This Cop Brought a Gun to a Snowball Fight

by Austin Petersen

A police officer responding to reports of a disturbance came upon the scene of a winter snowball fight and pulled his weapon on the kids. “Don’t f*cking move, guys,” he said, as he approached.

From Rawstory: 

As the officer frisks a teen with one hand, while pointing his gun with the other, the young woman filming the encounter on her cell phone explains what led up to the incident.

“They were having a snowball fight,”she explains.”This group of guys was having a snowball fight and now a cop has a gun on them.”

According to LiveLeak, Talk of the Sound — whose server crashed due to traffic over the video — has an additional video showing the cop releasing the teens and sending them on their way.

Talk of the Sound has reported that they were told that the police were responding to call reporting a gun, but were unable to get confirmation from the New Rochelle Police Department.
