“Today it is snowballs, tomorrow it could be a minuteman missile filled with nukepalm”
This guy should be in prison, he’s dangerous
Devil’s advocate:
Was it snowballs, or was it ice chunks?
There is a huge difference between the two. The article states snowball, but it’s not impossible it was actually ice chunks, which would constitute assault. Ice is basically a rock.
Again, devil’s advocate here!
And any good lawyer will point out that when you are entering area that is clearly understood of the actions happening within (in this case, the snowball fight was publicly announced, this wasn’ta sudden “cops here, lets just start it now”), you are accepting of the assumed risks. In the case of a snowball fight, it is safe to assume that ice can sometimes get inside of a snowball, so they assumed the risk of this happening when they entered the publicly announced snowball fight.
Now, if there were rocks or other non-snow related objects, then you could make the argument you are trying here, but its not what happened.
Oh yes absolutely, the cops are still morons regardless.
There is a difference between an icy snowball and a chunk of ice, though IANAL.
See, now people think EVERY member of the NYPD are colossal pussies.
the evidence was in lockup, but someone broke in and replaced the snowballs with water.
This is deep state stuff.
It was an inside job
NYPD clownshow is going to need a lot of overtime to get to the bottom of this heinous crime.
These people have no business wielding a gun, let alone authority.
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.
People should be laughing at them. The reporters should be laughing at them, the lawyers should be laughing at them, the judge should laugh at them. They are such a joke.
The news is just desperate to not have to report on all the ass Mamdani is kicking.
They went to hospital?!
… 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!
And they’d get extra copaganda out of it! Look, we’re just fun loving guys playing with kids!
Just a quick question…
what’s with all the hate for lemon-flavored snow cones?!
Picture this, you pock up some yellow snow anticipating a delicious savoury and fulfilling mouthfull of piss and instead you get fucking lemon.
GET MAD!
This is actuually the reason why lemon ices are not colored.
You had me in the first half, you precious funny human!
They mistakingly thought cops were humans, whoops.
Bastards are still human.
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.
Fun fact, Americas revolution kicked off with a snowball fight.
What a bunch of snowflakes.
“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.
