Current Knowledge of Topic

I have some background knowledge of my topic, and I will gladly provide it. First, I already know that the average skater is made out to be something that is not completely true. Skaters are portrayed as rebellious youth that have no morals or values whatsoever. We are categorized as troublemakers that pay no attention to important laws or ordinances. We are made out to be pesky unintelligent instigators. However, most of us really are not. There are always a few bad apples that can ruin it for the rest, but is that not the same for every crowd? Even some police officers occasionally take their power too seriously and abuse it. They are supposed to be enforcers of the law, correct? On top of that, they are supposed to serve and protect. However, some do the complete opposite of their sworn oath. This helps prove that not everybody in any particular crowd is completely perfect. Most skateboarders are extremely humble people and very much like a family to one another. We only become belligerent in certain situations where we see something that is unjust. I suppose that is why we are considered rebellious. It is because we take a stand when we see something that is not right. In doing so, we then get punished for whatever actions we may perform that are classified as "unjust." Is that not contradictory? Why would we get punished for something someone else does that is unjust? Are you not often told from birth to stand up for what you believe in or what is right? Is this information not passed on to us from our parents or guardians? Think about it. Also, we know that there are laws and public enforcement in some areas that prohibit skateboarding. That is why we generally skate places where no signs are posted prohibiting it, but yet we still get the boot. Why is that? That is for both you and me to figure out.
