- Venice Beach Boardwalk, June 4, 2024: Los Angeles police officers engaged in an altercation with a street artist at the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Vendors and artists are allocated a 10-foot by 10-foot space on the boardwalk, but the artist in question had placed his belongings on the adjacent grass area. Police officers requested that the artist remove his items from the grass and place them within his designated spot.
The officer explained that a beautification project is currently underway to improve the appearance of the grass. An argument ensued, during which the artist voiced his frustration by shouting at the officer. Following the confrontation, the artist complied and removed his items. No citations were issued.

Make sure to boycott this "artist"
This guy is a “Jack “
@@coinbase910 He is obviously off his Meds and could be a threat to the community......
Oink oink
Yes bootlicker
Angry white guy buys laser machine and some spray paint
What a jerk.
Mentally unstable “vendor”. He thinks that he is the main character.
Okay, NPC.
why aren't they protecting us from real criminals , this guy is just vending chilling until this tyrant lady came to disturb the peace
@@frensunited3748 thing is dude YOU got NO IDEA who you might actually be responding to there it might actually be Sundar Pichai himself using a fake account to leave random comments. think before being just another rude idiot
Mental ill with a master degree. Take your meds.
Dudes got a screw lose
Many, more than the Boeing jets.
Democrats always do 😂
another case of, when you were never told no as a child
This is what a male Karen looks like. Maybe he should care a little more about the grass.
We call them Darens
Idiot; "You're crazy dude." Disturbing the peace!
Venice. Same circus, different clowns.
Speaking of which, wheres Daisy
@@atreehugger1409 wherever a camera is running mainly............😉
Keep voting Blue and endless catastrophes keep happening too

What an irritating person.
A Democrat obviously
@funfact8660 why does it always go back to politics? I find your comment irritating, does that make you a Democrat?
The unhinged tax-paying “artist” with a master’s degree was beyond obnoxious.
Guy couldnt paint his way out of a paper bag
Making an azz out of himself. Rules dont apply to him.
That vendor needs a pacifier.
$24k in taxes…. Well that was a lie
That ain’t S. Junior.
Dude just shut up.
An artist that’s so successful he has to “sell” it on the street. Bro couldn’t even afford to download the Etsy app😂
Omg that guy needs anger management asap. He is not a real artist 🙄.
That dude is a crybaby with no friends , everyone is an artist! BS
Santa Monica has become a third world dystopia.
@@lovesmimiv6583 The entire westside coastal communities are a magnet for transients.
How about Manhattan beach?
The whole state of Californiastan is now a tacky chunti zacapoaxtla territory 🤡
What a whiny uhh.. dude.
I bet he pays $0 in taxes
keep projecting. u have no idea whats going on. china makes everything and owns you lmfaoooo. You defend communism. Could never be me. laughable
They always deflect and never take accountabilty.
Just follow the rules .🤦
take him to jail
This artist should be banned from the boardwalk. He is totally disrespectful and totally rude towards the Police. He should have been arrested for profanity and disrupting the peace.
What a fool just put your stuff in the space no big deal.
Can you imagine him and Daisy having a baby….OMG!
nope Daisy aint gonna let a cretin like that anywhere near her organs
😅😂😅😂
He’s mad no one is actually wanting to buy his shitty art and taking it out on the cops lol
Guess they never heard of arresting for disorderly conduct
YOU CAN'T REASON WITH THESE PEOPLE.
That guy is a liar. He doesn’t have a master’s degree either. He copies other people’s artwork and sells it as his own.
shit , my day is ruined ! there's daisy !
Dissy 💩🚽😜😜
Yes he's very rude to the office . calm down boy!
Glad you captured this. Aggressive people like this need to be exposed. The way he was carrying on makes one think he could easily be the perpetrator of the major crimes he mentioned. His art is tainted. You wouldn't want the essence of that anywhere near your house.
"Please move your things off the grass "
"OMG this is the biggest imposition ever posed to a human being "
Artist needs a reality check
Drugs consumption
He does not pay that much in taxes 😂
HIS CHANCE OF BEING A VICTIM HAS FINALLY COME.
little man with a big ego...
Oh, now I get it. He is a street performer and he calls himself an "artist". What he is selling isn't art.
I’m not a fan of McAdams, but damn, this guys a clown. I’ll be sure to remember him and spend my money with somebody else. He’s disturbing the peace. I love Venice and he’s ruining it.
I Love Sgt Mcadams
WHAT IS THAT? A 50+ OLD MAN ON A SKATE BOARD? UNREAL! AND CRAZY DAISY AGAIN! THANKS FABIAN!
i like green grass and i pay taxes
Well said!!
This guy is making a big deal out of nothing. Cops just doing a job.
What a cry baby
According the CA Tax table, to pay $24k you'd have to earn way over $400K per annum. I"m a bit skeptical, but I'm not an artist.
Not true.
Assuming he really owns a house in Venice, he’s probably throwing his property taxes into that figure
We have some of the worst taxes in the nation bro, if you add everything up from business licenses, property tax, income, permits, etc etc I wouldn't doubt he pays that much.
