Cops out of control

When there's a large snowstorm pretty much anywhere people often tend to take to the streets and play -- which involves things like throwing snowballs.

In DC the requirement to show deference to police, even when you don't know they're police, takes precedence over any normal sense of human frivolity.

UPDATE:
The idiot law school teacher Althouse thinks the Reason description is inaccurate because they use the term "brandish" when he didn't actually point the gun directly at people.

She doesn't seem to understand that if they'd actually meant "point" then that's what they would have said. She's been teaching law for way too long, the law being a field where words have no actual meaning.
