      Now now, those kids haven’t paid their protection money like the dealers and mobsters they “fail” to catch.

    the evidence was in lockup, but someone broke in and replaced the snowballs with water.

    This is deep state stuff.

    … shit like this is why ACAB is a thing.

    You go to an organized snowball fight, you should expect to have snowballs tossed at you. especially if you engage in a way that makes it seem like you’re part of the festivity.

      Right???

      They could have joined in, threw snowballs at some kids, and nobody would complain. They’re snowballs. As long as they’re not grey, brown, or yellow, there’s no issue. You’d think the cops would LOVE this game! It’s the one time where whites only is an accepted rule! (The snowballs, not the people).

      Instead, you have a bunch of cops crying that they had snowballs thrown at them.

      The fuck???

      If these guys are going to be babies about snowballs, I don’t want them protecting the streets! Imagine if there were an actual dangerous situation! What if there were a building with a gunman shooting kids in a school with a gun? Would they just stand back and not engage?

      …god dammit. These police today are pussies!

    Wait… I was thinking it was two cops on patrol who got pelted as their beat took them through the fight.

    There were at least seven, and they inserted themselves directly into the fray. This was premeditated.

    I hope there’s an inquiry into why the department decided to do something reckless that supposedly endangered their officers.

      “When you compress a bunch of snow flakes, into like, a weapon, and you toss it at cops…. That can hurt our pride! And it’s practically lethal force!”

      -that douche.

    NYPD clownshow is going to need a lot of overtime to get to the bottom of this heinous crime.

    Wish they’d have spent a fraction of this much time, money, and energy looking for the person/people who burglarized my neighbor’s home. Would love to see a time when actual serious crimes against working class people are taken more seriously than a snowball fight.
