I am pretty sure the great Lord Total Biscuit, King of the Orc Peoples in the land of WoW Radio was from the other side of the pond. His name is from what our local term "total biscuit" has derived from, so naturally, I think he had a cookie in mind when he chose the name. However, since we are mostly yanks around here, I think a good ol' bready American style biscuit is acceptable. Either way, the meaning stays the same.

By what we see in the first video, yeah, the officer went overboard. We don't see what happened before it though, so it's quite possible that he was telling them repeatedly to stop skateboarding. Maybe they finally stopped and he didn't feel the need to go any farther at that point. Maybe he doesn't like being called a "dude" by what are obviously teenagers who could give two shits about what a cop says. I don't know. We'll have to wait for the investigation to finish to see what comes of it. It is interesting that this incident happened a year ago and is only now coming to light. Why did they wait so long? That seems odd to me.
In the second video, those kids clearly did not give a shit about the cop. Also, there appears to be an ordinance in that city that prohibits skateboarding. So yeah, maybe there are murderers, rapists, and drug dealers around, but that cop is patrolling that area and those kids were clearly violating a local ordinance. I also found this on another site:
"What an unfortunate situation to have occured in such a hospitable town as Hot Springs, Ark., host to nearly 3 million visitors a year.
Tourists particularly enjoy our historic downtown district, stretched primarily along a 10-block section of Central Avenue. Sandwiched between two mountains, a row of eight bathhouses - named a Historic Landmark District - faces dozens of shops on the opposite side of the street. Hot Springs National Park, celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, comprises the entire area.
To protect pedestrian safety, the City of Hot Springs passed an ordinance prohibiting bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates, rollerboards and any similar apparatus in these clearly marked areas. Tom Daniels, president of the Downtown Merchants Association, says despite strategically placed signs designating the no-wheels zones, skateboarding violations have been an ongoing problem.
Most of the time, local police just ask the skoarders to move on, and they do. This time, however, at least one of violators had already been asked to leave Exhange Street Parking Plaza before he joined the group of two adults (ages 21 and 19) and four juveniles (three 16-year olds and one 13-year old) on Central Avenue. According to newspaper interviews, several of the group knew they were violating the ordinance, but were prepared to lose their boards and possibly pay a fine. After they taped the event.
Did the arresting officer perform his job appropriately? We'll see. Should young teenagers be hanging out with 19- and 21-year old adults who have nothing better to do than skate through downtown during the summer? Probably not. Hello p-a-r-e-n-t-s? Does Hot Springs need another skating venue to add to the nine parks and Hot Springs Greenway where skating is already allowed? That's being discussed.
Thanks for helping us let the world know this video is neither a complete account of the skateboarding incident nor an accurate portrayal of Spa City, America's first resort."
I added the emphasis. It looks like not only were the kids violating an ordinance, but they knew it and wanted to get caught so they could get it on tape. This is happening all over the place. People are taping themselves violating the law and then screaming "police brutality!" in an effort to get cops fired. Ferris is 100% correct on his assessment. When a cop tells you to stop, you stop. You don't start running because you're instantly in violation of something (I can't remember what the cop said, but he used the term in the second video). Don't fight the cop either because then you're resisting arrest. Even if you think the cop is wrong, you stop and take your complaint before a judge. If you're in the right, you'll be vindicated. If you're not, you'll be paying a fine.
The kids think it's stupid to be arrested (it would've probably just been a fine) for skateboarding. Maybe it is. But you don't try to change the law on the street. This is something I don't expect a teenager to understand. Maybe when they're older they will. If you think a law is unjust, you petition your city to change it. You get signatures. We have a process for getting laws changed and it isn't by violating them.
EDIT: Here's the site where I found that quote http://arkansas.indymedia.org/feature/display/18895/index.php
You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.

nope. It is never appropriate for a barbaric animal to strangle to kids. He could have seriously injured them or killed them.

in memory of the orc attack lead by their Great Leader Total Biscuit, who defeated us in a forum war in a mere total of four post, I just thought I would bring out some classic TB quotes. Man, that was a funny week. Sometimes I wish Hotrod would inadvertantly get other forums ticked off at us more often, especially if they are willing to go through all the trouble of registering here and posting funny things for our personal entertainment like TB's crew did.

This one is my personal favorite, it is a lot funnier if you read the whole post though. The a-r-s-e spelling of ass really adds a lot to it; it really drives home the idea of him being a Total cookie type biscuit, rather than a total KFC type biscuit.
Pure gold. That was one of the most disheartening insults I had ever recieved.

Gotta love that dry Brittish humor. If a movie were to be made about this incident I think John Cleese should be cast to voice TB. Just imagine the above line being read by John Cleese... pure poetry!

Though this was not posted by Total Biscuit himself, it ranks #1 as my all time favorite post made in any forum anywhere. Ever. I still remember when I first read this post, had I been drinking anything at that moment I would have blown it out my nose. I didn't even know there were such things as forum wars before that moment. I wonder if ol' TB is still an undefeated forum war champion, or if he has fallen, like all great leader must one day. Hmm, still not sure who would voice PaulG in a dramatic renactment of the orc invasion... it would have to be somebody definitively nerdy...

I think it'd be even better if he was played by Tom Baker. He's got the best voice in the world: Tom Baker interviewed by a guy who can do a perfect impersonation of him.

They seriously ought to start a business where you can pay them to come and invade your forum for a week. It would be great forum revitalization, and as long as they sayed in a single thread and didn't interupt conversation elsewhere, it wouldn't bother anyone who didn't care to participate. Someday I shall build my own army of WoW orcs, and maybe even a squad of OT Ninjas, and whatever else I can come up with, and I will really market this pay-per-forum-invasion stuff... I bet it could really take off, maybe even the biggest thing to hit the interwebs since ebay...

Thanks for posting the link Nanner. As you can see it was last January, not that long ago really. The first couple of pages are really fun to read, but after that it just meanders on about nothing. Considering Hotrod's comment was as pointless as it was, it is really funny what that thing evolved into. I wonder what other communities the orcs have attacked in the past. I like how they kept going on about "all the extra revenue" they were going to get because we mentioned their name. How much revenue would they get due to the few people that were following that thread, I'd be surprised if they got 50 cents out of it. Those guys were a lot of fun. It was even funnier going to their board and reading their postings on the situation, they were seriously making a huge fuss about it and treating it like a major crisis. On our side it was just someone making a passing comment that nobody really even cared about. Seems they have scouts scouring the web for any dishonorable mention of their name.

Well, then I must say I am quite happy Jay does not share your Totalitarian forum governing philosophies. So, are you going to just stick around and punctuate our every conversation by calling us jerks for talking about whatever it is we are talking about? Because that won't get old fast.

I just did a search for those and found a site called ukgoods.com , and I may just have to order some. I don't think anything I've seen on that site is sold over here, (remember, we don't get chocolate hobnobs or anything like that).
I noticed Walker's had some pretty bizarre varieties of crisps, especially compared to over here: Pickled Onion (Monster Munch), Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken, Smoky Bacon, Steak & Onion, and Worcester Sauce.
