Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight
Unless you're a cop, then it's okay because you might be frightened by "anarchists" who are throwing snowballs.

Those kids were throwing snowballs at car windows at a busy intersection. They should be glad they weren't arrested, the punks.
"No, Officer Pryzbylewski, he did not piss you off. He made you fear for your safety and that of your fellow officers. I’m guessin’ now, but maybe he was seen to pick up a bottle and menace Officers Hauk and Carver, both of whom had already sustained injury from flying projectiles. Rather than use deadly force in such a situation, maybe you elected to approach the youth, ordering him to drop the bottle. Maybe when he raised the bottle in a threatening manner you used a Kel light, not the handle of your service weapon, to incapacitate the suspect. Go practice."
Pretty much whenever I hear a cop say they felt "fear" and that it was necessary to threaten to use deadly force, that's what I think they're saying. "Go practice."
