Cop Pulls Out Gun at Snowball Fight in DC
Around 2.30PM on Saturday, December 19, during a historic snowstorm, residents at the intersection of 14th and U Streets NW started throwing snowballs at passing Hummers. One of the cars pelted was driven by a plainclothes police officer identified only as Det. Baylor. Baylor got out of his car and brandished his gun at the crowd. Reason.tv's Dan Hayes was on the scene, capturing the tense confrontation between police and citizens who chanted "Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight!" Approximately 5 minutes; harsh language throughout. For a news account of the incident, go to http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/1209/689050.html
