There was a snowball fight in Washington DC over the weekend. Apparently a plainclothes policeman’s vehicle was hit. I saw a video of it - it looked like he got out of his vehicle and drew his weapon. This is what I saw, I swear - I am not making this up. I heard a guy say (with incredulity in his voice), “He’s got a gun.” Then someone said, “You don’t bring a gun to a snowball fight.” Then people picked it up as a short-lived chant. ????
I saw a comment by a Canadian – “Only in America.”
I wanted to write a blog on this subject. …. ??
Silence. It has actually happened. I have been stunned into silence. I can’t think of anything else to say, besides O.M.G., WTF, or “Are you serious!?
If I hadn’t seen the raw video, I would have thought it was some kind of stunt, or even something dreamed up for a bad movie. If it was in a movie, the critics would have trashed the scene for being too unbelievable. Well, I guess it is unbelievable.

Thought you might like to know that the "gentleman" in question was reprimanded, to include relief from duty upon further investigation. America does have a conscience after all! Yes, I'm just full of good tidings this time of year! Yaay for America having an actual good response to a glaring faux pas!
