What a great use of tax payer money.
Only in America
If it's anything like their crime solving abilities, those kids are just fine.
Now now, those kids haven't paid their protection money like the dealers and mobsters they "fail" to catch.
"Today it is snowballs, tomorrow it could be a minuteman missile filled with nukepalm"
This guy should be in prison, he's dangerous
Snowflakes get hit with snowflakes, wind up in hospital.
Could have been worse. They could have thrown sandwiches.
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.
.... 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!

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.
They went to hospital?!
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.
The news is just desperate to not have to report on all the ass Mamdani is kicking.
🤣 When I first saw this story headline (not this post) I thought the cops had snowballs thrown at them, not that they went to a snowball fight and got snowballs thrown at them 🤣
Fucking pussy ass pigs
Man, police need a spine.
"AAGHGHHH! SNOW!! STUFF THAT EASILY MELTS INTO WATER AND GETS A STAIN ON MUH UNIFORM! AAAAGGGHGLG!!"
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.
"Respect my authoritehhh"
I recommend rocks next year
I mean, if they're gonna bitch about it anyway ...
frozen dogshit is plentiful too, and would not cause injury to officers if thrown at them.
Okay this is better
I’m just shocked that nobody got shot.
The ONLY way to Stop a Snowball is a Good Guy with a Gun!
-Pigs!
Pigs are fucking loser cowards
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.
Turns out you can’t actually indict a ham sandwich.
Imagine going through life so on edge that errand snowball fucks up your ~~day~~ ~~week~~ going on a months now!
