Salvatore Rivieri's History of Violence
August 09, 2008
Salvatore Rivieri is a police officer with the Baltimore Police Department. He was put on paid administrative leave in February, after he was caught on video assaulting a 14-year old.
Maybe that 14-year old was a disrespectful punk who deserved to be taught to show some respect? That's a pretty revolting worldview, but it's one many people like Justice Antonin Scalia have. Fair enough; let's move on.
What did the artist in this video do to deserve Officer Rivieri's wrath?
How many other people have Officer Rivieri abused throughout his 17-year career? How many of those outbursts were not caught on video?
