VIDEO: NYPD Cops Battle Kids In Snowball Fight

BROOKLYN, NY — A group of NYPD cops in Brooklyn had a dangerous assignment during Wednesday's Nor'easter: battling a group of neighborhood kids in a snowball fight.

Video posted by the NYPD on Twitter shows two officers in Brooklyn getting belted by snow by a group of kids during the storm, with one being held to the ground as the children poured snow on him.

The officers spotted some of the children wearing no or less than optimal gloves for a snow battle, so they gave them the proper gear for a rematch.

"Look you at you, you got plastic gloves on," one officer said on the video. "How are you going to play in the snow with plastic gloves?"

The video was met with positive comments from Twitter users who called it "heartwarming" and "awesome."

"This is so heartwarming and a joy to see," Twitter user Phenomenal Dana wrote. "Keep up the great work officers!"
