Cop pulls gun during snowball fight!!!

[Hector]

The cop was out of line by taking out his gun...no ifs or buts about it.

Come on...snowballs, people.

I hear he was off duty too.

The gun-ho machismo got the better of him...but you can see towards the end of the footage...that he has some regrets on his face....and the other cops are kinda subdued.

I can see why the crowd was mad...but having said that...the dude who keeps shouting, "f you pig!"...is out of line too.

No doubt the cop was out of line, but that crowd did NOTHING to help the matter, they kept taunting him and even attacked him. Yes, a snowball can be seen as an attack. Those things can be hard as rocks.
Here we have a cop who pulls a gun at a snowball fight and what to these morons do? They antagonize him some more and throw snowballs at him. Good thing he didn't have his gun in his hand anymore or he probably would've pulled the trigger.
Again, I'm not defending this cop's actions, but that crowd deserved everything it got and more

I got nailed by a snow ball once ... it hurt ... so I made a snow ball myself and threw it back ... shoot the cop should have got in a few snow balls ... would have looked as if he was playing back with the crowed ... but now he looks like a giant party pooper who pulls his gun.

I must say a few months ago and an issue that came up with my brother in law, caused me to lose a lot of respect for at least the local police. So I say oh well, the cop got some snow on him ... and pulled his gun ... I hope he gets early retirement, before he shoots some kid for pointing his finger at him and says stick them up.
