4 Teens Facing 1 Year In Jail For Throwing Snowballs

There are two completely different sides to this story, so I will tell you them both in turn.


The first. Four friends from the Bronx, 3 of which are pictured, were playing about in the snow. They were throwing snowballs about, as children do, and then one accidentally hit a person on the leg in the distance.

Now rather than taking this lightly, the man flipped out, pulled out his gun and threatened the kids, calling for police backup and then arresting them.

The second side. An off duty police man is walking along the street, when numerous snow balls hit him in his back. He then continues walking on but is then called names such as a 'bitch'. He then calming calls for backup, and declares himself to be an off duty police man. Once backup has arrived the 4 children are then arrested.

However, whichever story you believe, the police are attempting the prosecute the kids with up to 1 year in jail, and the kids are lodging a potential $10million law suit against the NYPD.

Lovely.

Once a person gets a badge they also get an attitude. It happens every time.

I never met a cop I trusted, and I never met a cop I couldn't hate.
