What I find most interesting about this story, is that the Washington Post ignored their own reporter who was at the scene and clearly saw the gun in Baylor's hand, and instead printed the official police response that claimed the officer was holding 'just a cellphone.'

Snowball Fight Gun Video: D.C. Cop Draws Gun at Snowball Fight

[S. Gompers]

He certainly is a "brave" public servant isn't he? We had two "peace officers" here shoot a Chihuahua six times in its own yard, because they claimed to be in fear for their lives...

With "brave" Po-Po like that, what will happen if they meet the Taliban, LOL.

[RecoverylessRecovery]

Everyone's focusing on the dipshit with the gun, but what about the VICTIM in this case? How is that Hummer doing and will it ever be able to recuperate after this savage attack? Was its paint scratched? How are the tires feeling?

FUCK YOU DC !

One lesson of these video clips is that one individual should never stand up to a mob when its having a fight, even a SNOWBALL fight.

Tongue in cheek: The plain clothes cop (?) should have slipped a rock into a snowball, thrown it at an innocent bystander and then left the scene, just like most other intelligent, civilized, modern Americans would do. (If they were certain they could get away with it, that is.) But he was stupid enough to try to teach a mob a lesson about civility (bad) : Don't throw things at moving vehicles, even hummers, even snowballs.

At Christmas most of us jolly, fun loving Americans give cold snowballs, with rocks in the middle of them (our hypocritical hearts,) to all those poor, suffering Americans asking for a dime. Maybe we should know better than to give a snowball to a random passerby, especially if he is driving a hummer. He might not be sharing the American middle class dream. He might be depressed and not be at all in the Christmas spirit. Some people get so depressed they go postal or snowball.

Try not to be depressed. Try to find a warm heart. Your own or a friend's. Merry whatever.
