She did not feel threatened in any way. She acted hysterically then irrationally, then gave into her emotions and her true side came to light. Her train of thought was "How dare this black man tell me what to do, im going to put him in his place" and she did this by using what she knows historically works, the police.

Think about it, if you feel threatened, are you going to constantly get closer to the threat or flee to safety while seeking help? What part of her actions showed her fleeing while seeking help?

If he didn't record that interaction the headlines would have been something ridiculous like "Upper West Side woman with rescue dog attacked by thug in broad daylight"

I believe if she wasn't choking that dog I don't even think this would have blown up as much as it did because the comments I kept seeing was allot of people were more concerned about the dogs well being than what was going to happen when the cops show up to assess a situation based on her voice acting when placing the 911 call.
Very well stated. One of the best I've seen on C-D on this topic. Of course, some people keep trying to project their own fears, beliefs, and narrative to excuse this woman's behavior but the the video is worth a thousand words.

He threatened her dog, that's close enough to threatening her. What she said was factual, but she threw in his skin color to try to elicit a stronger police response which is definitely racist but I don't see how that could be illegal

Anyone have the full video? it's been impossible to find, every news place has it censored/edited so you don't see the beginning of the video where he tries to lure and take the dog with treats he carries for that purpose

Don't destroy the statues though, put them in a museum somewhere or in state archives.

Civilized societies don't erase history, they learn from it
Ok great. So when do we tear down every American Indian statue and rename every street, city and town named after them?

I do not believe there is a video of him calling the dog to give it a treat to **** her off so she would leave the area. Just the statements given by him and her prior to the recording.

He started recording her refusal to leash the dog and stopped recording once she leashed the dog.

He threatened her dog?! Offering a dog treats (if this is what occurred) is not threatening. SHE, however, has been described as threatening by most people due to her behavior (aggressively coming close to the man) AND pulling the dog up off the ground by the neck. THAT was more than threatening the dog as she was injuring it.

I support it only if it is called Amy Cooper-Tawana Brawley Law. Same laws and legal treatment should hold for everyone.

Yes, he had the treat to lure the dog away from her and she flipped out and went into the racist rant we all saw. "Central Park Karen" is the perfect nickname for this spaz

Name one, name one group of people who get everything they demand?!?

This is atrocious.

Fact: Blacks are treated less kindly by police and the public
Fact: It is because their own poor reputation that has been observed by the American public for decades
Fact: They complain all the time and throw out the race card haphazardly to the point that its become a joke
Fact: EVERY OTHER ethnicity has come to this country and are doing just fine. You're the only ones that make excuses
Blacks are not a protected class in this country. No matter how much conviction you say with.

In the context of New York, I think we could agree that the Italians, Irish, Jews had it pretty bad. But they didn’t have it worse than blacks did.

The Native Americans aren’t doing “just fine,” but I’m sure you’ll ignore them too.
