And I still think the kids are using a concealed minicam: fisheye lens, held a chest level most of the time, the motion......  it wasn't a cell phone, and it wasn't a typical camcorder they were using.   That, plus the snapshot photo shown lead me to believe the kids were looking for a confrontation to film.  

Too much about the backstory we don't know, but too much force?  Sorry, the kids were not the innocents of this episode either.

Fish eye lens shots are common in Skateboarding videos.  So it's not kosher to assume it's a hidden cam.

Give it two more years, they will be saying "stop or we open fire!"
Just another fat balding middle aged man acting out his jacked up behavior problems by taking the stance "i am teh law!"

Right,  i gotta 357 with your name on it.
Frak pig's government owned and ran bullies with a paycheck, *** em' all.
 Screw this nation, its "government" and the police.
To hell with em' all, same with your corperations.



The system.

wow!!! who put a quarter into that jukebox?

[hyena426]

what if you walk away? How about a nice slow shuffle?

if a cop says stop...by the law..you are suposta stop!! not keep walking away..not shuffle...not run!!. lol i dont like cops abusing people my self..but it was hardly a rodney king beating there folks..lol alot of skaters on here or somthing? lol your acting like it was a vicious beating...when i clicked on the link..that is what i was expecting..lol i was expecting a cop beating the hell out of some kids with clubs or worse...what i seen was some out of controll kids not lising to a cop. what did they expect? he was going to be nice ?

sure he was worked up a bit..but he was out of breath..frustrated with people who are not obeying the law..nor are they stopping when he ordered them too. so you all are saying its ok to run from a cop{or even walk} when he says stop and not expect him to take action to stop you? lol good luck with that. lol

Granted, this person could be full of it.  But there are aspects of the video that lead me to believe some (if not all) of what this eyewitness stated.

ya....more to this video then we can see i bet. was just some kids pushin the limits and when the cop finaly had anuff they screamed bloody murder..lol they said the kids had 2 cams. but we only see the tail end of everything that happend on only one cam. i dont trust there video at all. if the eyewitness was right ,they desurved the treatment they got even if it was a tad harsh.

Only question is if they were running from the cop.
How did one cop manage to catch all 4 youths?

As I stated before. Typically when a group of kids, or adults for that matter
Run from cops.
The only ones that stop are the ones that actually physically gets caught
Everyone else just keeps going.

The fact that the one cop all by himself. had all four kids there. makes it almost impossible for me to beleive they tried to run.

also just because the one kid said to run. Doesnt mean they all decided to run.
Which to me is a more likely scenareo.
The one kid said "run" the other kids not thinking it was a good idea decided not to.
Since he had no followers to run with him. he didnt either.
Or he did but didnt get far.
Either instance it pisses the cop off and we end up with what we see in the video

Some aspects seem to me to probably be exaggerated.
But. if he really was an Eyewitness it does shed some light into the probable true story and help to makes sense of it.

A Setup for the video for "skateboarders day".
This would explain to me how the cop managed to have all 4 there and not just the one he caught

NO adult has the right to put thier hands on a young kid like that. And yes when you put your hand around someones thought its choking. He may not have been puting all he had into it but its still over the top. A simple knee on the chest would have been enough (looking at his waist line it would have been more then enough) and hold one hand while your getting the cuffs. Once you got that hand cuffed twist the arm while standing up to get him to roll over. If he doesnt you twist more and he will. Again knee across the lower back while you get the other hand in.

Simple as that.

OH HELL NO! If the cop has to handle your kid like that, you are probably a failure as a parent.
