Salvatore Rivieri, a police officer of 17 years was suspended after this video of him attacking a kid appeared on YouTube!
In the video it shows him putting the 14 year old boy in a headlock and shouting “Obviously, your parents don’t put a foot in your butt quite enough, because you don’t understand the meaning of respect. First of all, you better learn how to speak. I’m not ‘man.’ I’m not ‘dude,’ I am Officer Rivieri. The sooner you learn that, the longer you are going to live in this world. Because you go around doing this kind of stuff and somebody is going to kill you.”
All because the kid was skating in a ‘no skating zone’. The boy did not once resist or cause a scene so the officer was well out of line!
Would this have happened in UK? One officer against a group of UK kids? I doubt it, I think the officer would have been the one getting attacked with their skateboards and backup being called! See video below.
Luckily, that officer is now suspended!
