Hello, patriots. So we are here at the Sixth Precinct here in Selden, New York, right here on Long Island.

This is the precinct where Officer Ahmed is from.

That's why his vehicle had a 600 number on it.

So we're gonna see if we could, uh, speak to a supervisor here because what just happened was egregious and he needs to be held accountable.

I need to speak to his supervisor.

And somebody very specific or- I'm sorry?

Are you speaking to somebody specific? You were, uh- No, I just...

There was an officer that came to my home, and I need to speak right now.

Yeah. He just... He left and I came here, and I need to speak to a supervisor about the conduct of the officer.

Do you have your ID? Um, no, I'm not gonna give my ID right now.

I just wanna speak to somebody. All right. They'll be with you shortly.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I'll just let them know you're here. Yep, no problem.

One eternity later. Hey, how are you? Fine, just moving. How are you? How you doing? Uh, what was your name?

My name is, uh, Sergeant Cromer. It's K-R-O-M-E-R. Okay. My name is Shaun-Paul Reyes. Nice to meet you.

I, I'm here to, uh, to speak with you regarding an officer that just came to my home.

Okay. An Officer Ahmed. What happened? Um, so he came to my home and I was inside.

Uh, we were having a Memorial Day barbecue, had some friends and family over. Okay.

Uh, just enjoy- just enjoying the day. Okay.

And my, uh, wife and her friends came running inside to me terrified because a police officer apparently was in my backyard.

He was inside your backyard or in the backyard?

In, in the backyard, yeah. Okay. He came into my backyard. Okay.

So I came out the front because apparently they had told me he, he left the backyard already. Okay.

So I went to the front of the house, saw him by the, by the front porch, and I said, "What are you doing coming into my backyard?"

He admitted that he tried... He said, allegedly, he tried to knock on the door, um, and then he went into the backyard.

I said, "Well, what gave you probable cause or, and do you have a warrant to enter my backyard?"

And he said, "No, I just went into your backyard."

Um, I told him... At that point, I told him...

He said he'd gotten allegedly a, uh, noise complaint from someone. Okay.

Um, again, this had happened probably like 5:30ish. Okay.

Um, not, not loud at all. Uh, you couldn't even hear the music from the front yard, um, which will be on my video.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
