Baltimore Police Officer Fired
Posted by bk - August 25th, 2010 9:40 pm
In a news shocker for all those directly involved, Baltimore’s brash and hot-headed cop has been fired stemming from a now-famous incident with a 14-year old skateboarder which was caught on tape just over three years ago. The Baltimore Sun reports that the Baltimore Police Commissioner overruled a disciplinary panel’s recommendation today and released veteran officer Salvatore Rivieri from his duties immediately. He was within a year of retirement with full benefits. Apparently there’s truth to the saying, “Payback is a bitch.”







Yesssssssssssssss! Real justice for that pig!!!!
Good.
seeing cops get what they deserve is rare, this is not only a win for skateboarders, but for all who have been harrassed by dick cops who abuse their power.
dude, hell yes. I was just showing some non-skaters this video the other day to emphasize how bad we had it.
Well done Charm city!
nice!
Hell yes!
bummer on the benny’s
This is fucking awesome to see. The dude is totally fucked for retirement cause he is a child beating douchebag… i hope he regrets this till his dying breath
there can be no peace without justice……..justice is served……
for once baltimore does the right thing. now lets keep the ball rolling and get that skatepark built thats been in the works for the last 7 years.
Fuck yes!
this is all about money not justice. if he had been on the job only three years he would have got leave with pay. since he was about to retire baltimore city doesnt have to pay retirement and beni\efits. baltimore is a corrupt city. but i am glad another a-hole is off the beat
so stoked! everybody check out globalskateboardingnetwork.com! we got coverage of it over there as well!
that cop is seriously fucked up. While it’s good his ass is toast, there are way too many power-hungry brick heads waiting to harass people who are only practicing their sport.
so many cops are dicks. a few are nice. it’s amazing justice was served. in this one particular case the system works.
i hope the kid got his skateboard back.
No doubt the dude was a prick but I am not down for the fact that after all the years on the force this guy is about to lose his 20+ years worth. I would be more than satisfied if the little shit on his board gave a good swift kick to the guys nuts with the intent of ridiculing the guy on Youtube.
Ah shit, here we go. Traffic, go suck a dick you fucking
chode. How the F do you know the dood hasn’t been
harassing people his whole career. This time he got
caught on camera, ’cause it’s a new whole age bitch! These
assholes can’t get away with that shiite NO MORE! Thanks.
Jerkins you are a douche for starting your post out with “Ah shit, here we go.” You must be a lurker from the SLAP! boards who lost his way. Looks like you are looking to start a “discussion” that results in battering some dude to death verbally for expressing his opinion. Grow up.
FUCKIN PIG!!!!! Hows he gonna pay for the rest of his sunday sofball games with the rest of the pigs?
murder all police
i can totally see this crazed baltimoron going on a spree… skaters in b-more b-ware… getting shitcanned and losing his shit w/ a year to go had to leave a bad taste in his mouth.
Stay away from the mall, there’s a new sherif in town!
If he done it once-he’s done it before. Now with video evidence there’s no turning back. A year before retirement? He has no one to blame but himself. Fuck him! Now he’ll have to get a job guarding an empty parking lot or a construction site.
Congratulations Jerkins you’ve just turned yourself into that cop with that post. Firing him is harsh, suspension is the proper punishment. The cop has been justly ridiculed for his behavior. However the content of most of these posts are far worse and show a much greater lack of character and respect by skateboarders. Being a cop this has reaffirmed my approach to the same situation, by maintaining my proffesionalism and simply issuing the proper tickets for the violation and not lowering myself to the standards exhibited in these posts. I’m sure my peers will remember this when making the decision to issue or not to issue the tickets. So your welcome.
And half of what has been posted is exactly what is wrong with this world. Makes me furious every time someone takes the side of the skateboarder. I have nothing against skateboarders, it’s the parents that make me mad. If they had raised their kid to respect authority figures this never would of happened. I’m sorry but when a police officer tells you not to ride your skateboard, the reply is “yes sir” and you leave. If that was my kid, first his skateboard would of been taken away and than he would of written an apology to that officer. I agree that the officer should of been suspended for some of the comments he made to the kid., but fired never. My grandfather was an officer in Baltimore city when you could get away with using your night stick and you were a hero. Now everybody wants to whine and than they wonder why there is so much crime.
fucking DUDE got what he deserves. let kids skate. just think, they could be sitting home doing drugs, but instead theyre outside being active. i hope that cop or parents read this and REALIZE. ive skated for over 10 years and i love it still. PRAISE THE BOARD!!! Hallelujah can i get an amen!
Respect is earned slm. Not given to some prick with an over inflated ego
yes respect is earned Crazyfox. And I don’t agree with everything the cop did. But if that I was my kid, I’d be more upset that my son was for one breaking the rules, and second not doing what he was told by the cop. All he had to do was just leave, not try and show off how cool he was in front of his friends. All it shows is how much of an idiot he is. If he has no respect for a cop will he have respect for anyone. I’m sorry but when I was younger, a teacher, cop, or even another parent told me not to do something I said yes and that was that, I didn’t mouth off to them. Because if my parents found out, I would not have ever seen the light of day again!!!
Look first off this whole thing was caused by a punk kid who was breaking the law. But that being said the asshole cop was a power hungry dip shit. The cops problem seems to be that the kid didn’t address him as sir or officer. Someone should tell that cop respect is earned not automatically given. And nowhere in the law does it state cops are to be reffered officer and by calling him dude is breaking the law and justifies his response.
BUT THE MAIN THING IS BMORE COPS SHOULD KNOW BEATING ON UNEDUCATED JIGABOOS IS OK BUT AS SOON AS U HARM A WHITE CHILD IT ASS IS GRASS. KEEP THE BEAT. DOWNS WHERE THEY BELONG AND THATS ON THE JIGS
I do believe all of the concepts you have introduced in your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. May just you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
