Video: Cops Use Megaphone To Curse From A Social Distance

HELL'S KITCHEN, NY — Police officers patrolling Hell's Kitchen were filmed repeatedly cursing at a man using their patrol car's speaker system, and video of the shouting match may get the officers in trouble, according to NYPD officials.

The socially-distant curse out occurred near the intersection of West 49th Street and Eighth Avenue when police officers parked their car across the street from a man who was walking alone, according to video posted on Twitter. During the verbal joust, officers can be heard telling the man "shut the f--- up," "suck a fat one," and "I'll slap the s--- out of you."

Cops and the man yell at each other for about two minutes before the patrol car begins to drive away. Police officers appeared to get the final word — an unceremonious "lick my b----" — before the video cuts out.

Video of the altercation is likely to get the involved police officers in trouble with the department. NYPD Transit Chief Edward Delatorre commented on the Twitter video saying "I'm equally alarmed by the footage. Our internal investigators are looking into the matter." The official NYPD account also released a statement saying that the curseout was "put under investigation immediately" by internal affairs.
