Following on from last month's Skateboarder arrested in San Francisco post, check out this video recently uploaded onto Youtube of a skateboarder being harrassed by a police officer in Baltimore.

The video clearly shows the 14-year-old apologising to the police officer and advising that he did not hear him, yet for some reason the officer develops a temper and manhandles him.

As if this was not enough, the officer then returns to unleash a torrent of abuse on the kid for good measure.

There are so many things wrong with this video that I don't even know where to start.

Makes you think twice about giving a policeman some lip. What do you think?

Oh, but he did - he called him Dude.

Obviously this officer's parents didn't stop shoving food in his mouth. Love how at the end he asks about the camera. He deserves to get fired. Hopefully he ends up working on a dude ranch.

Awww.... you gotta feel sorry for the big guy. He obviously must have some deep rooted problems elsewhere and this kid was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The cuddly bear just needs a comforting hug... and a doughnut.

In other news, I would have been a little worried if the kid got taken away. It could have been like that scene at the start of Mystic River. Yeesh!
