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.

So it is fine when they throw snowballs at each other but when they throw snowballs at the police then it suddenly becomes dangerous. These are definitely not the country's finest if they are scared of a snowball, especially if they know their actions make people want to pelt them with rocks.

.... 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.

Can’t wait to see these cases bounced by the grand jury the same way as the one against the guy who threw a sub at an ICE agent.

Should have been yellow snowballs.
