Cop Attacks Skateboarder and is NOT a Dude!
Posted on February 13, 2008 by Tony
There are a few words to describe this Baltimore cop who attacks a young skateboarder, but “dude” is not one of them. He is not man, he is NOT dude! He is officer Rivieri. I love how the cop asks, “Are you from the county or something?!?” They must have some real hooligans leaving out in the county in Baltimore. Just another douche bag with a badge. Looks like he was suspended for this outburst.

I am stunned and extremely angry at this continual assault on skateboarders! I am a forty-something mother of a 15yr old. “Dude”, is just their “disrespectful, slang, talk…etc”, but not meant to be directed at the individual exactly. It is obvious the Cop has some issues. When the boy says, “I want to call my Mom..” and then the cops response from there…my heart was broken! He put the boy at that point in fear of his Human Rights & most importantly his Physical Safety. I want his personal appology to the boy and his friends. Then proper punishment for the boy if he broke any laws. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY LET THE F78888? KIDS SKATE WHERE THEY PLEASE! REALLY, WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHY DOES THIS CONTINUALLY HAPPEN TO THEM!……PUT MORE SKATE PARKS IN… MY GOD IS IT NOT BETTER THAN DOING DRUGS AND OTHER STUFF?………….IF THEY HARM THEMSELVES POST SIGNS SKATE AT OWN RISK……….BUT LEAVE THESE YOUNG KIDS ALONE…
Wow! A real tough cop jumps out of this police vehicle that looks like one of those funny cars the circus clowns used to pop out of, and he is wearing what appears to be a bumble bee outfit for a police uniform, and he then picks on a14 year weighing about 70 pounds.. I guess Office Rivieri reached his quota of murder, burglary, narcotics arrests for his shift and decided to pounce on the skateboard terrorist before calling it another tough day on the force.
Baltimore, you gotta be proud of this guy!!!!
if you dont want us skating in public, BUILD US A SKATEPARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
me again. im a sk8r and its not just baltimore. in PA cops hate skaters too. us skaters have been forced to gritty roads and busy parking lots. Please build us a skatepark, so me and my friends wont end up in the hospital!
The mother should have taught her skater son to respect cops and grownups. This kid needed to learn some manners and this cop did his job. The kid knew he wasnt suppose to be skating at that location but he wanted to show his buddies how tough he was. Hopefully the mother can learn how to discipline her kid and instead of blaming the cop she should thank him.
