A New York community is up in arms after video footage surfaced of a New Rochelle, N.Y., police officer holding several teens at gunpoint after responding to a 911 call about a disturbance that turned out to be a snowball fight, according to Raw Story, citing a report at Talk of the Sound.

In the video, the officer can be seen pointing his weapon at the kneeling teens earlier this week, telling them β€œDon’t f*cking move, guys,” as he approaches them while speaking into radio, the report notes.
