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.
