When responding officers finally arrive, Hayes narrates what happened. The caller gets angrier when she realizes the officers are not going to arrest the out of place ‘intruder’.
‘Just go in there and do what you gotta do and hurry up. Hurry up!’ she yells at Hayes. ‘Hurry up, do it and get out,’ she told officers.

After finishing his inspection and leaving the house, Hayes recorded another video saying the woman called the police because he is black.
‘I don’t look threatening,’ he said. ‘I keep my business cards on me. I keep contracts on me. I keep signs on me, just so people will know, “Hey. I’m here to look at a house”. But at the end of the day, she just did not want me in her neighborhood.’
