I wonder why he inquires about where the kid is from? (Are you from the county?) It sounds like the mentality is "I'll show you the baddest dude (pun intended) in town," plus a little class envy thrown in there also. This is a sad but all too frequent approach by insular law enforcement officers trying to maintain some "street respect" among kids who have no idea about the officer's world. Of course, he has no idea about their world either. That's why I favor community policing, with its emphasis on knowing the community you encounter. These kids were not obsequious, but they were not disrespectful either--at least by the standards of a democracy. He may have just had a bad day, but who just ignores a running video-recorder even on a bad day. That's simply stupid. Wow quite the public servant.

Officer Riviera is a model of respect due - as shown. This makes about as much sense as the parent who spanks a child for hitting another child on the playground etc etc etc Ya gotta love cell-phone technology.

Yet another example of a person emotionally ill-equipped for the position he is in. Sad but all to common.
