The article at MSNBC quoted a "bystander" as saying the arrival of the bobbies sort of scared him. He thought they came by to object to his sledding in a kayak.

He did say they seemed to be having fun, and that article implied that the chief "reproached" their behaviour but didn't "reprimand" anyone. A frown (for the sake of decorum) rather than a slap on the wrist?
