Earlier this week some 50 high school students expressed their right to freedom of speech by bravely confronting Bush on the use of torture and demanding an end to it
But, on June 21st in the town of Hot Springs, some teens rights were brutally put to a stop. Arkansas Officer Joey Williams took the law literally into his own hands. He assaulted kids riding on skateboards.
Hot Springs, Arkansas (KTHV) – Hot Springs police are looking into an officer’s actions after an Internet video appeared to show him choking three teens who were skateboarding near the city’s famed Bathhouse Row.
We’re living in a country where innocent kids, who want to go out and just have some fun, are instead are getting beaten and harrassed by the police. I’m not anti police, and no one should be, but when police use excessive force to end a problem, because they are too stupid to fix the situation the right way, there is a problem.
The tape of the beating was posted Monday on YouTube:
There is still no official word on exactly why the teens were assaulted. Think Youth is keeping in touch with the both sides involved, an update will come shortly.

“There’s Something About That Courage”
What the health?
This isn’t the whole video but, i still think that the officer used way to much force. a girl does not need to be choked.
It happens not only in your country.
I live in Krakow, Poland. About two years ago we had a similar situation here. A group of policemen attacked students after a rock concert they’ve been attending, and especially one officer was brutally beating and kicking people.
What the heck…Girls don’t need to be chocked!
