What the fuck guys? Are there really people who are defending the police officer?
He decides to drive through the middle of a fucking [B]organized snowball fight.[/B] And guess what happens when he drives through the middle of the snowball fight? [B]His car gets hit with a fucking snowball.[/B] Nobody saw that one coming.

It's not one's duty to know where and when snowball fights occur. Twitter or facebook doesn't make things "official". Calling it "organized" snowball fights doesn't make it more legitimate to hurl balls at non-participants who happens to require crossing the street. There is no universal sanctioning for snowball wars. This is just like when the chavs at my area gang up at the pedestrian tunnel below the highway near my place and claim to have the right to pepper everyone passing by with snowballs to the point where it borders assault/battery.
Drawing a gun is always worse than throwing a snowball, but from the policeman's point of view, the situation probably appeared to be a mob engaging him with snowballs for no apparent reason (he probably had a shitty day too, it makes you feel excessively exposed). Not to mention that the road might have had both sand and salt strewn on top of it, making any snowballs harmful to the car (hard to tell from inside the car, but if you had an expensive car as a Hummer you'd know how that feels then).
I'm not defending the police officer, I'm saying it's a dick move to involve the unwilling in fights. Sadly, most snowballs wars are sadistic, not fun.
I have a god damn right not to have things thrown at me.
What a dick.
What a Scrooge, i would have joined in.
I remember some guy was driving along and had his car pelted by snowballs so the guy gets out of his car, grabs me by the collar and tells me to tell him who threw the snowballs or he was going to beat the shit out of me.
I just responded by telling him to either beat the shit out of me or put me down because I was in a hurry.
I misread and thought the detective said "Don't bring a snowball to a gunfight."
badass
No fair, that snowball had a bullet in it
What an ass
Probably one of the hyper macho 50 year olds who flip a shit if their car gets so much as looked at

Why is there no counterpart to the box?
We need a "sensible" or "intelligent" rating.
i think all the people who threw snowballs at non participants should be given a warning the drawing a gun move was totally overreacting he should have just honked his horn tell them he was police and then they would stop if they didnt they deserve to be arrested
Oh man, I remember this...
Cop needed a [i]chill[/i] pill
He was in a grenade proof car and he starts PMS'ing about snowballs. Mhm..
To below; feel free to derail the topic if it isn't to your liking.
ITT: People debate if someone was justified brandishing a firearm after having snowballs thrown at them.
Fuck tha police.
He was just trolling.
We threw snowballs at a taxi and the driver got out with a golf club.
Fun times.
AHAHAHAHAHA JUST [B]HOW[/B] HIGH DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO [B]BE[/B] JUST TO [B]DO[/B] SOMETHiNG LIKE THAT........

He'd need a 25 killstreak silly
[quote]"Yes I did because I got hit by snowballs," he tells angry residents who demand to know his badge [/quote]
No he didn't, his car did. That doesn't warrent his gun to come out of his holster. Maybe if the crowd of people were all hitting him in the face with snowballs or something, I could see getting pissed off and threatening to arrest them.
I like how people blame every police officer for this when the police came to stop the loony.
I just wish there were more reports on the police doing good work. Every time we have these topics there's several people saying "fuck tha police".
On topic, looks like the man lost his cool, no pun intended. I hope he receives proper punishment for scaring the fuck out of some guys trying to have a little fun during the weather.
People saying that he didn't get hit directly by snowballs, or people saying he didn't take out his gun, watch the original video: [url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d8a_1261315809[/url]
15 seconds: You can clearly see the gun
43 seconds: Hit (close to face?) by snowball
The people were being assholes yes, but you still don't need to take a gun out over a snowball.
fuck da police
cop fails
[QUOTE=Muscar;19101666]US police = retarded.
The police in most european countries are good, and you rarely see them either.[/QUOTE]
It's like you really have a useless police force.
What a pimp
