Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Editing 2009 DC Snowball Fight Gun Controversy
News stories report that an off-duty cop got mad because a snowball hit his Humvee (personal car or department??) and he exited the vehicle with a pistol in his hand, aimed downward. In the Boston Massacre, Americans threw snowballs at British troops, who shot and killed 5 of the snowball throwers, helping to spark the American Revolution. In this case, good judgment prevailed,  no shots were fired, and the incident petered out.  Delete per , due to a lack of enduring notability. Cops carry guns, and in a potential riot situation, unholstering it seems like a reasonable response, if not the very best one
