Last year the City of Chico passed a law banning "coasting devices" from City Plaza after complaints about skateboarding.
Here's a video showing how not to handle law breakers. Yes, the kid was in violation for skateboarding in that particular public space and he doesn't know how to properly address an officer.
But Officer Salvatore Rivieri, who was suspended from his Baltimore job with pay, was clearly overreacting.
He's so excessive with his tough love approach that I was waiting for him to tell these kids to start doing 100 push-ups, followed by jumping jacks.
In the video, Officer Rivieri also says: "If you call me dude one more time. ... Are you from the county or something?"
Funny he should make this statement because this is exactly what I always tell Supervisors Maureen Kirk and Jane Dolan whenever I see them. Are you from the County or something? And stop calling me dude. My name is Dan.
Too bad Officer Rivieri didn't have a Disorderly Events ordinance to enforce too. He might have yelled at everyone else in the surrounding area.
I'm done typing for the day. It's time to go back to work at the ranch. Dude.
Today's Scrabble word is sprent, or sprinkled over.
