Cops really don’t like to be filmed doing or saying things against protocol. That’s what makes this video of a cop telling a Mr. Softee truck driver to “blow me, bitch” that much sweeter.
After being regularly harassed by a particular police officer on several occasions, a street vendor decided to catch the rude behavior on video. Turns out, she didn’t care and actually encouraged the recording as she danced like an idiot and screamed “I don’t care!”
According to The Street Vendor Project director Sean Basinski, the incident is said to be one instance of an ongoing problem between NYPD officers and street vendors. ”We hear it every day,” Basinski told the New York Daily News. “Officers who deal with street vendors use bad language and threaten to arrest them when they pull out a video phone. We never had any proof until now.”
The organization says it will continue to document police officers behaving badly toward street venders on video and upload the footage to Twitter with the hashtag #blowmebitch.
