32. Someone called the police. The police had to respond. They couldn't just ignore the call...

At that point, some morons decided to go out of their way to disrespect the NYPD. They're hurling not just snow but insults at the cops simply because they felt a safety in numbers. Some guy comes out of nowhere and starts filming the police officers' every step. Why is any of this necessary? NYPD isn't ICE. As a party, we can make light of the situation. But, in doing so, it makes us look like we don't respect either local police or the job they do.
