Asshole. Hope he gets canned.

Wow...he and his colleague are dressed just like Officer Dick in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

I didn't exactly see what the other guy and the girl were doing that necessitated them being placed in a headlock though...this guy needs to go.

being a 31 yr old skater myself this dude just about sucked..but thanks to the popularity of sites like myspace and youtube..the guys been placed on leave..all the email addresses and phone numbers to the chief of police/the mayor etc. were given and after thousands of angry emails they've all been shut off. so all i can say is fuck that cop and all the rest that are like him...abusing their power..i completly respect cops but when they push it too far they're no longer cops just complete assholes who don't deserve any respect whatsoever

thats totally what cops keep forgetting...is the age of people who started fucking with cops while on their skateboards are now old enough to do somthing about it...that was just fucking retarded...

Mother fuck the POLICE

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

(07-03) 08:48 PDT LITTLE ROCK, (AP) – A police officer who appeared to choke a skateboarder and put two others in a headlock in a video posted online used appropriate force when making his arrests, an internal police investigation found. The Hot Springs Police Department Internal Affairs Board found the use of force was within the police department’s policy on non-deadly force and recommended “no changes to this policy.” The decision was released Monday. Officer Joey Williams confronted a situation that “would have overwhelmed any single officer” when he stopped those breaking a Hot Springs city ordinance by skateboarding on a downtown sidewalk June 21, the report said. However, Williams was faulted for leaving a handcuffed suspect unattended while chasing another youth in the resort town’s historic Bathhouse Row. Williams has been on administrative leave since the video hit YouTube on June 25. Police said he would return to active duty Thursday in the city’s downtown. “I think it was fair,” City Manager Kent Myers said. Witnesses “consistently supported the actions of the officer and his efforts to control the situation.” Video from a business’ security cameras shows 10 skateboarders rolling down the city sidewalk at a good clip, followed by Williams, who sprints past the last skater. A video taken by skateboarders and later posted on YouTube shows Williams on top of one of the skaters, apparently choking him. The video also showed Williams putting another two skateboarders in a headlock, and the officer can later be heard threatening to use pepper spray on a skateboarder lying on the ground. Police said they arrested Matthew Jon McCormack, 21, and Skylar Nalls, 19, both of Hot Springs, and four juveniles. McCormack faces a misdemeanor battery charge accusing him of pushing or striking a 67-year-old city employee during the melee. Nalls was cited for skateboarding and faces misdemeanor charges of fleeing and obstructing governmental operations. McCormack has previously disputed many of the police allegations, especially his battery charge. He has said he pulled on the city employee’s arm after the man lifted a girl off her feet in a choke-hold. Hot Springs is a resort town about 50 miles west of Little Rock.

I am sorry but the cop totally chokes that teenage girl...thats fucking bull shit...

what we used to do to piss off the cops and security guards where they said we couldnt skate was to play baseball or some other jerkass sport and there wasn't shit they could do about it..granted i understand what skateboarding does to 100,000 marble but saying no skateboarding on streets/sidewalks is a bit ridiculous.and then choking out some little kids, is way over the top..i love how the article says that the officer was overwhelemd or something like that..if a cop can get overwhelmed by a few little kids..how safe does that really make you feel?

I'd like to see him try that on Mike Vallely.

brutal bullshit. for a cop to choke out a teenage chick like that, i'm moving to that town to vote for his bulletproof vest to be made of tissue paper.

i hope he has some kids and the day comes where some fat fuck wrings the necks of his offspring for skateboarding.

seriously who watches the watchmen?

I hate skate boarders and have wanted to do that on many occassions. Skateboarding may not be a crime, but it sure as hell is annoying.
