I am at work and can't see it, but I am assuming it is the Baltimore cop who lost it with the skater dudes.
I hate it when stuff like that happens, the cop lost his cool and will probably lose his carreer over it.
As a cop, I have to deal with people every day who disrespect me, try to get me to lose my cool, want me to overreact so the can"get paid". I have been fortunate so far that I can separate "me" from attacks on the uniform or "authority".
Incidents like this also give fuel to all the anti-police types who don't care that the cop has done right and good for 15 or 20 years. They just want to tear down whoever they can for whatever money they can make.
Of course that cop may be a real A-Hole who shoudn't be on the job, I don't know him so I can't say.
In the end, you can't go putting hands on folks unless you are arresting them. And you can't throw someone to the ground for calling you "dude".
