looking for fax software free download? then this free guide is going to help you find out how to download the best online fax program to send and receive faxes easily from your computer via email. you cannot ensure this in every way as any person can dispense with the warning and want to read the fax anyway. it is inconvenient for people who use fax services on regular basis because of the noise and heat problems.

Blatant threatening to break the kid’s arm. Totally illegal.

Actually, it IS illegal. On sidewalks. Check my flickr page, or the signs at the intersections at Mission and 17th, if you want proof that you are wrong.

This kid is a punk, just like most of the teenage skateboarding trash encountered at the mall here in California that I work at. These kids have zero respect for authority, and that officer was just using a scare tactic, and the kid sure as hell earned it. Maybe if his parents had taught him some manners and common courtesy, he wouldn’t have broken rules requiring an officer’s presence. The little prick deserved what he got, and shame on people for saying “poor teenager”. He’s obviously a spoiled brat that needed to be put in his place. You should see the blatant disrespect the skateboarders show to security in San Diego, it’s disgusting. When these kids break the rules, I say confiscate their boards, and make the parents come pick them up. Make the kids have to answer for what they are doing and MAYBE they’ll lose their self entitled attitude and shape up!

tough-guy cop was an ego-tripping jerk. for what reason was he ridiculing and baiting the kid, other than to provoke a response? (excedrin, ashamed of yourself, etc.) granted, dumb move for the kid to call mr.tough cop what he did, but psycho-cop lost it — kid wasn’t ‘resisting’ when the cop threatened to break his arm like a twig, but psycho-cop knows he can claim that there was resistance, and no one would believe otherwise.. note how tough-cop chided the onlookers saying ‘go ahead and file a complaint’ — he knows that citizens complaints are a waste of time, cops face no consequences (the ‘brothers-in-blue’ always protect one of their own)…
you-tubed, caught on tape being a total jerk, lying about it for all to see, it’s these LEO’s who give them all a bad name…

well…I don’t think it was a threat. The man was resisting arrest. The officer attempted to cuff him and he pulled his arm away. Now the officer, has every right to restrain him. If he fights back, the officer can do whatever he needs to in order to get him cuffed. The man can cooperate or he can be Billy Badass and get his arm broken in the process. It’s not a threat, it’s a warning. This officer gave this idiot chances all up and down the street. As for the kicking (which we don’t see), that officer can use his hands, his feet, his legs or whatever else to get this man, who is resisting, to get in the patrol car. You think this officer is going to threaten people and beat them for shits and giggles in broad daylight in San Francisco of all places? Come on. This officer just wanted to check for warrants or records and just cite or warn these guys and get back to real work. If these people want to complain about it, they have every right. I don’t see anything wrong here. It’s a righteous arrest. There is real unjustice here in the Mission, I think the people with the lipstick cams and smart-ass mouths should go out and find it somewhere else.

You people complaining about an adult threatening to beat up a kid need to watch the video again, turn up the volume on your computer, and listen closely. In the beginning of the video, Officer Schwab radios in the “kid’s” name and date of birth. Some of it is unintelligible, but the “kid” was born in 1986, which makes him an adult, not a minor, and certainly old enough to know better.

That said, I don’t think that the cop did anything wrong. Skateboarding on the sidewalk is illegal. He probably would have given a warning and let the “kid” go if the “kid” had not mouthed off to him. The reason for the arrest, from what I have read elsewhere, is that the “kid” did not have identification on him.

You all are failing to address what the real issue is– threatening to break an arm (especially couched in ‘stop resisting’ isn’t going to get him in trouble or called to task)….

At the end of the video, 2 witnesses say they say Officer Schwab, 2099 kick the kid while he was in handcuffs. That’s unnecessary use of force– and should/could be taken to OCC for it.

Actually I must object – there are LOTS of cops in the Mission, and just like the popular myth, they are undercover. There are the obvious Jocks with Tattoos cops, but there are much more clever officers out especially when there is a sweep going on…pushing shopping carts, driving Child Molester vans, riding unmarked bikes (horrors), etc. This is all stuff I’ve seen recently, as a bust erupts right by me by undercovers first backed up by the boys in the blue Crown Vic and finally the B&Ws. They are watching more than you think, but often you are not that interesting drinking your beer, smoking your blunt, catchin your tag – roll of the dice whether they take you down. There are also beat cops in uniform at 3am – that’s really disturbing.

Aggressive douchebags often (but not always, Officer Cool, I know you’re out there.) become cops. That PO is not a rookie, though. It pays to expect to be treated uncivily by 50 and counter with unbreakable civility – they hate that, but it almost always results in personal and financial freedom. Some kids learn how to work it, some get sent back to Sebastapol.
