The cop was being an idiot but in all honesty you have to take into account the sitatuion.
There were a bunch of rowdy (ghetto) kids who were acting up and seeing as how it was DC anything could happen.
Cops need to show off thier guns and frighten the kids back in shape sometimes but this would not of been the best time.
I think the “ghetto kids” were from Geo Washington University.
current tuition for 1 year at Geo Washington Univ is $40,000. I have an intern working for me who is attending there and that is what she said her 1st year as a grad student cost.
Did not look or sound like “ghetto kids”. and since when aren’t ghetto kids allowed to have a snow ball fight. Am frustrated that people who are alarmed over ever-expanding intrusive, thieving, oppressive government have no problem with that same government’s armed enforcers.
Those “ghetto kids” were mostly white, bub.
The real question here....is there really a necessity for some police detective to drive around in a Hummer? Or are these guys just play-acting like Miami Vice? Who in the city hall and in the Police leadership signed off on this Hummer requirement? This is where tax revenue is going...and frankly, the Hummer does little except keep GM afloat.
That doesn't look like the ghetto. That looks like somewhere in northeast DC.
