Why do cops hate skaters?

Answer 1

They don't hate us; they're just doing their job. They actually don't want us to hurt ourselves or others, because then the land owners could get sued for letting us skate and getting injured. So, land owners actually may hate us, and the cops get paid to stop us.

Well that's it for the most part. They are just doing there jobs. People say skaters are just smart-asses that don't give, but not all of us are like that. I for example skate using physics and common sense. so skating is a good thing if you think about it. people are just worried about kids or people around getting hurt and them suing. so cops come to stop us or just tell us to get away. the only reason they come is because the people inside are busy and the police are the only law force around. so its really just doing there job. but some cops do hate skaters. alot of the time nicer places have stair sets and rails and ledges so we skate there since its the best place in town. and police have to stop what they are doing and come to get us just to say you cant skate here. wouldn't you be mad if you had to drive across town to say one sentence then get talked back to by some kid with skinny jeans and a flanell. i mean seriously its a waste of time. so ya that's the reasons i got.

Many people feel that skaters are rude and disrespectful. What to them may seem fun and playful can be seen by others as dangerous and inappropriate. Skaters in public areas can create a hazard for people, and damage public and private property, through their actions or by accident.

It's the same with almost any 'identifiable' group. People remember those skaters who have frightened or inconvenienced them, maybe by riding in the street, and assume that the whole group is just as 'bad'. because were kool
