Like I’ve always believed, if you give a man a license to carry a weapon, eventually the power goes to his head. That’s the case in Washington D.C., where an impromptu snowball fighting flash mob got a little out of hand when a cop pulled his weapon after being hit by snowballs. Not even him, either; first his car, then he and his car were hit by snowballs, so he got out and pulled his gun. There’s something wrong with some people. Snafu-ed has it both on video and in pictures.
Hopefully, this guy (I believe his name is Detective Baylor?) will get fired. At the very least, they need to take away his gun and never let him have it back, because that’s just insane. If I pulled a gun at a snowball fight, I’d be in jail. Cops should not be above the law, ever. Especially in this case, where some jerk got his panties in a wad that his precious Hummer got hit with a little snow. It’s a freaking SUV; it’s made to go through the worst possible conditions unscathed. A few college kids chucking powder won’t do any damage to it, you baby!
