Hey guess what the comment section is like! You'll never guess!

^ As OH says, credit to the cops who endured this prank and didn't let it escalate.

It 's easy to laugh at the media's excess outrage over this incident, but I wouldn't recommend laughing too much: isn't there a worrying lack of gratitude going on? Those poor police guys got quite an aggressive dowsing, then one day later the police are coming to the rescue as life-or-death heroes:

Garlic Shooting: lone gunman kills three people, including a six-year-old. Within one minute, police have killed gunman.

If you want to have police around, as the garlic festival crowds presumably did, shouldn't you allow them to be around unharrassed, as the water-throwers didn't ?

Not gonna lie. If I need help I’m hitting 911. When you need the police you ain’t never been so damn glad to see someone roll up. If we don’t want to be policed we need to act right so we don’t need to be policed.

They're lucky they didn't get charged with assaulting an officer, obstruction of Justice, disorderly conduct, etc. The cops could've easily been dicks about it.

I think we're all missing the big picture here: **** a cop.

Three of them are up on charges from the footage.

**** the people who make cops necessary. #anarchofascism

oh, i didn't watch the whole video

Wamp wamp wamp

there will always be thieves and cut throats in this world. That's why the cops will always be necessary. #anarchyisgay

and there’s the rub #anarchofascism
