What a great use of tax payer money.
Man, they solved ALL the ~~other ~~real crimes in NYC?
If it’s anything like their crime solving abilities, those kids are just fine.
Could have been worse. They could have thrown sandwiches.
Snowflakes get hit with snowflakes, wind up in hospital.
Only in America
“Today it is snowballs, tomorrow it could be a minuteman missile filled with nukepalm”
This guy should be in prison, he’s dangerous
Devil’s advocate:
Was it snowballs, or was it ice chunks?
There is a huge difference between the two. The article states snowball, but it’s not impossible it was actually ice chunks, which would constitute assault. Ice is basically a rock.
Again, devil’s advocate here!
There’s video of it. Clearly it’s snowballs.
And any good lawyer will point out that when you are entering area that is clearly understood of the actions happening within (in this case, the snowball fight was publicly announced, this wasn’ta sudden “cops here, lets just start it now”), you are accepting of the assumed risks. In the case of a snowball fight, it is safe to assume that ice can sometimes get inside of a snowball, so they assumed the risk of this happening when they entered the publicly announced snowball fight.
Now, if there were rocks or other non-snow related objects, then you could make the argument you are trying here, but its not what happened.
Oh yes absolutely, the cops are still morons regardless.
There is a difference between an icy snowball and a chunk of ice, though IANAL.
But everything states that it was snowballs that were thrown, not chunks of ice. Even the Sargent has said it was snowballs.
See, now people think EVERY member of the NYPD are colossal pussies.
the evidence was in lockup, but someone broke in and replaced the snowballs with water.
This is deep state stuff.
It was an inside job
NYPD clownshow is going to need a lot of overtime to get to the bottom of this heinous crime.
These people have no business wielding a gun, let alone authority.
Wish they’d have spent a fraction of this much time, money, and energy looking for the person/people who burglarized my neighbor’s home. Would love to see a time when actual serious crimes against working class people are taken more seriously than a snowball fight.
People should be laughing at them. The reporters should be laughing at them, the lawyers should be laughing at them, the judge should laugh at them. They are such a joke.
The news is just desperate to not have to report on all the ass Mamdani is kicking.
