Unfortunately, there is no shortage of bad cop videos on YouTube. In this one, an officer harasses a young teen who may have been skateboarding in a place where it wasn’t allowed, but does nothing to provoke the tirade that the cop goes on.
The cop starts out yelling at the young man, then proceeds to grab him, take away his skateboard, and push him onto the ground. Before it’s over, he says something that would have been construed as a death threat had someone said it to the cop.
It’s officers like this that give the police a bad name and foster disrespect for authority in young people. I hope he loses his job and has to clean toilets for a living.
