it was not a group of protestors. It was some young adults who went out to have some fun.
The snowball fighters, mostly in their 20s and 30s, organized the "fight" at 14th and U street as a break from a huge snowstorm that had paralyzed the city this weekend.
The Post says 25-year-old Yousef Ali, a media and technology geek, spent 11 hours using Twitter and other social media to spread the word.
Throwing snowballs was how the Boston Massacre started.
His vehicle is hit by a snowball and he pulls out his gun?! Overreact much? That guy should have his badge pulled asap. Clearly he doesn't have the good judgment needed for his position.
Yeah, some of those cops are trigger happy aren't they.
We had a park ranger shoot a guy in the back here in New Mexioc for not paying his camping fees.
I don't think race-baiting like this has any place in a civilized discussion.
I don't know. All I did was post a picture of the perp in a thread awhile back and I got called a racist. This guy posts a video and gets a pass?
Also, I think it's important that people be aware of who is perpetrating crime in this country whether it's men, women, teens, old people, blacks, whites, hispanics or asians. I think this is an important part of any story. Others disagree but I don't think that makes me a race baiter.

I think they are all humans. Some with mental deficiencies but humans none the less.

Yes, they are. A cop rang the doorbell of a frat house at my daughter's college, and had his gun drawn when the door was answered. I freaked. Thoughts of Kent State went through my head.
come on- why is this going to be about Race now?
I could not care what color the officer was it was dead wrong for him to pull his weapon.
Up until I saw the video posted here I thought the huppla was about the white cop. I saw the video on 4 different stations and not one of them showed the black cop and the Hummer.
This shouldn't have anything to do with his race. I could care less about that.
The fact the guy drives a Hummer shows he has "penus compensation" issues and pulling the gun further enforces that.
The race issue for me is why would the MSM go so far out of their way to mislead people into thinking it was a white cop that pulled his gun for no reason instead of the black cop?. THAT smacks of racism to me.

Well, I've lived in Chicago and traveled through the most intimate places in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. My vehicle has been pummeled by snowballs, bricks and rocks. Just keep driving. do not get out and confront someone. This was this detective's big mistake. he should have just kept driving. The part I don't understand? why the gun draw? I've never heard of anyone being killed or seriously injured by a snowball. Would really have been a story if he'd fired on someone.
Your story? why did the cop that responded to the frat party pull a gun? Did anyone ask the cop why? God knows those college kids are soooo dangerous.

I don't think anyone will ever know why the cop had his gun drawn when the door was answered. He (cop) saw a beer bong in the window and thought it was a marijuana pipe. I never heard of anone getting killed with a marijuana pipe either, unless someone threw it at them, but this bong was sitting on the windowsill, minding its own business. This incident took place in the Chicago area. I flipped b/c at Kent State, it only took one person to start firing and the next thing you knew, four people were dead.

I recall Kent State very vividly. I also recall watching television and waiting for my draft lottery number to be called for vietnam.
