In my youth ( 50’s), pelting the local cops with snowballs was a right of passage, a way of counting coup as it were. Never even had a cop get mad about it ... often they tossed them back at us. Times have changed.

I would want to hear more about what actually happened..sometimes I remember that snowballs were made with small pieces of rocks in them or ice that could inure a person if it hit them in the eye..and the cop was in a cruiser..this may not have been a harmless little snowbal fight.
Just saying..there are usually two sides to a story, soemtimes three.

“Times have changed.”

Yes, they have. It’s not the ‘50s any more. Back then I’m sure it was understood as ‘all in good fun.’ Today not so much. Not so much at all from either end.

You betcha. Beware, the beast rises.

Just birth pains. Upside downside up, wrong is right. It's the time of the great apostasy and the great rebellion, the two signs Paul spoke of.
