"Are you seriously mad because we cleaned off your sidewalk?" the clip began, showing his confrontation with a small-statured woman who had a thick accent.
The angry woman expressed her disapproval and shoveled what they had cleared off back on the sidewalk, ordering that McAdory and his companion stay off her property.
"Don't trespass that line!" she yelled, drawing it out with her hand.
"I don't need anything from you!" she continued, while the friend shoveled away the snow again as he explained they were just trying to help and do a kind neighborly deed.
The two argued as she declared, "That's trespassing property!"
"This is a public sidewalk!" McAdory fired back as she called the cops, declaring there was "an emergency."

In the end, the men were asked to not shovel her snow and the officers were gone in roughly 20 minutes.
"When the police is called on people of my color, just to be on the safe side, I just say, 'Record,'" McAdory told the Daily Beast in a statement.
"I don't know what's wrong with her. I don't know if it's racism," McAdory added. "I just didn't want to be arrested for something as minor as that."
