There was a record snow fall in the nation's capital on this December day. Hundreds of people gathered on the historic U Street and 14th Street intersection to have a snowball fight. A plain clothes police officer pulled up in an unmarked vehicle and when his SUV was dusted by snowballs, he got out of the vehicle, drew his gun, and threateningly waved it around to the crowd. In this photo, that cop, Detective Michael Baylor, is shown holding the gun in his left hand while speaking into a radio held in his right hand.
