No, not that story again… but it is along the same lines.

In the Inner Harbour area of Baltimore, US, Officer Rivieri is shown in this video manhandling a 14 yr old Skateboarder.

“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.”
