Vicious 'Karen' has epic meltdown at Los Angeles police station as she launches racist tirade at man in the lobby

An erratic woman was filmed having an epic meltdown at a Los Angeles police station and launching into a racist tirade at a man in the lobby.

The video, apparently captured from the Hollywood Police Station on August 6 at 12.01am, shows the unidentified woman getting into a shouting match with the man filming her after she allegedly demanded the cops shoot homeless people.

He began to insult the woman - saying she was 'shaped like an apple with little skinny legs' and looks like a 'slob.'

The woman could then be seen yelling at him to 'go back to the jungle' and 'go back to Africa' before she is escorted out of the police station.

An unidentified woman was caught on camera having a meltdown at the Hollywood Police Station in the early morning hours of August 6

The footage begins with the woman standing at the counter at the Hollywood Police Station, complaining to cops seated behind a glass partition about the city's homelessness problem.

'You guys can't go out there and stand on the street and arrest these people,' she screams.

When the officer tries to reply, she cuts him off and says, 'No because you know what, because you're too afraid to confront them. That's your problem.

'You guys can't confront these people and get them off the street,' she continues, before asking the officer, 'What's your gun for?'

'You don't know how to use your gun, sir,' she accuses the officer. 'That's why they have you sitting here doing the computer.'

The woman was filmed yelling at officers, and suggesting they should shoot homeless people

The woman goes on to argue that officers should go after 'the druggies, homeless black people that roam around here'.

'They're vandalizing cars. And you're letting these people stay here,' she accused the cops, arguing it 'is the city's responsibility' because 'they're loitering.'

At that point, the black man standing in line interrupted.

'She wants to shoot homeless people,' he said, incredulously.

But the woman tells him, 'Sir, it's none of your f***ing business.'

'It is my business, you dumb b***h,' he retorts. 'Shut your mouth!'

Still, the woman tells him 'it's none of your f***ing business.'

'Well you're here in public talking, so I'll speak up,' the man said, before insulting her.

'Your love handles are seeping over the sides. That's why you look like a ... slob. Look at you. You literally look like a slob.

'Get your s*** together, lady. You look disgusting. You're just miserable.

'No wonder you're miserable, look at you. You're shaped like an apple with little skinny legs,' the man continues.

'You look like... You know what? Look at you, you're f***ing broke. You're broke. Your life sucks.'

When a black man interjected, the woman launched into a racist tirade - repeatedly telling him to 'go back to the jungle' and 'go back to Africa'

At that point, the woman started making racist remarks.

'Go back to the jungle!' she told the man. 'Go back to the jungle.

'Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa! Go back to the jungle.'

Officers behind the counter could be heard telling the woman to 'stop,' but she quickly pointed at the man and retorted, 'he started it.'

Still, the man continued to tell her 'your life sucks,' prompting the woman to once again tell him to 'go back to your f***ing jungle.

'Look at you, you're the one from the jungle lady, with your little $5 outfit,' he shoots back, telling her she should go back to the jungle instead.

'No, I'm American. Nobody brought me here,' she says.

The man then continues to insult the woman, saying, 'You look disgusting. It is too bad! It's a damn shame. Look at you, you're disgusting. You look filthy. You're the one who started it lady,' he yells, as an officer escorts her out.

She was escorted by police out of the station, and was not charged with any wrongdoing

Many on Reddit praised the man for standing up to her, with one saying the 'world could do with a few more people like him calling people out for their s**t.'

Another derided the woman as a 'disgusting human being,' and said he was 'glad' the man 'talked to her in that way, she deserved it.'

But a third suggested the woman may be suffering from 'mental illness and/or a failing liver' and is 'probably drunk' but is 'definitely belligerent and churlish. 

'She deserves to be treated poorly, but it won't teach her any type of lesson, she'll just be even worse,' the Redditor suggested.

'The best course of action is to arrest her for disturbing the peace.'

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department, however, say the woman went to the police station to file a crime report and her rant got the attention of the black man in the lobby.

'The gentleman and her were arguing and we separated the two and kept the peace,' a spokesman for the department told DailyMail.com.

He added that the woman was not charged with any wrongdoing, and her police report was filed.
