“I was not gonna lie, the adrenaline was a lot at that point, and afterwards it was exhausting it felt like I had worked out the next day for quite a bit.”
The caught-on-camera incident happened the same day the LAPD announced they are adding 200 officers to the Hollywood division to address the spike in crime, FOX 11 reported.
“Even one of the officers and I talked about it… they’re tired of it… a lot of people like myself are tired of this type of thing happening… we’re seeing more and more people just not putting up with it and taking it into their own hands… which I’m glad for… and I’d happily do it again,” Ratcliff said.
