NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a massive snowball fight at Washington Square Park in Manhattan.

A video of the fracas shows two uniformed officers pacing a walkway in the park Monday as snowballs fly at them from all directions, hitting the officers and covering them in snow.

The officers, growing visibly frustrated, shoved at least two people to the ground as snowballs continued to whizz by. At one point, a person runs up behind an officer and mushes some snow onto his head. One of the officers can be seen rubbing his eye toward the end of the video.

    Why are NYPD such baby diapers? Can’t they toughen up and not always be such whiny bags of shit?

      The police as a whole seem to be infiltrated with these conflationist retro-intellectuals. This ‘baby-crying’ is an attempt to double down on ignoring their institutions own self inflicted lack of respect. Through constant racism, extrajudicial murders, and rampant abuse of citizens exercising constitutionally protected rights. Cry about it nypd. Maybe in the future quit being fascist pigs? EARN respect, don’t try to demand it.
