is it right that cops come and piss us off for just skateboarding at the school?

Firstly, Cops (nor anyone else) do not piss you off. You choose to be. If you choose not to be pissed off, then you won't be. It's called a Victim mentality. You own your emotions, no one else.\n\nSecondly, since I am a cop I can say this much… I remove skaters from areas that are posted with no skateboarding signs, where vandalism is a common occurrence or where there are trespass warnings (both the kind you see and the kind you never knew). I do not, nor do I know any other officers, that set out to “piss” people off. It is merely enforcing the laws that are applied upon them. You may not be a problem, but the two dozen other skateboarders before you might have been.

Yes. My brother got a ride to work after he wrecked his car on icy pavement. And I got a ride on a holiday when no bus or taxi was passing by. And the person that wrecks your day is usually yourself. The police is just keeping you from doing even greater harm to the general public. In fairness I must say that none of the above facts happened in the USA. One episode was in Germany and the other in Brazil. You have tough laws in the USA for things that are not even noticed in other countries. Like peeing on the street or drinking in public or prostitution

Of course not, lots of cops let the power go to their head and become real jerks and do bad things.  Its the few bad ones that give the good ones who are still human beings such a bad rep.

I don't know about anywhere else, but where I live, \nPolice are arogant S.O.B.'s \nI can't count on one hand how many times I drove by a posted police cruiser, and the bastard was sleeping. \n\nAnd then the day that my friend got jumped by 36 highschool students, we were RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from the police station. I was looking at it the whole time. And it took them 45 minutes to respond to 27 phone calls within 30 minutes. \nAs a result, the 36 students had plenty of time to send my friend into convultions from kicking his head around.

No, that's unethical and illegal, and not correct law enforcement practice.  Take it up with a superior at your local police station and make them pay for it.  This is why I don't think much of cops...they always seem to want to abuse their power...

Contact the cops and or move away.

Unfortunately, power in the hands of the wrong person is extremely dangerous.  Some Police Officers are civil and do not set out to hurt people...they just want to help stop crime and make it a safer world to live in.  Unfortunately, there are the bad ones who do it because they can.  They should not be allowed to get away with it.  In Australia there was so much bad publicity and complaints put in about police brutality, that the Police Force now is under constant scrutiny....and the majority of complaints are taken seriously.  The Police officers who beat people up should be reported and if more people did report this kind of behaviour then officers would be made to be accountable.  What about the mothers of these young guys.  If the mothers got together and each of them puts in a written complaint, then it would have to be taken seriously.  If more people would complain about Police brutality it would get rid of the bullies in the Police Force.  They only do it because they can get away with it.  Just because they are Police Officers, they cannot be a law unto themselves and if they commit a crime.....and beating up a person for no cause is a crime, then the police officer/officers should be prosecuted in a court of law.  They have to abide by all the laws that we have to abide by.  But only when it is reported can anything ever be done.  Like I said, they do it because they can and no-one is putting in written complaints to senior police officers.  As far as I know all written complaints have to be taken seriously and the offending officer will be asked to explain.

If the officer is nice enough to let me go, no I wouldn't ASK for a ticket, however, if I didn't do my homework and was given credit for it anyway, I WOULD point that out to my teacher. The difference being that the cop knows what I did wrong and is using his judgement to determine that I simply made a mistake, whereas the teacher made a mistake and I do not deserve credit for something I didn't do.

I agree you should Tell your school counselor, Or if it gets really bad call the cops!!! Especially if it get worse then verbal!! \n\nAlso sarcastic had a point, put it in a different category but I'm sure there isn't to much rif raff answering 360 questins but I'm sure we're not experts as much as the right category would be.

to correct information put out by the press or media, i would imagine you could contact them and ask about a retraction, as for the cops i don't see them doing anything as it is not their area to handle these kinds of matters. If the publicity causes pain and problems for you Godson, then it becomes a legal matter and getting an atty. probably will be the best answer for a resolution. Best of luck.

no, but then the police get away with a lot of things they shouldn't. There are good cops and bad cops!

They should be flogged by circus clowns. I HATE cops.

Yes, not a fun experience. The cops were azzholes and unprofessional.

No. The police actually have to have you clocked on radar to prove the violation.

Sounds like police brutality to me. What was the purpose of being there for so long ? Police should use enough force to control the subject, any force used after the point of control is called excessive force and is against the law.

Don't be afraid, just lubricate.\n\nNo, just joking.  That kind of thing doesn't really happen any more.  In every environment there are bullies.\n\nSeriously though, if anybody does something to you which is illegal (and sex with minors IS) then the police should be informed.  If the School don't want to, then go straight there yourself.
