No, it is you, prism, who cannot think for himself. You see, you quickly fall in line with the liberal foolishness that you have picked up from reading liberal garbage on the internet. The sad thing is, prism, that liberal ideals have no place in the real world. That is how I know you are nothing more than an infantile fool. You will never amount to anything more than that. Everyone knows this.

I wonder if anyone else is thinking what I am thinking?

"Washington police were investigating on Sunday whether an off-duty officer drew his gun in the midst of a snowball fight involving a couple hundred people."

hmmm, is that against the law?

Quick ask yourself if you think it would be legal for you to pull a gun on a crowd of people and threaten them?

No, it isn't legal.

He wasn't a cop breaking up a crowd. He was a hothead with a cock extension showing a crowd how much of a man he thinks he is.

He is a bad gun owner and a bad police officer; the very type that give both a bad name.

If some black gangbanger pulled a gun on a crowd having a snowball fight every single poster defending the cop in here would have the complete opposite opinion and would be going off about "that culture".

EDIT: oh yeah. Everyone Knows This.

What is there to investigate? He obviously drew his gun, it's there on video and he even says it on video.
 
He didn't point the gun anywhere other than at the ground. He didn't threaten anyone with it. He did not "brandish" it (don't use words if you don't know what they mean). The hipster douchebags should be arrested.

he pulled out a gun to intimidate them, he wasn't cleaning it, or saying "look at my neat gun!" the cop's a fucking doucher who needs to be fired so he can find a job somewhere that won't allow him to pull out a gun any time he feels the need to intimidate people.

How did you reach that conclusion? Is it not possible that he drew his weapon because he was intimidated by the crowd of 50+ people?

He knew how large the crowd was before he got out, so logic would tell me if this dude had a brain he would have called for backup before he got out had he been scared. They didn't force him out of his car, and honestly he could have just kept on driving. But he made a choice to stop, then a choice to get out and, and finally a choice to pull his weapon. The fact he didn't attempt to call for backup first should indicate he wasn't scared. And if he was, he's stupid for getting out. It is possible he got out without thinking "shit this crowd is too big for me to handle!" but if that's the case, my point of him needing to find employment elsewhere is still in order.
 
200 people constitutes quite the mob. I think if it were me, I'd call in back up first. Drawing the gun may have been necessary if he felt threatened though.

what does that have to do with it?

the cop should get in trouble for this. i am glad to see this on CNN and such.

teh was threatening people in the video. They don't need a cop like that around.
 
Flashing a badge and arresting one of the students would have been sufficient.

He should be suspended for pulling his sidearm.

It took them months to finally realize and ban Barry, his last trolling attempt, even though P&N'ers had been claiming it the whole time. In retrospect, I don't think you are the grand douche himself. He was a lot less subtle and would have already burned any name he'd have made back in 2008.

With that said, you are obviously not new to this trolling. It reeks of something familiar that I just can't put my finger on. Seriously... WWYBYWB? I can't quite put my finger on it. It reminds me of Casio sometimes, but that isn't quite it either. Something about you making every post into a PsuedoP&N flame battle for no reason led me to the winnar accusation, but again, it isn't the same style.

Ohh well, you will probably be found out soon. Once the mods are less busy with this whole VB change over and dealing with all the nonsense (I mean one mod account was actually hacked) I am sure they will deal with you. I bet if I lurked on tfnn enough I could probably figure you out though. I am sure you are still posting on there on you old handle.

I am so sick of peoples entitlement. They assault the guy with a snowball then cry foul when the rest of the police show up. And act like they have some right to hit people with snowballs. That stupid bitch asking how to spell his name. What a dumbass.

what a joke. when a crowd of people are creating a dangerous situations (aka by throwing snowballs at moving cars) this demands immediate and decisive action. there is no time to wait for backup.
this guy did what any police officer should have -- he took action with the threat of force if necessary.
 
where I live a snowball is considered a weapon by the police. Holding one with intent to throw it at someone or a vehicle is considered possession of a weapon with intent to harm. Throwing one at a cop or cruiser will get get you arrested. Throwing them at buses or cars will get you arrested, assuming they catch you.

Throw them at walls or trees or other similar targets. Don't be a jackass because you want your friends to think you're cool.
 
I want to punch everyone in that video in the fucking face. Except the cop who came later calmly.

These kind of people disgust me. They know they are obviously doing something wrong and they continue to do it. They pretend they aren't stepping over any boundaries. They did this all to illicit a response, so they can call someone out on it.

Hell I remember in Elementary school we weren't allowed to throw snowballs at other kids...

I learned that lesson when I was 10. I was chucking snowballs at passing cars until one of them stopped. Naturally I ran but he just knocked on the door and had a word with my parents. Grounded for a week.
