Mamdani refuses to call mob launching snowballs at cops a ‘criminal’ act, says it just ‘looks like a snowball fight’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday dismissed viral videos of New Yorkers pelting NYPD officers with snow – contending it was just a “snowball fight.”

The frozen fracas in Washington Square Park on Monday had drawn wide outrage from pro-police pols and unions, with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch deeming it “criminal” and saying the department was investigating.

But when Mamdani was asked if he agreed, he effectively waved off the snowy skirmish as childish mischief gone overboard.

---SNIP---

“This was not just a ‘snowball fight.’ This was an assault — by adults throwing chunks of ice and rocks — that landed two police officers in the hospital with head and face injuries,” he said.

Pretty sure if I threw snowballs or anything else at a cop in Texas I’d get my ass beat and arrested, but NYC is a different world.

Maybe he would like to stand out there while he gets pelted with ice chunks.

He has been in office for two months and it is already a train wreck.

Did the police get to throw snowballs back?

How about the "Snow down the back of the neck" move? What is his opinion on that?

If a few cop nail mamdami in the face with snowballs, remember, it’s just good fun. NYPD, the snowball’s in your court.

Some of those ‘snowballs’ may have had rocks inside of them.
Would that still be considered your run of the mill ‘snowball fight’?

Mandummy is becoming more and more obvious every day. Pretty soon, he won’t have anywhere to hide. Then they can throw his sorry derriere into the East River-—in mid-winter.

If I threw a ‘snowball’ at a police officer, I’d expect at minimum, a ‘hickory shampoo’.

A snowball fight involves two sides. The cops need to join in and take all day and have fun. Reports for the day should show they engaged in a snowball fight with locals as approved by the mayor.

The police will always do their job because they’re honorable men who love their city, and want their friends and family to be safe. But this mayor is really going to push these guys, and it will not be pretty. The morale is pretty much destroyed in Chicago and we know what happens there.

If we look at the long view of NY/NYC hopefully the countless people moving out of that 3rd world, muzzie haven will lose a couple electoral seats and the red states will pick them up.

Only problem is that Ayatollah Mamdani ruling NYC will send the blue commies to our area too. Ugh.

Snowballs today. Dead cops tomorrow.

Cops were trashed under De Blasio as well. Then two cops got assassinated.
