With the rear view footage now available, it does look like the cop leans in or braces against the collision. I'm actually kind of amazed he stayed standing at the speed the skater was going. Skater shouldn't have flown so close to the sun, but worse is the officer trying to stop somebody in such an unsafe manner.

Congratulations you're an asshole?

Nope. I Just look at it differently than you. Maybe its old age, I dont know, but I just see an angsty teenager pushing his luck and being direspectful.

It's good that being disrespectful warrants a cop breaking your bones

If it was someone on inlines do you think the skateboarders would have cheered?

Its good. Yes. No matter what. Every time a teenager gets out of line break a bone.

The skaters were already trolling/protesting, I think his intent was to swerve around using the cop as a chicane and bank in front of the cop car. I've actually skated in this spot. It's steep but you could make that turn/slalom.

Seems like a really bad idea though. (as is knocking a speeding skateboarder over)

Neither person involved made good decisions.

And btw when I lived up the street on 21st and Church, there was "no skateboarding" at that park. Not sure about now.

I'd imagine the "no consequences" card is the bigger issue then average skater trolling.

Jesus christ....


That's a dude on a power trip right there

Deadspin has collected more videos showing different angles of the tackle.

This answers the question of how the skater was going to stop in time, the guy in front of him cleared both the truck and the car no problem, the cop decided to start shit.

Cop definitely shoulder checked him

Ahh so you're just trolling...
