Look’s like this version is a short clip from a longer video by a local skate video group the INBRED BOYS.
Here’s the full length clip. (cop-hitting-skater starts at 21:18)
Style Weekly got a brief statement from ‘The Police’ (not sure if State, city, or VCU Campus police)
here’s what they got told:
State police is aware of this edited video as this incident occurred approximately nine months ago in the City of Richmond near the VCU campus. This is not the full length video. Virginia State Police has seen the full video and investigated the crash following Department policy and procedures. The trooper did stop at the scene and followed proper Departmental procedures. The individual was assessed at the scene by emergency personnel for a minor injury but was not transported from the scene to the hospital. This is a personnel matter and state police does not have further comment on this incident.
If you know any members of the INBRED BOYs, please have them get up with us – hello@rvamag.com. We’d love to hear what happened.
