Baltimore police officer Salvatore Rivieri, who was first seen wrestling a a 14 year-old skateboarder to the ground, is seen in this video, given to WMAR-TV, channel 2, by another man who was confronted in a similar manner. In this clip, Salvatore confronts Billy Friebele, an artist from Washington D.C., who was videotaping at the Harbor last summer (2007).
Friebele said he was taping the reactions of passersby to a box he was moving with a remote controlled car. Officer Rivieri is seen on tape kicking the box off of the car and then kicking the car. The officer then orders Friebele to leave the area.
Officer Rivieri is suspended without pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation of the incident with the skate boarder.
