear what you think! - Lafftermath, on 02/12/2008, -7/+264Proof positive that one bad cop can screw up the work of 20 good ones...
- likwidfuzion, on 02/13/2008, -3/+187DUDE! You're getting fired.
- DatDudeWiggs, on 02/12/2008, -7/+187***** that. Retire he gets a pension. Fire that fat piece of *****.
- fatlip, on 02/13/2008, -19/+197yeah that stupid fat ***** must have gotten picked on in school constantly
i wonder how many times you have to call him tubby or ms. piggy before he shoots you - Chaoticfist, on 02/12/2008, -11/+188***** piece of *****. Officer ***** is more like it. Fire that ***** pig. My dads a cop. Most cops are generally good people, show respect and there are no issues. However this ***** pig is just a bully with a badge and a gun. Anybody know where this ***** works(division, plus email for his boss)
- theaceoffire, on 02/12/2008, -6/+176Hopefully he will be fired WITHOUT pay after said investigation.
- synaesthasia, on 02/12/2008, -12/+174There is nothing in any of the kids' behavior that warrants the kind of physical and verbal abuse heaped on them by a man who is obviously working through some deep insecurity issues. With a gun. Every one of these kids' respect for the law, and for law enforcement officials, has just taken a major hit. Probably permanently.
Way to go, Officer. I'm sure that, at this rate, you'll be promoted up from traffic cop/park duty Real Soon Now(tm). - osirislink, on 02/12/2008, -9/+166"These kids, they've got nothing better to do," Rivieri said. What an idiotic statement. It's a 14 year old kid that likes to skateboard. I hope this cop suffers, but he probably won't
- twister17e, on 02/12/2008, -8/+158Good thing he wasn't giving a taser. This time it might have been don't taze me, man! Or, don't taze me, DUDE!
- paradigm1220, on 02/13/2008, -6/+154A DUDE works on a RANCH!
- cm702, on 02/13/2008, -3/+150outube."
- iiiears, on 02/12/2008, -17/+163Amazed...
I think Lord60 has it right.
additionally if you are confronted by an angry police officer do what you can to manage that officers anger level. Why irritate a heavily armed person that is certain they are right. - Sadly a fourteen year old doesn't have the life experience to know any better.
The Baltimore ABC TV news site has a story about another police officer that fractured a 16 year olds jaw with video of the teen in a hospital bed after 8 hours surgery to rebuild his face. - apc3161, on 02/13/2008, -7/+143Cops aren't there to enforce what they believe to be appropriate behavior by going around and scaring people. They are there to enforce the law, period.
- Larz0rz, on 02/13/2008, -1/+130I like the end of the video:
"Is that camera on? If I find myself on..."
Youtube perhaps? oops... - eddie_s, on 02/12/2008, -11/+139It was all a joke. Officer Douchebag was just impersonating Cartman from South Park. You know, "Respect my Authority".
- minorthreat, on 02/13/2008, -1/+124I'm at the age where kids I went to school with, who are younger than me, are now cops.. I remember what it was like being 14 and skateboarding and being harassed by the cops.... If I was the cop, I would show the kids how to do a kick flip and then tell them to please skate somewhere else, so that the owners of the property will quit harassing me... I will guarantee you 100% that if the cop handled the situation like I said above, the kids would respect him and not skate there anymore.. ***** ***** with a power trip trying to fuel his self esteem.. Remember they are kids man, not only that, but they kids who aren't even trying to act cool in front of their friends..
- borez, on 02/13/2008, -6/+116That guys attitude was making ME ***** angry...and I'm sat at home minding my own business?
I was finding myself wishing one of them would've wrapped a skateboard around his fat piggy head. - wootup, on 02/13/2008, -4/+107LOL "A dude is somebody who works on a ranch!"
Also, that cop is a coward. - joshharvey, on 02/12/2008, -8/+111That cop deserves NO respect. You give humans a bad name.
- fatlip, on 02/13/2008, -9/+104no way man. i've seen kids talk back twenty times worse than that. that kid didnt give him *****. besides, he's 14! does some forty-something year old police officer really not have the backbone to take any kind of 'backtalk' from a 14 year old?
that's pathetic. - whoaohh, on 02/13/2008, -3/+95Sorry for comment abuse, but the officer was suspended:
http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2008 ... - Bukowsky, on 02/12/2008, -4/+96This really pisses me the ***** off. Why wasn't this cop arrested for that? I would be arrested if I did that to someone for NO REASON!
- NotOptium, on 02/13/2008, -3/+94"Is that camera on? If I find myself on Digg I'm gonna be super pissed!"
- biotch, on 02/13/2008, -2/+92The great thing is now video recording is becoming easier and more inconspicuous so people like that are being picked off. Im glad to see video cameras being used as a line of defense against something I had to put up with when I was that age.
- jjason1985, on 02/13/2008, -11/+96lee way? with what, the law? forget that, the cop was a bully plain and simple. I would like to see him off duty and give him a piece of my mind. Living in Baltimore does not make a little kid deserve that kind of treatment by a civil servant.
Damn that pig. Oink oink. - Bilabrin, on 02/13/2008, -10/+89That's not what I saw. I saw an insecure little man yelling at a 14 year old kid to re-assure himself he was a man. Pathetic. I'll bet he beats his wife too. The cop agrees with thats why he objected to that being taped.
- Jibberwalk, on 02/13/2008, -0/+76***** with people 1/4 your size and age.
- GuacamoleSan, on 02/13/2008, -1/+71Poetic justice
- apc3161, on 02/13/2008, -5/+73Assuming the kid broke the law, the cop should have simply told the kid he was under arrest, cuffed him, told him why he was under arrest, read him his rights, drove him off to jail, and then called his parents. That is not what happened. That was just blatant police brutality and intimidation. That is not acceptable.
Again, thats assuming skateboarding is an offense for which you can be arrested for, but thats not the case. In this case, the officer should have simply taken his name, ask for some ID, and presented him with a ticket and left. - FMKaiba, on 02/13/2008, -3/+68Don't be ashamed of being a police officer, most police are good, courageous people. You should be proud to be a police officer, as long as your do your job for the good of protecting the people, and always remember to make sure your actions are moral and right.
Its your responsibly though if you know a fellow officer that acts like the officer in this video, to report him/her, so they don't ruin the name of police. - jtingley, on 02/12/2008, -10/+73Yes Most Baltimore Cops are just like this piece of *****! I should Know, I'm from that ***** hole!!!
- inactive, on 02/13/2008, -6/+68That's right,,, I have two children and I teach them "respect" by getting in their faces and yelling at them. I lead through fear and belittle them on a regular basis.
- tehbored, on 02/12/2008, -12/+73Do those cops really expect anyone to give them even an ounce of respect while they're wearing those ridiculous yellow uniforms? I'm sure the kid was being a douche, but no where near as big a douche as that piece of lard trying to pass himself off as a cop.
- m4gic9, on 02/13/2008, -1/+62http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6AYVn2yw4&NR=1
- vsaint, on 02/13/2008, -1/+59Let's all band together and let the Philadelphia Police know how disappointed we are with how they have handled the Baltimore police department.
- NotOptium, on 02/13/2008, -5/+63I was hoping Omar would walk in whistling and whip out his shotgun.
- daEvan, on 02/13/2008, -1/+58STOP CALLING ME DUDE!
- Birdoftruth, on 02/12/2008, -0/+57hey serious question, but are you obligated to look at the officer when talking and call him sir and obey his "Sit down!" commands do you?
