In the United States (US), police are continuing to raise concerns. It looks as if the US police always want to be in the news for the wrong reasons. From killing unarmed black men, abuse and harassment, the police have now turned their attention to children.
A new disgusting video has emerged online, in which a police officer in New York, is seen holding a number of teenage kids at gunpoint for throwing snowballs at each other. Yes, you are reading right. The children were only having a snowball fight with each other, and that warranted the police officer to point a gun at them as if they were criminals.
In the video, the kids can be seen kneeling helplessly on the ground, very afraid, as the officer continues his unacceptable action. Although not that clear, a second officer seems to be standing with the nearby police patrol car, but did nothing to stop his colleague from abusing the children.
In the video, the police officer can be heard telling the children, with all seriousness, at the top of his voice “Don’t fucking move, guys!” The children, so confused and afraid, can be seen panicking as they feared something bad might happened to them. The officer then frisks them with one hand and aims the gun with the other, like he is ready to pull the trigger.
The video was said to have been secretly recorded by an Anonymous person, who explained that “they were having a snowball fight. This group of guys was having a snowball fight and now a cop has a gun on them”.
Many who have watched the video, have condemned the action of the police and are calling for an independent investigation into the incident. Children rights groups say, even if the officer wanted the children to stop the snowball fight, he should have done that without even thinking of using his gun.
The officer acted so unprofessionally. The gun given to him by the nation is meant to protect citizen, not frighten them. These children were simply partaking in a harmless snowball fight, there was absolutely no cause for the officer to draw his weapon.
We have obtained the video. You can watch it and judge the actions of the police officers yourself. For us, the video is disturbing and further investigation should be conducted by the New York Police Department, to identify and question the officer. It is important to determine his reasons for acting unprofessionally, in order to serve as a deterrent to other officers. He should not get away with it, no matter how long it takes for him to be identified.

I just saw thirty seconds of video, “I am now an expert and know the whole story…”
seriously!!…theres got to be more to this
They’re black, they must be armed with guns and the “snow” must be cocaine stash! It is the perfect hideout! jk, the officer claims the throne of dumbest cop ever.
It’s only 30 seconds of a video… kind of doesn’t prove anything… they might have actually been just having a snow fight but we don’t know that for sure…
However, recently, cops are pulling out their guns for no reasons at all…

This is old news
This video is completely meaningless without more context…
this fuicking apaling what are the kids hiding uzis under there jumpers ffs the police need to get a grip
im getting a headache just trying to read the other comments, wtf? pretty sure im not the only one who cant see shit. this needs to be fixed!
🙁 🙁
Does anyone check the sources of the BS put up on here? That is not what happened and it happened months ago. You are really painting yourselves to be foolish lately and its a shame as I was hoping this “organization” was really out for the truth, not making crap up…
Why didnt he just join in the snowball fight? Goddam, where’s the love gone.
Without the lead up to the cop stopping them the video is meaningless and Anonymous needs to stop posting half a story.
You guys have got to do a better job of acting like real journalists. This writer gives no context, but goes out of his/her way to slander the officers in the video. The reality of this situation is that dispatch received a call stating that a teenager was brandishing a firearm, and once police arrive on the scene a teenager adjusts his waistband and ran. An overreaction maybe, but nothing like what this “writer” described.
90% of the stories here are good, but this one was just plain bad, and you should feel a little embarrassed about it.
