Wow... ALL of this bullshit could have been avoided if the kid would of had just a little respect, even if the officer is out of control like this one.
I don't feel sorry for the kid at all, but I also think Officer Rivieri should find a new line of work.
Summary of video: It appears that the officer told everyone to stop skateboarding and was in the process of leaving. However, one kid had his IPOD playing in his ears and probably didn't hear him. After the kid is told again to stop skateboarding, he talks to the officer disrespectfully. The officer goes to confiscate his skateboard but the kid doesn't comply, which leads to the officer forcefully collecting it from him.
The kid obviously didn't show any respect to the officer and deserved to get pushed around, while the officer obviously has some attitude (and probably authority complex) problems he needs to work out.
