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.

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.
