I think that the officers in both were at least a little out of line, but it seemed that the skater in the second video wasn't as compliant as he probably couldn've been.
Both of those guys need to be fired. Getting hassled for skating is aF'n joke. In both cases everyone should've taken off running cuz neither of those fat bastards would've been able to catch them. I don't hate cops but this pisses me off.
fvckin idiots!! whats the need for that lol i didnt watch the second one but the first one they did nothing wrong... choking kids out when they were like "sir we are riding skateboards" loser
wow, that first vid really pissed me off. If that was my little brothers or sisters i would have definitly have picked up a new assault charge... Some cops are awesome, but unfortunately some are like this.
People is a position of power tend to abuse it from time to time. Just so happens these incidents were caught on camera.
Also, although they aren't adults, being able to defend themselves hsouldn't have much to do with it, seeing as how if you defend yourself against the cops, right or wrong, you're f*cked.
well i be those kids got a nice settlement after showing that video. unless the jury/judge were douches and decided skater deserve this. BS is what it is.
