Mcadory captured the moment as a white woman called the police on the two Black men, claiming they were trespassing (on the public sidewalk they were making safe for the community)
The video—which has been viewed more than one million times—shows the woman calling the cops, claiming the sidewalk is her private property.
You can see the first part below.
WARNING: NSFW language
The outraged White woman even shovels snow back onto the sidewalk, completely undoing the generous work the two men put in to ensure the safety of the other residents of the neighborhood.
Throughout the entire encounter, the two men remained calm and distant while the woman complained to the police over the phone, making sure they're aware the men are "African American" and also claiming they were "making fun" of her.
The woman continued to complain, even making threats about calling family members to do something to the men.
You can watch the interactions with the officers below.
WARNING: NSFW language
Mcadory resumed recording when the police arrived and also posted the second part to TikTok. The officers arrived and listened to what the men had to say. The men explained what happened, and it seemed like the officers were familiar with the woman, possibly having responded to her in the past.
The officers asked if the men wanted to press charges against the woman for making threats, but they declined. They just wanted to help out the community but instead ended up being harassed. One of the men, however, did state that if it happens again, he will press charges.
The man filming sighed:
"The life of being Black."
Many viewers commented the men were too kind to the woman, claiming they absolutely would have pressed charges.

Others noted it's incredibly sad the safety of others gets to be dictated by one White woman.

And while someone wasn't happy with the men's act of kindness, everyone else applauded their selfless contribution to the community.

Overall viewers were appreciative of the generous spirit and selflessness of these men.
It's such a shame there are still people in the world filled with so much hate... and can act on it without consequences.
