Cops On A Power Trip: Stopping Ambulances, Tackling Skateboarders, and Sweating Snowballs

It seems like forever cops have been noted for being in their heads on their own little power trip because well... they're allowed, and in some places required, to carry guns pretty much at all times. Knowing that they'd win in any fight has apparently blown up a few of their heads so much that they don't even think twice about pulling their steel and endanger or at least terribly frighten the innocent.

We'll start chronologically. Back in August 2005, over 90 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies broke up a party in Utah that was held on private and public property. They had deemed it a rave party, and stormed in using night vision, K-9s, full SWAT gear, and fully automatic weapons. The only arrests that were made were on the security for drug possession, and the ranch owner for a handgun. Too bad for security, it's likely that the drugs that were in their posession were seized from the people entering the party.

Now we'll skip ahead to February 2008, when the now famous Officer Rivieri takes the stage. Officer Rivieri is clearly not a dude. He tries to tell these children that they can't be skateboarding, then immediately throws one of them to the ground that made the terrible mistake of calling him "dude." If you ever encounter this guy, make sure that you don't make the same mistake.

Officer Rivieri's stunt with the skater managed to get him some publicity, and a previous encounter was revealed. Billy Friebele saw the public airing of the youtube video of Officer Rivieri and turned in his own video of the cop. In this case, Officer Rivieri sprung into action at the sight of a moving box.

In May of 2009, a couple of angry troopers went on this powertrip. This guy is possibly the worst of them all, pulling over an ambulance with a patient inside just because they "failed to yield to an emergency vehicle." Last time I checked, an ambulance was an emergency vehicle. In my opinion, an ambulance is the most important of the emergency vehicles because they carry the medics that save people's lives if they are hurt during an EMERGENCY. The video is pretty ridiculous, the officer puts the guy that's in charge of the medical unit in an open-joint chokehold.

And last but not least, December 19th 2009, this sissy fu fu off-duty cop got his panties in a bunch when his Hummer was hit by a snowball. His reaction? PULL A GUN ON THAT PUNK! The guy was apparently in his car and got out with his gun drawn on the snowball throwers.
