.... 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.
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.
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.
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.
They went to hospital?!
🤣 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
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
The ONLY way to Stop a Snowball is a Good Guy with a Gun!
-Pigs!
The news is just desperate to not have to report on all the ass Mamdani is kicking.
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.
Pigs are fucking loser cowards
I’m just shocked that nobody got shot.
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.
These people have no business wielding a gun, let alone authority.
See, now people think EVERY member of the NYPD are colossal pussies.
Imagine going through life so on edge that errand snowball fucks up your ~~day~~ ~~week~~ going on a months now!
Pretty fucking weak you guys. NYPD looking even more pathetic than usual...
Only in America
"Respect my authoritehhh"
Should have been yellow snowballs.
NYPD clownshow is going to need a lot of overtime to get to the bottom of this heinous crime.
I recommend rocks next year
frozen dogshit is plentiful too, and would not cause injury to officers if thrown at them.
Okay this is better
I mean, if they're gonna bitch about it anyway ...
Man, they solved ALL the ~~other ~~real crimes in NYC?
"Today it is snowballs, tomorrow it could be a minuteman missile filled with nukepalm"
This guy should be in prison, he's dangerous
ACAB
If it's anything like their crime solving abilities, those kids are just fine.

What a great use of tax payer money.
About time they receive worse no ?
Snowflakes get hit with snowflakes, wind up in hospital.
Could have been worse. They could have thrown sandwiches.
