Cop Admits to Pulling Gun on Snowballers (Rogue Cops) Cop says on video he pulled a gun because he was hit with a snowball By TERESA MASTERSON A plainclothes police detective allegedly pulled his gun out and waved it at a large group of people in a snowball fight at the corner of 14th and U Saturday afternoon. The incident began when a plain-clothes detective approached the crowd of people throwing snowballs and got into a verbal altercation with members of the crowd, according to police. A uniformed officer responded to the scene after getting calls about a man with a gun. The uniformed officer pulled out his weapon as he approached the plain-clothes detective. As soon as the detective identified himself the uniformed officer put his gun back in the holster, police said. In a video posted to YouTube, the police officer identifies himself as “Detective Baylor” and in response to someone saying that he pulled a gun on a snowball fight he says: “Yes I did because I got hit with snowballs.” According to 3D Commander George Kusik the uniformed officer conducted himself appropriately. The incident between the detective and the snowball-throwing crowd is under investigation. According to an eyewitness, a D.C. Police detective went nuts after kids pelted his Hummer with snowballs at 14th and U streets NW this afternoon. The cop got out of his car and started waving his gun around. He did not immediately identify himself as a police officer. He calmed down once his fellow police arrived. Apparently, someone called 911 to report a man with gun. The snowball fight had been well hyped on Twitter. The news of the incident first broke there. We caught up with an eyewitness moments ago. Photos and video to come. Via Twitter: "Detective Baylor(sp?) hummer get hits by snowballs and he waves a gun around. Cops on radio say Det is being 'blackmailed'" And later: Chant from 14 & U snowball fight: "You don't bring a gun to a snowball fight." Banner: "No war but snowball war." Prince of Petworth reports similar cop scene: "A reader writes in about the snowball fight at 14th and U. Word on the street is that apparently it started in good fun but then someone hit a Hummer driving by belonging to a police officer and then the reader says multiple patrol cars responded." D.C. Police Officer at the 3rd District does confirm to City Desk that the police did respond to 14th and U, refused further comment. Eyewitness Matthew Bradley tells City Desk: "An hour ago, we showed up to see a snowball fight already in progress. Two factions along 14th Street along the intersection. It was pretty friendly, mostly OK. At one point, there was one interaction with the police that I saw. A cop got stuck in the snow. People stopped and helped him out. A couple moments later, at the intersection, heading west along U was this big maroon Hummer. A small faction of people decided to target it with snowballs. They're throwing snowballs at the Hummer. It turns out the driver of the Hummer is a detective. He gets out. He's waving a walkie talkie. It's not going well. Then he starts waving a gun. He hadn't identified himself at this point. There was a point where things cooled off a bit, more police showed up, and he identified himself at that point. The name was Det. Baylor. My guess was B-A-Y-L-O-R." "There was a point where it got really tense. The experience for many people was snowball fight kind of fun...and then there's a guy with a gun." Bradley says he heard that the police were responding to a 911 call for a man with a gun. The detective calmed down once his fellow cops arrived. Bradley says that he thinks the cop was a detective but is not 100 percent sure. An officer tells me that 2D cops responded and that 3D cops assisted on the incident. An official at 2D says that officers did respond to an incident involving snowballs being thrown at a passing vehicle at 14th and U. He stated that he had not heard about an officer waving his gun around.

RI Officer Charged With Assaulting Cuffed Woman The Associated Press Saturday, Dec. 19, 2009 A Rhode Island police officer has been charged with kicking a handcuffed woman in the head after removing her from a slot parlor for disorderly conduct. An indictment handed up Friday charges Lincoln police officer Edward Krawetz (KROW'-ihtz) with assault with a dangerous weapon. Krawetz has been suspended without pay. Rhode Island State Police spokesman David Neill tells The Associated Press that a videotape shows Krawetz kicking the handcuffed woman as the two waited outside the Twin River gambling parlor, just north of Providence, for a patrol car to arrive. A telephone listing for Krawetz could not immediately be found, and it was not immediately known if he has an attorney. He is the second Rhode Island officer charged in an alleged beating in the past two weeks.
