While police are meant to protect civilians and crack down on crimes, there are many instances where that duty has not been fulfilled. Beyond the widespread issue of police brutality, there is also the matter of negligence. For one New York man, this negligence became all too real when he had the horrible experience of encountering a criminal who physically assaulted him. A police car happened to be nearby, so he approached it and asked the officers for help. Instead of jumping into action, however, the NYPD officers dismissed him, reportedly telling him that it wasn’t their problem, since it “wasn’t their area,” and instructed him to call 911 instead.
