24. He grabbed him around the neck ...

... and pushed him to the ground.

That's assault and battery for a normal person, regardless of whether the kid is traumatized for life. And one could make a rather decent argument he threatened to kill him. I mean, what precisely is any person supposed to think when a person with a gun who is obviously off his cork starts yammering about how riding a skateboard or calling people "dude" could get them killed?

Lawsuits have been filed and won for sillier reasons, and I repeat, if that were me, Middle Aged Everyman, my ass would be in jail.

That guy should not be allowed to be a cop at the least.
