Skateboarder Smashes The Windshield Of A Cop Car

A LONE police officer had her patrol car windscreen smashed by an angry 12-year-old boy wielding a skateboard at Caroline Bay on Saturday.

The constable was at the skatepark on Caroline Bay responding to complaints from the public about a group of young boys, aged about 12, who were causing problems in the area on Saturday afternoon.

She took one of the boys home because of his behaviour, and then returned to the skatepark to ensure that the rest of the group were behaving.

Acting sergeant Greg Sutherland said one 12-year-old in the group gave the constable the fingers and was using offensive language to her, so while sitting in the patrol car, she beckoned him to come to her.

“He walked toward the patrol car, got to the passenger side, and used his skateboard to smash the windscreen on the passenger side three times.”

Mr Sutherland said the boy was arrested and would be dealt with by Youth Aid on charges of wilful damage and disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence.

When asked why he had smashed the windscreen, the boy said he thought the constable had taken his cousin into custody, so he was upset.

    He did the right thing.

  3. GFYM says:

    No, stupid angry kid.
    All he should have done was asking what happen to his cousin.

    And if they have behaved normally, the cop wouldn’t have been there in the first place.

  4. Asshat says:

    GFYM is right, if they were behaving like people insted of morons, shit wouldn’t have gone down like that. The kid is clearly a douche.

  5. zevian says:

  6. Skateboard Trick says:

    Poor cop. Brave to the skateboarder.

  7. 2k says:

    you really think he did the right thing. You’re an idiot. It was uncalled for and i hope they throw him in juvenile hall. Why do you think skateboarding isn’t allowed in alot of places.

    At least it’s safe to say videogames had nothing to do with this. If they did, he would’ve just punched her in the face, pulled her out of the car, and then driven off to do vigilante missions for cash for a couple hours.

    They’re fucking twelve. They were acting like punks.

    That said, dumb bitch needs to fuck off.

    @GFYM: Ya, ve should all behave nourmally and be ze good boys und giles, never act oop und always always obey ze authority. Zoon ve shall have ze cheeldren vear uniforms und zen they vill march oop und down ze street, happy little soldi-… cheeldren…

    In all seriousness though, the kid was 12… I just have a problem saying that children should behave “normally.” What exactly does that mean? What’s wrong with a little acting out against authority, let him. Hell a few years later and he’d land in jail, at least he’s getting this out of the way.

    Anything you can do with anger you can do better without.

    hey guys, stop joking around about this stuff. my friend died hitting a cop car with his skateboard. this isn’t some sort of joke. you people need to be more respectful to others.

    I was a punk skater for a decade, even though I refused to be a sheeple, I still knew when to keep my mouth shut. People may not like cops, but they are just doing a job – a hard one, and that doesn’t give a punk ass kid the right to mouth off, much less smash a windshield out. (at least not with a cop around – you gotta know when to cool it)

    There really is no excuse for that. It’d be interesting to see what other charges this person picks up over the next 10 years. I am betting it will be a long rap sheet.

    Skateboarders will always be at odds with cops, its like the yin and yang. Hopefully that cop learned her lesson and so did the skateboarder.
