Video footage of New York City Police Department officers getting pelted with snow as they walked through Washington Square Park on Monday drew mixed responses from the city’s leaders. NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch condemned the footage of “individuals attacking cops,” saying her detectives are investigating the “criminal” behavior. The city’s new progressive mayor, Zohran Mamdani (D), urged the public to treat officers with respect but characterized the footage as “kids throwing snowballs.”
