I agree that he probably didn't need to pull his gun,

Didn't NEED to pull his gun? Are you serious? Gun vs. Snowball. He's off duty, has no badge, no markers suggesting he is a cop.
At what point do you propose someone should pull a gun in response to a snowball?
Question: Where was he "assaulted repeatedly"
Answer: You can't see it in the video but it would appear his Hummer was hit with snowballs.
Do you really think it is rational to threaten a crowd with a gun in response?
The people who are paid to protect us, and who carry lethal weapons, should have at least average judgment. Policing requires split-second decision making in tough situations.
This officer demonstrated he'll threaten with his gun for nothing.
He needs a desk job.
