The other day, Mike Beer City
and his friend Jeff were skating
when a cop motioned to Jeff that
it was time to leave. So they rode
down the sidewalk and the cop
ran across the street yelling and
screaming. Mike and Jeff told
him to calm down and said they
were doing nothing wrong. He
then asked Mike for his deck and
said they were going to get
their decks taken away and be
cited for skateboarding. Jeff
asked the cop for his badge
number and the cop blurted it
out and screamed to Jeff, "Give
me your deck or I'll smack you!"
Mike quickly said, "You're going
to smack him?" Then the pig
tried to kick Mike between the
legs but Mike moved and only
got kicked in the upper thigh.
Then the cop hit Mike in the face
with the blunt end of the tail. The
cop was shocked when Mike
didn't move an inch and was so
scared that he dropped the deck
and tried to knock down Jeff. By
that time other cops were on
the scene and the pig that origi-
nally stopped them told the oth-
ers to cuff Mike and Jeff. Many
passerbys witnessed this and
stuck around to make complaints
against the officer that made
the assaults. Mike and Jeff are
going to sue him and use some
of the cash to build a public
skatepark in Milwaukee that
everyone can ride for free!
