Nothing official on the City of Baltimore or Baltimore Police Department websites either.
I also usually state that you have to see both sides of an issue when officer brutality is complained about. However, this is a obvious power trip by the 17 year veteran. The officer even acknowledged that the 14 year old had earphones, yet is still yelling at him.
In this situation, I would've told the officer to talk with my parents lawyer...granted, the kid was probably scarred to death that he was being treated this way over skateboarding. I see a civil suit coming out of it and the department loosing.
