I think he was giving treats to the dog to lure it out of the bushes where it was disrupting the birds.

He has said that he carries treats to lure off-leash dogs to him which forces the owners to put a leash on their dogs if they don't want the dogs to take them.

He's a smart man.

You're kind of simple, aren't you?

BTW, people are using a term to describe this woman that has essentially become an epithet of its own, including the man's sister who posted the video.

Not the pp, but the dog owner is in the wrong here.

Franklin Templeton, an investment firm, posted a statement on Twitter


She probably won't loser her job. Just have to do some HR Sensitivity Training.

Nope she will lose her job. I work at a big four consulting firm and I can tell you this is definitely grounds for losing your job. It's always drilled into us that what we do outside of work can reflect poorly on our firm. I will not be surprised if she's let go.

And she should lose her job. In today's world, there are plenty of investment firms and consultants that people can choose from. If they do not terminate her, it says that they accept an unspoken racial bias as acceptable in their employees. It says that they tolerate potential racial profiling or unspoken racial bigotry in their company and instills suspicion by minority clients that they have no idea if the agent or account manager that they deal with harbors the same unspoken beliefs, that there may be a "culture" or such unspoken bigotry. If she is willing to call the police on a random black person in the park telling her to leash her dog, is bad enough. But to accuse that man of threatening and attacking her and her dog, in this day and age of so many unarmed black men being beaten and some killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, for so many men to be socially, career and publicly destroyed by #MeToo accusation and to completely fabricate such a story, says that she things that she better than he, that he needs to learn his place, and that she feels that she is privileged and he is not.

They need to send a clear message that they do not tolerate such beliefs in their staff and reassure minority clients that this isn't a unspoken culture within the company where they would be treated differently just because they are a minority. There are so many ways that people like this can treat white clients better than black clients and in many ways that can't be tracked or supervised. They need to take an unequivocal stance that this is not tolerated in any way.

I wonder if this Birdwatcher would’ve also approached a burly black man with a pitbull in the park , and record that guy I highly doubt it he saw a target and he took it , he saw an opportunity and he took it . And now we Have this viral Social media storm which does nothing except invite us divide a fractured country during a pandemic we are being destroyed in every single way and a stupid little incident in a park is what we are focused on

You sound like an ahole who lets their dog off leash in places you shouldn't. Or a racist. Stop looking for excuses to justify the woman's insane, highly illegal behavior.

PP here meant to say this incites division. Being allowed And encouraged to call white people Becky’s and Karen’s is just as bad as calling black people Lakisha Tyrone and Shaniqua. We need to stop the hysterics and stop making everything about race and start uniting before we all go down the tubes each and everyone of us every color except maybe the one per centers where color doesn’t mean crap ask Obama and Oprah They know

Sorry, racists don't get a pass because of coronavirus. And clearly racists aren't taking a break from their normal racist patterns.

Hypotheticals aside fact is he asked her to leash her dog and she escalated the situation and made a fool of herself all on her own. Wouldn't have been an opportunity if she didn't react so foolishly.

You can say Karen. It isn’t a slur LMAO

Here on DCUM, it is. And Jeff does not approve of that use of the name. In this case, it is part of the title of many articles since the victim's sister used it when she posted the video. But, DCUM posters should not be using it.

Okay, I'm a runner who carries dog treats in my pack. Why? Because I've had dogs off-leash come running up to me on multiple occasions!

Most times they are friendly and just want to run along. A few times they've been unfriendly. And guess what? In all cases, even the unfriendly encounters, my pack full of dog treats works wonders until the embarrassed owner shows up with the leash.

Oh poor white women, we are so persecuted and preyed upon.

This is really smart. I don't want dogs running up to me while running - do you think it would work if I threw the dog treat "over there" to get them to go in another direction? I'm completely fed up with dog owners who are too lazy to be responsible for their animal.

Between this case and the case of the handcuffed black gentleman on the ground in MN dying while the white police officer has his knee on the man's neck (even after he passes out before ultimately dying) I can't hold back the tears. I'm sickened. Racism is NOT okay EVER in any way, shape or form.

Her apology was BS. First, it starts off with “I’m not racist” when clearly she is. Second, she says she didn’t mean to harm the man or the African American community. This also is clearly a lie. By weaponizing her white fragility, she endangered every Black man in the park that day. The inability for her or others to see this is due to the racism and privilege that is so prevalent in this country. Finally, it is not just the Karen’s that need to apologize. Our entire social fabric needs to change. All systems and institutions need to recognize and acknowledge the part they have played in creating an environment for this type of behavior to thrive. For the last several years we have seen video after video of police encounters and people still wanted to say it’s just a few bad apples. Now we are seeing more and more citizen interactions and again y’all are quick to accept an apology and move in. Where do you think she learned this behavior? It is everywhere and in everything.

There is no such thing as not racist. You are either racist or anti-racist. There is no neutral position regarding racism. If you are not actively against it, you are for it. The k lay way for things to even begin to change is if more people understand this and act accordingly.
