During New York’s heatwave, a shirtless man in Harlem flung a red bucket at a police officer trying to detain someone on the hood of his cruiser. It hit him in the head as a crowd of onlookers watched and gasped. Hearing no objection, the man and his friends continued to douse the officer and his partner with water.

A few days later, two officers in Brooklyn were sprayed with a water hose as they walked back to their car. The encounter was caught on camera, and in the now-viral video, a young man can be seen running up to the officer and dumping a bucket of water directly on one officer’s head. Again, the onlookers watched, some even laughed.
