When in Boston, Do not have a Snowball FightQuoteBoston University Snowbrawl 2013 Attracts 2,000+ Students & the Boston Police
With classes cancelled due to Nemo, Boston University students got in the wintertime spirit, hosting "Snowbrawl 2013" on the Esplanade Friday night. More than 2,000 students allegedly RSVP'd to attend, clad in colorful snow goggles and apparently not enough layers to avoid screaming, "Ow."
The Boston Police and Boston University Police Departments did show up to the scene. Multiple students were allegedly detained, and the photo below suggests one was tasered for throwing a snowball at a cop:

Okay so watching those videos I see and hear kids laughing and tossing snowballs... I don't see a riot, I don't see destruction... just kids playing in the snow..
And now they want to make a reality TV series on Boston Cops?
What's next? Busting kids for lemonade stands? Oh wait that was last year

So sad the friendly neighborhood cop has been turned into snowball fight "riot" wardens! Insane.
