Police are investigating after officers were hit with snowballs while responding to a snowball fight? Well this has got to be the shortest investigation in history surely. The answer is right there in the first sentence!
Furthermore, why on earth are police "responding to a snowball fight"? Who called the police? Why even bother calling OR responding? It's a snowball fight! Have these dickheads never heard of "fun"?
The amount of dumb shit police get called to is astronomical. I've seen police respond to "kids playing loudly outside" you know... A normal things kids do?
This snowball fight probably got called in as "there's 30 people fighting in the park!" Hangup. So of course the police have to go.
I remember getting the cops called on me as a kid for being loud outside & they played a game of 2 on 2 with me & my friend in the street before they left. I think we got louder with the cops there.
The same people who bitch about kids not playing outside anymore call the police on kids playing outside. Or shoot them.
