True. But they had skateboards. Normally skateboards are used for skateboarding, don't you think?

It is true that they were skating before and were just hanging around that place. But why would the police officer tell them to not to skate if they weren't skating?

Of course i cannot prove it. In fact, you can't prove it. In fact, nobody can prove anything else than the fact that you exist in some form. Because, anything else can be an illusion or a dream.

So what does the mean "proving" mean? Convincing someone under some circumstances that something is true.

Now let's see what i can prove for "they were skateboarding".
-They had skateboards
-The police stopped them from skating

Now let's see what YOU have to base your claim on "they were not skateboarding".
-Nothing.

I think i have proved my point. They were skateboarding, the police had all rights to stop him, and the kid had no rights to be unrespectful.

That's a good one.

Is that what the cop said? Moron used a double negative.

It appears that this isn't the first time something like this has happened: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=867_1203133697

well the cop kind of blew it out of proportion. there's no reason to say someone would kill him for skateboarding or threaten him with going to juvenile hall over SKATEBOARDING.

He said if he went around calling anyone what he wanted, and not listening when they tell him not to call them that, he could say it to the wrong person and get killed. Not for skateboarding.
He said the kid could go to Juvenile Hall if he got defensive with him, not because he was skateboarding. "What" with a IDK-what-you're-talking-about-you-retard-motion is not a way to respond. (Which it sounds like he did, I have no idea though.)

He disobeyed the police's orders many times anyways.

Unrelated, but to be honest, I think they were skateboarding there on purpose with a conscious of skateboarding being banned, but "**** tha police, they're straightedges". I know plenty of people who skateboard/other things in places you're not allowed just to attract police. :roll:

Well, maybe not. The one in the black shirt makes it seem as if they didn't know, but Eric...

Now this is a tough decision. Either I agree with the cop or the kid.

I never liked skateboarders myself. They wear clothing five sizes too big for them and they lack proper grammar.

However, the cop overreacted. He was either raised right, but a bit too much... or raised wrong, but follows the very general terms of a mentor.

If the latter was so, he didn't think of the deep meaning and the fact that there are some exceptions to the term "respect."

Although I can sort of understand his problem with being called "dude." I don't like being called "dude". In fact, I prefer not to be referred as anything apart from my name, or "Hey" (If it's the latter, I usually look around right away.)

I saw this on the news that cop got suspended.
