Park Ranger Attacked.....

~kaIypso~ — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 22:32:41 GMT

Park Ranger Attacked & the attack was video taped.

I love what the one officer said... had the police taken the attackers in and scratched the perpetrators they would have screamed police brutality.

And the crowd stood around and watched.

With the contempt the public displays for policemen and others of authority I am surprised that anyone goes into that profession anymore. Imho they deserve combat pay!

The respect shown for law enforcement is disheartening.

So they didn't ""take the attackers in""? What provoked the initial physical attack?

I know it is not much of a help to this horrible story (local for me) BUT:

1) the people around supposedly were scared to step in

2) the companion person to the attacker was filming this as it was happening and has turned the film over to a local news station.

3) the local news station interviewed the attacker, and he confessed on tape to them.

4) that man has just been arrested.

He told them skateboarding was not allowed in the park.

(from what I have read)

Do you suppose you could provide a little detail? I don't know what you're talking about.

The person video taping needs to be arrested as well.

I heard they are looking for the person who was agitating the situation on.

Love Park, Phila PA

You can read the story on our local 6abc station page. Just 6abc, not 6abcnews.

Why, he did not do anything illegal. Immoral, not illegal.*

*as far as the info is now, if it is found that he did do something illegal I agree with you

"PHILADELPHIA - A park ranger is recovering after being brutally beaten while on duty at a park in central Philadelphia, reports CBS Philly.

According to the Philadelphia Police, the unidentified 35-year-old ranger saw several young men skateboarding in the city's Love Park on Friday evening. The station reports the ranger used his radio to call his supervisor and then approached the men to tell them they weren't allowed to skate in the park. One young man allegedly refused to leave and began swearing and threatening the ranger.

Video of the incident shows the young man wrestling the ranger to the ground, according to CBS Philly. The assailant stomps on the ranger and repeatedly kicking him in the head. He also appears to spit on him."

The person agitating the situation can be charged if they do so. It is like yelling fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Reckless Endangerment.

you have no proof that the second person did that. I am not saying he did not, but right now that is not the info that has been released.

There were two recording, right? One from afar and one right there by the poor ranger.

Re: Park Ranger Attacked.....

Marianne1 — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:04:22 GMT

They are still looking for 2 other people to question, so the investigation is ongoing.

ALL responsible parties who acted illegally should be charged.

I thought there was one recording, who was not a part of the attack?
