As stated repeatedly--under the color of law, the snowball fight ceased being a friendly get together and became an illegal political demonstration when they singled out specific cars(e.g. the "gas guzzlers").

If the cop hadn't pulled his gun out, either way, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Well, unless the police had told the snowballers to disperse for an illegal protest, in which case we'd have the same people in here calling for the police officers who told the crowd to disperse to be fired for being killjoys.

It was, by definition, an illegal demonstration (or became one).

Protesting against something is illegal unless you have necessary permits.

That and pelting cars and innocent bystanders with snowballs is also not legal, in fact it's assault.

Several laws and ordinances broken but funnily enough the video only showed the "bad cop".

Thread locked for becoming tiresome.
