Quote :
"Millions of D.C.’s hippest Twitterers coordinated a massive cross-street snowball fight at the major intersection of U & 14th streets NW today, to regale in the fruits of God’s most terrifying thundersnowstorm from Hell. A victory for spontaneous social network organizing! Or not? Because at some point during this apocalyptic spectacle, a frustrated undercover cop was trying to navigate his car down the barely plowed U Street, only to reach the masses of unhinged Twitter Snowballers. This didn’t make his drive any easier. And then a few of them pegged his car with snowballs, leading to the worst massacre in human history.

This annoyed the dickens out of him, so he got out of his car, yelled, and briefly took out his gun to scare the little fucks. The crowd soon began chanting “Don’t bring a gun to a snowball fight,” knowing full well that this crisp bit of soft irony would make for the perfect viral tweet, and maybe an amusing Tumblr, which usually leads to a book deal — and even more Tumblrs!

Here’s a video of a uniformed cop mediating the dispute between the undercover gun cop and some terrified Twitterers. It was clearly the most outrageous abuse of police power against the helpless urban poor since… well, whatever probably happened in Anacostia 15 seconds before this. Seventeen, eighteen murders? Unimportant! This angry cop took out his gun next to some snowballers who had just pummeled his car in the middle of the major street, you guys! "

clearly racism is behind this, they wouldn't have cared if he pulled the gun if he wasn't black

Was it wrong for this officer to pull out his weapon, yes. But c'mon folks, cut the police some slack. He's only human and made a mistake. As long as he didn't point his weapon at someone and threaten them then I'm willing to forgive this officer.

exactly, humans go to jail when they pull guns on people who pose no threat

and the fact that he's a cop means he should have known better

I mean if he accidentally discharged his weapon and shot someone we should forgive him. He's human and it was only a mistake.

Clearly the officer was at fault. But if you're so concerned with the law then you could also argue that those who pelted the officer with snowballs could be charge with interferring with a police officer.

It was a bad situation. I'm not apologizing for the officer. Only that I hope cooler heads prevail.

He was off duty. How would they even know he was a cop? I assume he was in his personal vehicle...

Bunch of grown adults pelting random cars with snow balls probably deserve to get their ass kicked though...

^^^Look at how warped your thinking is. "It was a bad situation" -- no, it was a snowball fight. "Interfering with police business" -- what business? Going to the dreadnought shop? His business was so important he had time to stop and harass people in a snowball fight. Never mind that he was undercover so there is no way for anyone to know he was a cop, in the first place. You are grasping at straws.

Any normal person, one who isn't a thug used to abusing his power, knows what to do when they see a snowball fight. People are so used to giving cops power and cops are so used to abusing it that you think this is remotely excusable.

Nothing said he was off-duty. It said he was an undercover officer, aka plain clothes.

And i am pretty sure that you can't legally throw things at passing cars. If that's not the case, then dirt clods are gonna be flying on western today!

He was still wrong to pull the gun.

The people pelting cars with snowballs still deserve an ass-beating, though.

I've been hit by both dirt clods and snowballs. A well-made snowball still fucking hurts and can still do damage to a car. I've done it.

I don't thrown shit at other peoples' cars. It's called respecting their fucking property. If you throw shit at someone's car/house/girlfriend (yeah i just called girlfriends property in a roundabout way), you should get punched in the face.

I would expect nothing less to happen to me should I start throwing shit at the property of others.

If you are going to organize a huge snowball fight, do it in a park or plaza or some shit where you aren't gonna start hitting innocent bystanders.

Not according to that blurb... and my bad, it did say undercover, not off-duty. Same difference in terms of the people knowing whether or not he was a cop.

And yes, they do deserve to be punched in the face... but the undercover cop deserves what he should get, too..

agreed. my assumption that he was at fault was assuming the reports were true. But after reading more about the event it appears as though he may not have pulled out his sidearm at all. Hard to tell because all the eyewitness have conflicting reports.

^^ sonofabitch I was about to post that

But really, "millions"???? What was the biggest DC event in 2009? Not the inauguration, not the gay rights parade or the tea-baggers, but a Twitter snowball fight.

Yay.



And yes, the officer massively overreacted by pulling a gun.

This all could have been prevented if we allowed concealed snowball carry.

it was stupid on all accounts (pulling a gun and hitting a car with snowballs). the cop should be fairly punished and then be let on his merry way. no need to fire the guy.