He's still obnoxious and I wouldn't shop there, but this whole state is a racket on taxing us man
That's not true. My federal tax was 70K and I don't earn 400K. My California tax was actually less.
Who is this guy!! Let’s get him off the beach asap ….
This is what the entitled look like when they have little temper-tantrums and can’t have it their way. What a whiner!!!
this is what we call a "Red Flags" for all the single ladies in SoCal ..if this dude has a partner/gf big yikes!
And y'all think we don't have a mental health crisis in this country? LOL
People are so crazy in Venice
No wonder no one wants to be an officer anymore 😢
And who is to blame for this passive behavior of the police?
CA entitlement
It's surreal. Officers being bullied.
It puts the boxes on the sidewalk.
And the lotion on its skin
Lmaooo
This is the best part 9:22 I really appreciate your hard work because it is very important.
one single "request" he's is turn it into a "Drama"
They shouldn't be allowed to sell that junk anyway,just looking for a settlement.
He didn’t pay shit!!!!!!!
…omg…great job filming❤
its junk - that is why you are there
That is definitely one interesting place to live in and the police deal with so many situations
That is some wild wacky stuff. 😂😂😂😂
"Did you see that Ed?"
@@lynnm7768 You are correct sir yes! 🤣🤣🤣
The art was his response.
If you have a master's degree then you would understand the sense she is making instead of making a scene
FRUITS, FLAKES, AND NUT CASES. UGH.
Yep, sounds like predator Trumpers.
Thank you for posting I hope nobody buys anything from this guy after seeing this video.
Get off my Lawn !!!! 🎉
How the police allow the verbal abuse is beyond me. Never in Texas! That level of disrespect should not be allowed! What is wrong with you LAPD? Is this what you want children to learn!
2 different states nomatter if they were on top of each other .
What happened to LAPD? Rodney King is what happened! They got de balled! LAPD was at one time one kick ass and take names department! People never F with them! This is what you get when you de ball your police! They just stand there and take it!
here in cali people got power. The amount of wrong doing lawsuits in LA are off the roof. This is why people can do this. Also its freedom of speech. If you cant take verbal abuse you shouldnt be a cop.
they should of arrested the vendor thats pretty crazy
Great vid!!!😊
he could just have said "okay sure no problem" and that's it but this is a crazy drama queen having a meltdown
This plain-shirted dude is telling the cameraperson that he pays 5 figure taxes? 😂
"I have a masters degree in business administration". Well, now you're a street artist.
Those Police are very patient and polite , he needs something to calm him down ,
They had vendor laws when I read tarot cards out there. This just proves that money never makes a person decent.🙌✅🤣
The police of Santa Monica have so much patience and restraint. Dealing with loony's like him makes for a very long day. He is off his med's.
It is offensive to speak to anyone this way .especially officers who are doing their jobs. It is important to keep the Venice area clean and safe for the people who want to enjoy it. The police should not be bullied. A sad sad reality. Children are taught not to be bullies. What are they thinking to allow this?
dude, quit drugs.
I think the only drugs he’s on are steroids
I'm from Mogadore, Ohio and after I watched this, yes he is a Karen, she was just enforcing the law that saves the destruction of the grass, which they were obviously tearing up the growth of the grass with their heavy blue plastic boxes and their heavy feet, protect the grass and put that psycho in jail
Это брат Дейзи?
Da da
boycott this artist,the city is trying to safe the grass,grass gets destroyed by vendor
Need to fine him or arrest him then maybe he would learn.
And while you're at it...stop selling JUNK!
Just another unhinged “artist” in CA
This guy needs to be put in his place, he should be greatful he even has a place to sell
5:03 🤣🤣🤣 freaking goofball
Things go better when you say, "No problem officer, we will move it right now"
😂 obviously, normal is too hard for this artiste to comprehend 😂😂😂
I love this channel. Thanks for the honest videography.
Refund the police 🚔
Complaining about a law that was created by the city council or something to a Police Officer who really has zero voice in those matter
Edit: Also, complaining about how cops are wasting time on him, when he can just comply and save their time
$24000 a year in tax.... I doubt it
A Masters Degree in street vending? Didn’t know that was even possible.
humans getting crazier by the second.
Temper Tantrum - though forgot to get on his belly and kick and hit hands on the ground while he was screaming.
That was a ton of beta energy… when you embrace entitlement you get that “fella”
Wow, the police are just doing their job and following orders. They have to cover a multitude of codes, rules and enforcement. I like the other vendors reaction, quietly abiding to the rule.
Revised comment/synopsis:
Lacking a satisfactory exhibition facility; the artist tosses his accouterments aside.
But Public Policy/Police, do not share his concern in this advanced year of 2024
(maybe a small artists/painters cloth could cover all sins)?
Whatever happened to the “City of Angels”?
[1956 HITS ARCHIVE: City Of Angels - Highlights]
The first guy was an absolute jerk.
This NPC needs to get banned
Finally lapd doing something useful instead of looking at teenage girls walk by
You seem butt hurt 🌈
Dude is a moran
Lazy Daisy makes another appearance to help the homeless put a rake or broom 🧹 in her hand and she will show them how to get the job done😂
