A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging​ her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.

      Summarizing my other reply, but cops often literally don't have legal jurisdiction outside of their presinct. This is normal and is state/federal law, not the cop's decision

        They should still be obligated to record and pass on the details of the crime, and get the citizen in contact with the correct people directly. Recording and reporting crime and inter-police communication is kinda their whole fucken job.

        Police in other states don't usually force the victim to relocate. They usually call someone to come in from the proper precinct.
