An infuriated cop shoves a teenage skateboarder to the ground, and it's caught on tape.

Cop: Sit down!
Skateboarder: Dude!
Cop: Sit down! I'm not a dude!

The just-released home video is creating controversy across America.

Cop: Stop calling me 'dude'!

14-year-old Eric Bush and his friends were skateboarding in a Baltimore, Maryland, park last summer when Officer Salvatore Rivieri told them it wasn't allowed.

When the teenager kept calling him "dude", the cop lost it and grabbed his skateboard.

INSIDE EDITION spoke by satellite with the teenager and his mother.

According to Eric, “A lot of people call people dudes…the only bad thing I was doing was skateboarding.”

Skateboarder: Dude, don't take my skateboard, I didn't do anything.
Cop: You call me dude, one more time...

The cop then yelled:

Cop: I'm not 'man', I’m not 'dude.'  I am Officer Rivieri.

Eric’s mother says it should be noted that at no time during the incident did a curse word come out of her 14-year-old son’s mouth.

Since the incident, the officer has been suspended with pay.  A Baltimore police spokesman says, "He could have and should have handled the incident in a more professional manner."
