Sounds like police overreacted then the students did.

“I wanted to be aware of my rights … It seemed a little strange to me because I didn’t realize you could restrict such things as snowball fights.”

HAHA! Idiot.

Luckily the police were wearing snowball proof vests and nobody’s dog got shot.

I must be getting old, because way back when there would be a snowball’s chance in HELL that a small group of cops would dare to interfere with a huge snowball fight on campus unless there were actual bodies laying there bleeding.

Where oh where have our youths gonads gone...

"...and nobody’s dog got shot."

Had a dog been available it probably would have been a different story.

If it was a “Together We Can” snowball fight, FEMA trailers would be there to serve hot cocoa.

Someone complained. Typical liberal. If a liberal doesn’t want to play he doesn’t want ANYONE to play.

Andy Bernard? From the Office? Yeah. I know. I hate that guy. He’s done more to ruin CU’s rep than a dozen Bill Mahers, Ruth Bader Ginsbergs and Janet Renos.

I wonder what would happen if the arts majors had a fight on the engineering quad.

“Sounds like police overreacted then the students did.”

Those were campus cops. Had the students really “overreacted, the cops would have been found cuffed together, naked in the snow with only their hats on.

Campus cops work along the same lines as professors. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't, enforce campus rules.

I’m underwhelmed.

That individual, Tony, M. Eng. ’11, who declined to give his last name, said police took him and told him to place his hands on the police car.

Must be a really smart kid to be going to Cornell as an 11-year-old. :=)

Point of information: Cornell Police Officers are somewhat unique among campus security staff insofar as they are, in fact, actual police officers (in this case deputy sheriffs).

They said I hit their feet,” Tony said after being released by the officers. “They upset me a lot.”

LOL Poor Baby - I would have done more than hurt your feelings. LOL
