A Baltimore police officer shown on a YouTube video berating and roughly handling a skateboarder at the Inner Harbor has been suspended.
Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Baltimore Police Department and the mayor’s office, says the incident involving Officer Salvatore Rivieri, a 17-year-old veteran, is the subject of an internal affairs investigation.
Get this bit:
Paul Blair, head of the police union, had not seen the video but he warns that videos show only part of a story.
Tell me, Mr. Blair, what this video shows.
