Most people grow out of snowball fights somewhere after the age they find out Santa Claus isn't real, but before the age where they realize that women have a thing called boobs. But that didn't stop dozens of DC cool kids from arranging a snowball fight online, and subsequently pelting a police officer with snowballs. A gun was drawn, inevitable pants-wetting happened, and it became a big brouhaha on the internet.
Now, the guy detained speaks out, surprisingly, in a Washington Post column about his respect for the law:
That means respecting the power of the police to break up a snowball fight at a busy intersection (and detain those, like myself, who they have reason to believe are subverting that authority).But, unsurprisingly, he makes it clear that he and his group of peers are better than everyone else:
I suspect that many of the snowballers were, like me, young, well educated and politically active. Demographics suggest that a strong majority of them support new laws on climate change and health care.Yeah well, I suspect that many of the snowballers think they're doing God's work in DC, have never worked an honest day in their lives, voted for Obama, and don't see any problem with humiliating a regular guy just doing his job such as the detective.
See what the others have said:

Respectfully, your notes about the incident are nonsense.
I was on 14th and U that night but missed the event. Read the article in the post this morning and was also a little surprised by position, seemed disjointed and equally odd he would choose such a forum to broadcast support/proponent for climate change laws on the heaviest snowfall in DC in the last 10 years. But it doesn't matter what the weather is like, it ALL proves global warming is going to kill us all, maybe next week.
If the author is going to subtly suggest this was a young democrat event, please openly say so. No need to be ashamed, this city is full of young, idealistic, and many unemployed "field organizers" who are here to change the world one unpaid internship at a time.
ManBearPig will kill us all! And they aren't "unemployed", it's "funemployed". Merry Christmas to you fellas in DC, except for the politicians of course.
I would have shit his little ass if he hit me with a motherfuckin' snowball!
