    From what I heard, this “snowball” was more rock than snow.

      From what I heard, this “snowball” was 100% the softest most fluffiest family loving snow.

          Zero mention of rocks, only “snow and ice”

            I guess snow and ice leaves a lasting emotional scar like mustard does. Sandwiches and snowballs scar you for life.

          So yeah, zero mention of rocks.

          And I wouldn’t take the fact that the cops went to the hospital as evidence of anything, that is very by the book whenever NYPD wants to claim assault on an officer.

      If we didn’t see the guy throw a sandwich they would have called it assault with a projectile weapon. Where did you hear there was rock(s) in it?

        The sandwich probably had a few rocks in it. Tiny sodium chloride rocks.

      Is there any real proof, or is this just their word? Because the cops are big babies and shouldn’t be trusted after they got a bunch of bad press. I can easily see them lying after the fact to save face.

        Never trust a cop at their word. Video or fuck outta here.

          can’t wait for a cop to submit AI video as evidence, and depending on the judge, it’ll be accepted as evidence

            NYPD all wear cameras, they can present it as evidence if they want to be taken seriously.

        This is the news story, I’m very sceptical that just snow would do that.

          I read the article. The only thing they stated was a “bruised eye and headache”. Yeah if you get smacked in the eye with a snowball, it could do that. Doesn’t need a rock inside…
