Wow, it was dumb, he should not have taken the gun out of his holster in the first place, however I didn't quite see him pointing it at anyone (there are some other videos posted on youtube of it). I would like to know what moron through a snow ball at the police officer AFTER he had pulled his gun. It's bad enough he got PO'd at being snowballed (lol, did I just say that?) in his big old Hummer and got out and pulled his gun, but once it's out, you don't know if he is a cop or not and it doesn't matter, you don't pelt a guy with anything that has a gun unless you are trying to get him to drop the gun.
The cop was quite dumb though, an overreaction indeed, and he needs to be disciplined but perhaps not all that much. Some anger management classes that will teach how to take it and shut the hell up would suffice, and perhaps plenty of desk duty and paper work will cool him down.
Someone should have made hima friggin snow cone, or given him a hug for crying out loud....
