The head of the Sergeants Benevolent Association is demanding accountability after NYPD officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a 911 call in Washington Square Park — warning that what some may dismiss as winter “antics” could escalate into something far more dangerous...

Guess the infamous NYPD couldn't handle a bunch of big-cool snowflakes.

Vallelong emphasized that officers routinely show “extraordinary restraint” even in hostile situations and warned that normalizing such behavior sends the wrong message.

Imagine wanting to kill a crowd of people because they threw some snowballs at class traitors.

Today it's antics, tomorrow it's hijinks, and before you know it, the whole city is descending into an unmitigated epidemic of tomfoolery.

Today it's snowballs. Tomorrow it might be "kick me" notes and tied together shoelaces.

“No worker in this city should be subjected to having objects thrown at them while they do their job — least of all the men and women who run toward danger to protect others,” he wrote.

$5 says this guy wouldn't give two shits if it was a sanitation worker.

“We cannot condemn strongly enough the recent disgraceful and dangerous attacks on NYPD Police Officers,” Vallelong wrote to fellow sergeants. “This Constitutes an Assault” According to Vallelong, individuals in the park — many believed to be NYU students — deliberately targeted officers by throwing snowballs as they worked in a crowded public space. “While some people may attempt to dismiss this incident as college hijinks or harmless kids throwing snowballs, the deliberate targeting of uniformed Police Officers by hurling objects at them while they perform their lawful duties constitutes an assault,” he stated.

What a bunch of crybabies. They should go home to their mommies instead of being on the streets with weapons.

i thought they were supposed to hire and train grownups to be cops, not shitty little crying piss babies.

like maybe stop being a gang of unprofessional, sadistic and wildly overcompensated thugs if you don't want literally everybody to hate the sight of you enough to lob some snow at you.
