Skater Punched by LAPD

In all seriousness I will reserve judgement on this until I can see the video, and any corresponding evidence as to the skateboarder's actions leading up to the incident in question. Until then, all my assertions are merely for jest. Except the wedgie comment. That is truth.

Google the kid's name and you can find the video. I didn't post it because there is cursing. It starts w/ him on the ground though. Regardless...he had 3 cops on him and was clearly wasn't going anywhere. There was no need to punch him in the face and the cops needs to be disciplined.

I will when I get home. So if the video starts with him restrained, what led up the restraint?

He was holding a bag of skittles.

He is lucky they restrained themselves.

I owned that t-shirt in the 80s!

Huh, I owned skateboarders in the 80's.

Kid says it was for skating on the wrong side of the street. Police say he resisted arrest. If I read/heard correctly. But again, either way...once they had him under control there was no need to punch him in the face.

I am not passing judgement one way or another until the entirety of the situation is revealed.

No need for it -- just one of the job perks.

We've all seen videos of skaters crashing into pavement, over hand rails, etc. These little turds are made of rubber. A few punches by a cop is nothing more than a normal afternoon of getting all "Jackass" with their friends.

I cut my boxers up a little before I head to areas that have parking meters.

Tearaways, like the jerseys in the '70s. Bring them back.
