What the police are legal required to do, and what their company police may be are different things though. Legally required or not, de facto, they are obligated to protect people.
When I went on a ride along with a friend I asked him about the rumor of police cruisers driving around with their search lights being pointed down as being, "off duty." He (correctly) responded, if you are in a marked vehicle, you are never off duty."
"There are no finger prints under water."
This is one of those were everyone should get into trouble. While I think that pulling a gun was uncalled for, and deserves a snowball to the face, that doesn't excuse the thrower from the "assulting an officer" charges. Would that make everyone happy?
also, it shows the thrower on the video, I think at the end they grabbed the wrong guy, but I would have to watch the video again.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Just more proof that the entire country being babyproofed by OSHA is allowing the really stupid ones to live far past when they should have become a statistic.
Of course, I suppose the Darwin Awards wouldn't be as funny if there were THAT many more!

There is a pillow fight at like 15th and Larimer every year, but I don't remember there being problems.
Oops, it's 15th and Larimer. I hope none of you guys show up with your pillow to the wrong block next year. haha
