A video showing the moment a white woman calls the Police in Illinois because two black men are shoveling snow near her home has gone viral on networks like TikTok.
The footage from February 17 was recorded by Gregory McAdory and his friend, who at the time ran a small snow removal business in Rockford.
That day, the duo went to a friend’s father’s house to clear the driveway as a snow storm had passed.
As soon as they were done, they moved to the sidewalk in front of the neighbor’s house and continued cleaning.
At that moment, the female came out and demanded that they leave while threatening to call the police.
“Are you seriously upset that we clean your sidewalk?” McAdory questions in the video as the resident throws some of the collected snow.
“Don’t cross this line!” the woman replies.
“I don’t need anything from you,” he continues.
The duo alleges that it is a public sidewalk. Subsequently, the inhabitant calls the police.
“They’ll get there sooner if you tell them there are niggers here,” McAdory adds sarcastically.
“These guys are African American. I don’t get along with them,” the racist snaps.
“They are making fun of me. See, they don’t have any respect,” she alleges.
According to the Daily Mail report, the Rockford Police Department confirmed that a call was recorded at 12:30 pm in which the woman reported disorderly conduct, harassment and an urgent need for help.
In a second video that McAdory shared on the social network, two officers are seen arriving on the scene and standing in front of their patrol car. Agents spoke to the woman who they said was mentally challenged and she told workers to stay off her property and not remove her snow.
There was no police report of the incident. The uniformed men remained at the scene for less than 20 minutes.
