Skateboarding is Not a Crime

On my recent post for Go Skateboarding Day, I said that the “skateboarding is not a crime” days are nearly over. Well, apparently that’s not the case in Smalltown USA. Check out this disturbing video of an out of control cop using excessive force on four teenagers. It’s almost too much to watch as he manhandles one of the girls in a choke hold for doing nothing. After half-a-million views on youtube and public outcry, the local police department has put the cop on suspended leave (with pay).

I guess I’ve been jaded by the NYC cops who never give a rats ass since they have bigger fish to fry. It’s always the security officers with nothing better to do that lose their cool, like this homeland security cop in San Francisco.
