I mean, she is vile, don’t get me wrong, the gentleman was so measured, but clearly she was unhinged.

UMM no. Her dog walker confirmed he walked the same dog for her TWO YEARS AGO.

Mental breakdown my butt. She deliberated decided to off-leash her dog in Central Park and when called on it - decided to both harass that person and get the police to do the same.

He was recording her and harassing her.

Nonsense.

I would want to see the interaction before. We don't hear him asking to put the dog back on the leash. She asked him to stop recording her and he refused. That is threatening and harassing her. He was setting this situation up.

There was nothing in the recording that showed him threatening or harassing her.

She was the one who approached him after having clearly lost her cool and ripped off her mask.

He was setting her up for this to happen and wanted his 5 minutes of fame which he got. There was no reason to record her. There was no reason to provoke her. She may have been raped or attacked in the past which caused her to panic. Both were wrong.

Really - that is your takeaway?

Recording someone isn't provocation or threatening.

And he didn't post the recording - so what 5 minutes of fame?

Just admit she was wrong and tried to get a bird watcher shot by the police for asking her to politely LEASH HER DOG.

+1. She wasn’t threatened, it was an act. If she was truly threatened, she would have moved away, not closer to the man.

Not at all. He turned on his camera when she declined to leash her dog. And filming anyone in a public space is neither threatening nor harassing on it’s own. He sounded very calm and polite on the tape.

Dear Black people,

Does this happen to you all regularly? I am shocked to see this. Never thought that any woman would cheapen herself like this. The last 4 years in this country has been eye-opening for me and the world.

She wasn't near anyone in an open area. He pulled out his phone to yell at her and provke a reaction that he could post on social media.

Who cares if she was near anyone or not. A dog can run across a field and attack a kid faster than the police can get there. There should be a way that people can text their videos to the cops when they're out in public and see people with their dogs off leash, and it should be a REALLY big fine. It can result in injury or death (not to mention the disgusting evidence that dogs usually leave behind especially when the owner "was a bit far away and didn't see them do that") and it's so unnecessary. It could be a money maker for the city/county.

She wasn't near anyone nor was the dog.

Since you admit we don't see the interaction before he started recording, why are you unwilling to accept that a clearly irrational woman reacted in a way to him that made it necessary for him to start recording?

Your gut assumption is that he did it to provoke and harass her. Not to document her craziness and/or protect himself when she flew off the handle after he made a reasonable request.

Your just as bad as the lady in the video with your biases.

All she had to do is put the dog on the leash and he wouldn't have had his 5 minute of fame. She has time to walk towards hi, time to talk s-it, time to call the cops, time to abuse the dog but she has no time to put the dog on the leash.
You cannot provoke me enough to call the police after I've been wrong. She set herself up. It would've worked for he if it wasn't for him filming her.
Why do we need to know that he is African American? Why does the police need to know he is African American unless it benefits her somehow. "Lock her up, lock her up!".

What is shocking was how quickly she adopted the persona of a women in danger in just a second. Did she always have this planned in her head?

Did her parents and family teach her that she can accuse a black man of rape or sexual violence and people will be sympathetic to her? What is very true that if it was not pandemic situation where people are hesitant to come near other people, police would have likely believed her. As it were, she was the one who was coming close to the man instead of him getting close to her.

White women have to continue to learn the hard way. Men might still rule the world, but white women are by far the most entitled.

I think its a confluence of two things:

A) Even only a 100 incidents like this nationwide in a population of 300 million looks like a lot thanks to the instant access of social media.
B) A majority population has gotten away with accusing or even killing minority individuals (particularly men) for decades in this country. See Patricia Ripley* who killed her own son 2 days ago and immediately blamed two phantom black men.

Thanks to social media, CCTV, and smartphones - people are able to record these interactions and are proving almost instantly in some cases that the instigator was lying their faces off.

I hope that CCTV becomes so ubiquitous that we don't even have to rely on individual recordings anymore.

He was smart to record the interaction. No doubt she would have lied and he would be in jail without the recording. Look at all her defenders even when there is a recordIng of her entitled and nasty reaction.

Social media does not equal reality.
Does messed up stuff happen? Yes.
Most of the people posting crazy stuff like this have an agenda (no life too), so dont take them too seriously.

Yes, stuff like this happens, although luckily nothing super blatant like this has happened to me (I'm a woman, though). However, less dramatic incidents has happened to people I know--for example, my brother tried to make a return at a store and was accused of stealing. That sort of stuff is relatively minor, but the stress effect is cumulative. Anyway, this stuff doesn't surprise us.
