black guy driving an H2 (overpriced soccer mom mobile) and holding a gun. he was CLEARLY the one starting the fight.
JUST KIDDING. relax. it's a joke.
I don't believe that the crowd was throwing at vehicles directly. i believe a poorly thrown snowball or one that missed it's intended target maybe have hit his vehicle, to which he responded WAY OUT OF LINE. he could have kept driving. or he could have just pulled over and radio'd for backup (seriously......backup because of a snowball??? didn't we ALL GROW UP WITH SNOWBALL FIGHTS???). or he could have just CALMLY asked what was going on and perhaps informed the event coordinator (if there was one) to check it so as not to hit traffic.
but stopping in traffic and running at the crowd with a gun was EXTREMELY STUPID.
what if somebody would have felt threatened thinking it was another whack job like the fort hood shooting or so many others, and decided to defend/protect the crowd??? would he have been in the right for thinking his life was in danger??? after all there was a crazy man with a gun running at them screaming.
i think that video should be used to show how a very innocent situation could turn horribly wrong. i personally say it's lucky for the officer that somebody didn't take his thread seriously and attempt to defend themselves.
but that's just my opinion.
