Slow down. The original source for the video also says the cop might have been responding to reports of a person with a gun.

It sure looks like an extreme response to a snowball fight, or even a report of 'someone' with a gun.

Hey, those snowballs kill thousands each year. Black kids with snowballs are extremely dangerous. Pulling that gun was necessary.

I wonder if the cop told them to "freeze"?

The policeman made have been totally wrong or there may have been more to the story. At this point, we don't know.

I did notice this line in the OP's link:

Quote:
The video, made of two shorter clips stitched together, later shows the officer asking the group to stand up, and seemingly lets them go.
I wonder why they didn't provide the whole video? Or filmed the middle and the end, but not the part in between? Those kind of things always make me more suspicious that we aren't getting the whole story.


On the Ferguson case, I initially thought the policeman was wrong, and then it turned out to be much more to the story. So I'll withhold judgment on this incident until there are more facts.

White in your face, that's what!

In a more tolerant society, the snow is black.

pathetic, yet the usual suspects will most likely defend the white cop.
I notice a gang on Blacks walked through the skyway system in St Paul last week attacking only White people again, including an elderly man with a cane (who had his arm broken by the thugs). Obviously Blacks are racists and thugs right? White gangs aren't roaming the streets randomly attacking innocent Blacks across our country. This stuff doesn't happen to Black people. It's endemic among Blacks to believe they can attack Whites based on the color of their skin.

See how easy this racist stereotyping is! Never mind the fact that this police stuff happens to White kids all the time, it's just not a news story and White people don't mount protests marches every time their kid gets stopped for speeding.

How come only two of the teens were ordered to freeze, while the others were just standing around like normal? Was there any reason to suspect anything other than a friendly snowball fight?

If not, this cop was WAY out of line.

A lot of the cop haters scream in outrage over a video which never gives all the information. 90% of the time they end up with egg on their faces.
