The cops kicked them out but they didn't want to? What.
It's their job to kick them out, even if they don't want to

They brought 26 little kids to a skatepark?.....why in gods name would you even do that in the first place? But i agree with the overall message.
I got kicked out of a skatepark when i was literally the only one in there because of this stupid law. I told the cop i was gonna go fuck up the local high school and all he said was don't let me catch you! Pigs are annoying AF

only 9 signatures? well 8 besides me. c'mon guys....
Why not?
I took 12 kids down to Lakewood then over to Haughten Skate park in Long Beach. They got to ride a different park than our Local, met other riders and had a pretty decent day I would say.
As far as the "pigs"
"One officer said that he would greatly appreciate it if we could help get the law amended to allow scooters into skate parks. He said he and his fellow officers were tired of kicking out kids from a safe environment and into the streets."
Telling the Cops that you are just going to go mess up the High School was rather childish: what did you accomplish?

Only reason there was that many people is because we had a ride day planned at that skatepark and the cops came and kicked everyone out.
I understand where you're coming from: Scooters do allow for a much younger rider to ride in a skate park messing with the Flow of a Skate park.
Unfortunately some kids are just better at it than others at a younger age. My son is by no means a super skilled rider on the edge of a sponsorship but he is a superb rider for his age- he should be I take him there all the friggin' time :0
Anyhoo... I wouldn't want his access restricted because of a "Limit" imposed on him/us just because he rides a Scooter.
If there was an Age requirement I guess I would be more accepting of a restriction as it would apply to everyone- even Skateboard kids. But as it stands right now there are NO restrictions for Skateboard riders.
If I lived in San Clemente I would be one furious Father and be one hell of a pest to City Council. I count my blessings since I'm only a couple miles from a decent park in Culver City for daily sessions, Belvedere in East LA is relatively close, Long Beach isn't too bad and once it gets below 95˚ in Santa Clarita we can ride out there again- although that is 80 mile round trip session ... $$ in my gas hog truck.
Culver City has a park monitor who enforces helmets and what I really like about that is they enforce it on anyone who goes in the park- even parents who like to helicopter around their little 5-6 yr old who is snaking everyone's line, adding to the stereotypes of scooter kids ruining the Skate parks.

Bringing a large group like that of anybody is just a bad idea. It over crowds the skatepark like crazy. I mean when i show up to a skate park with only a couple other people i notice we take up a lot of space, but almost 30? It really is ridiculous, if a large group of skaters showed up to any of the skate parks around my area it would be impossible to ride.
I was referring to the cop that kicked me out of an empty skate park, not any that you dealt with. And i told him i was going to mess up the high school because he was kicking me out of a safe environment for riding and into the streets. I didn't mean i was going to go trash it or anything but when you ride street, you tend to mess stuff up.

^^^ some cops came to our local school where we were riding and told us to leave, so I asked where we should go and she replied go home. So the next day me and a few others (who had a picture of me talkig to her) put up posters with the picture across town with the caption "we need a skatepark."

I still dont understand why the police even respond to calls of kids with scooters in the skatepark I'm prety sure theres more important thing to be doing then responding to call at the skatepark about scooters. This still makes no sense to me.

because most cops have nothing better to do other than like curfew other than that almost nothing they do is needed

So next time you have people jump you, don't call them or me. Because apparently nothing they do is needed, and I sure won't save you. Spiderman doesn't save people like you.

I ordered a Razor scooter at the beginning of the school year last Fall. I knew skateboards weren't allowed on campus
