An erratic woman was filmed having an epic meltdown at a Los Angeles police station and launching into a racist tirade at a man in the lobby.
The video, apparently captured at the Hollywood police station on August 6 at 12:01 a.m., shows the unidentified woman shouting at the black man who was filming her after she demanded that officers shoot the homeless people.
He began to insult the woman, saying she was “apple-shaped, had skinny legs” and looked like a “lazy” person.
The woman can then be seen yelling at him to “go back to the jungle” and “go back to Africa” before being escorted out of the police station.
An unidentified woman was caught on camera having a breakdown at the Hollywood Police Station in the early morning hours of August 6.
The footage begins with the woman standing at a counter at a Hollywood police station, complaining to officers sitting behind a glass partition about the city’s homeless problem.
“You can’t go out on the streets and stop these people,” he shouts.
When the officer tries to respond, she interrupts him and says, “No, because you know what, because you’re too afraid to confront them. That’s your problem.”
“You can’t take these people on and get them off the street,” he continues, before asking the officer: “What’s your gun for?”
“You don’t know how to use your gun, sir,” he accuses the officer. “That’s why they have you sitting here doing calculations.”
The woman was filmed yelling at officers and suggesting they should shoot homeless people.
The woman goes on to argue that officers should go after “the drug addicts and the homeless black people that wander around here.”
“They are destroying cars and you are allowing these people to stay here,” he accused the police, arguing that “it is the city’s responsibility” because “they are loitering.”
At that moment, the black man in line interrupted him.
“He wants to shoot homeless people,” he said in disbelief.
But the woman said to him, “Sir, it is none of your business.”
“It’s my business, you idiot,” she retorts. “Shut your mouth!”
Still, the woman tells him, “It’s none of your business.”
“Well, you’re here speaking in public, so I’ll speak,” the man said, before insulting her.
‘Your love handles are spilling out the sides.’
“That’s why you look like a… bum. Look at you. You literally look like a bum.
‘Calm down, young lady. You look disgusting. You’re miserable.’
“No wonder you’re miserable, look at you. You’re shaped like an apple and have skinny little legs,” the man continues.
“You look like… You know what? Look at you, you’re broke. You’re broke. Your life sucks.”
When a black man intervened, the woman launched into a racist tirade, repeatedly telling him to “go back to the jungle” and “go back to Africa.”
At that point, the woman began making racist comments.
“Go back to the jungle!” he told the man. “Go back to the jungle.”
Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa! Go back to the jungle!
Officers behind the counter could be heard telling the woman to “stop,” but she quickly pointed at the man and replied, “He started it.”
Still, the man continued to tell her “your life sucks,” prompting the woman to once again tell him to “go back to your fucking jungle.”
“Look at you, you’re the jungle lady, in your little $5 outfit,” he replies, telling her she should go back to the jungle.
“No, I’m an American. Nobody brought me here,” he says.
The man then continues to insult the woman: “You look disgusting.”
“What a shame! It’s a real disgrace. Look at you, you’re disgusting. You look dirty. You’re the one who started all this, ma’am,” he shouts as an officer escorts her out.
She was escorted out of the station by police and was not charged with any crime.
Many on Reddit praised the man for standing up to her, with one saying “the world could benefit from a few more people like him calling people out on their bullshit.”
Another mocked the woman as a “disgusting human being” and said he was “glad” the man “spoke to her like that, she deserved it.”
But a third suggested the woman could be suffering from “mental illness and/or liver problems” and is “probably drunk” but is “definitely belligerent and rude”.
“She deserves to be treated badly, but that won’t teach her any kind of lesson, it will just make her worse,” the Redditor suggested.
“The best course of action is to arrest her for disturbing public order.”
However, Los Angeles Police Department officials say the woman went to the police station to file a criminal complaint and her speech caught the attention of the black man in the lobby.
“The gentleman and her were arguing and we separated them and kept the peace,” a department spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
He added that the woman was not charged with any crime and that her complaint had been filed with the police.
