The video shows dozens of people with water guns aimed at a police officer who tries to retreat to his squad car for safety.

The officer is massively outnumbered and visibly agitated as the mob surrounds him.

Earlier this week, we highlighted other examples of the same trend in Harlem and Brooklyn, where cops were doused with water and one had a bucket thrown at his head.

The fad serves to illustrate how there is a growing sense of lawlessness and a total lack of respect for police officers in major cities.

Following the incidents in New York, NYPD sources blamed Mayor Bill de Blasio for creating a climate that is soft on crime.

President Trump then waded into the debate, calling the incidents a "total disgrace" on calling on de Blasio to take action.
