“The Only One Who Deserves a Snowball Is Me” Mayor Mamdani Addresses Snowball Incident With NYPD Officers

“The only one who deserves a snowball is me.” After videos surfaced of kids throwing snowballs at NYPD officers in Washington Square Park, Mayor Mamdani finally weighed in. He did thank officers for being “on the front line” of the city’s blizzard response… …but then he joked that the only person in the city workforce who should get hit with a snowball is him, not the cops. When a reporter brought up the Police Benevolent Association—saying those involved should face assault on a police officer charges if they can be identified—the mayor pushed back. From the videos he’s seen, he said, it just “looks like a snowball fight.”
