“Ma’am, I have phoned you twice, you couldn’t help me,” said the man recording the video to a police officer who is not visible in the dark station as the lights are turned off.
The man continued: “Is that how you treat the public after you’ve given down an oath that you will protect the public. Now you can just stand… and rub your eyes but you are taking our money for your salary.”
“I got into my car and drove here to tell you that they are raping a lady on the corner of 7th Avenue and 7th Street and you refuse to speak to me.” he added.
As the video continued, the member of the community threatened to call a more senior police officer if the members on duty did not respond to his request.

“You are four sitting here. Four people sleeping in front of a heater while your sister is being rap£d here on the corner,” he said.
