Why was that man carrying dog treats with no dog and trying to take her dog?

Read. The. Thread. This has been asked and answered.

There is no reason for him to be giving that dog any treats. No reason.

Uhh in the old days and still in some places this innocent man would’ve been lynched by white mobs based on this woman’s lie. Thank goodness he got it on video and that his sister posted it to social media. How much you want to bet this woman has done something similar before? And maybe it worked, which is why she’s doing it again?

This makes me SICK.

What is sick is he set up the situation and only shows part of the video. He was looking to target someone given why was he carrying dog treats and no dog. This woman has been lynched and based off his account he did it on purpose. .

Back under your bridge ugly.

You are ugly for basing an opinion without all the facts. His actions were to frame her any way possible. Dog off leach and a threat to you. You don’t try to take the dog via treats you call the police.

You seem to have a shaky relationship with the concept of what makes something a fact. You thinking he was trying to frame her? That is an opinion, not a fact. You thinking he was trying to take her dog? Opinion, not fact.

You want to know what is a fact?

1. This woman had her dog off leash in an area of the park where that is illegal.

2. This woman was informed of this fact and asked to leash her dog.

3. This woman approached the man in question.

4. The woman threatened to call the police if he didn't stop filming her, mentioning specifically that she would say she was being harassed by an AA male.

5. When that did not stop him, she calls 911 and lies to the dispatcher about what is happening.

6. The woman appears to suddenly become breathless and hysterical, claiming that she is under attack.

7. This whole time the man has not moved, as evidenced by the video.

8. Also this whole time, the woman is strangling the dog she is failing to control because he is not leashed.

Thems the facts.

Would you have preferred he pepper spray the dog? If your dog is off leash, people have a right to protect themselves. This man uses dog treats to do so, which is pretty damn humane.

She is clearly in the wrong for having her dog off leash in an area where it is not allowed. She's obviously racist and was saying "I'm calling the cops and letting them know an AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN IS THREATENING MY LIFE".. basically "who do you think they are going to side with?".. Nothing about this scene says she was truly scared or she would have left and then called. Plus, he wasn't threatening her life.

But he's also a d*ck to be offering treats to a strangers dog and I would bet 10 bucks he wouldn't have videotaped or approached a male.

If your dog is off leash, you get what you get. Your dog could get pepper sprayed, punched, kicked, or *faint* given a treat. Don't want that to happen? Leash your damn dog. This is all very simple.

Thank you. The man admitted to having treats to try to lure the dog away. She was not near anyone in a section alone. She had a leash. If he was threatened by the dog you don’t try to take the dog which is a crime nor anyone with common sense approach a woman who is alone with no one around and make threatening statements or approach. Why did he have dog treats? Why was he trying to get the dog to come to him? This is in his statement not hers. It makes no sense. He should mind his own business in no one is being harmed or call the police as he had a working phone and let the tell her.

He explained why he had dog treats, read the articles previously posted.

She was leading a dog off leash in a conservation area that strictly forbids that action. SHE was in the wrong. She has admitted and apologized for it. Why are you defending her when SHE isn't defending herself?

The dog was off leash. that was his strategy for dealing with it. other people use pepper spray. don't like it? don't take your dog off leash in a leash-only area and expect no repercussions.

In my best Jerry Seinfeld voice, it is one thing to have a leash, it is another thing to, you know, USE the leash.

She has the most calm, logical and intelligent approach to this incident in all of the media. She makes an honest account looking at all sides not just some bs headline That makes us all lynch the “perpetrator” and applaud the “victim “. This situation is not black or white, no pun intended. Perhaps both Cooper’s were wrong actually all three because the sister of the man is also not innocent. They both certainly acted like entitled, Narcissistic fools

This is straight from Trump's playbook. No, this is not two people behaving badly. There are not "good people on both sides". One is Hitler and one is an educated and law abiding Jew.

She is not only racist but she is a cold blooded wanna-be murderer who basically wanted this man to die because he was being a good citizen and inconveniencing her. Her acting to use the PC "African American" instead of any other name tells you the level of her depraved cunning.

The action of this brave man exposed a psychopathic NPD to the world. I worry for the safety of this man because people who stand up for justice are silenced and attacked.

Police brutality is not a myth. This white woman was betting on the cops to silence this guy. Without these videos the truth of how racist America is would never be revealed.

Dude. This is a bit much.

Dude, you need to learn how to quote. I fixed it for you.

And it is ironic that you could post that after what just happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis on the very same day. She is an intelligent college educated and post-graduate degreed professional. She can read the news and see the many stories of what happens to black men that are accused, not even proven, but just accused of violence. And despite the many stories of police brutality on black men she was willing to lie and fabricate a story of a black man threatening and assaulting a white woman and her dog. And listen to her acting as she grows more and more hysterical on the phone, pleading as if he was torturing her when all he was doing was standing there recording her with his phone. Imagine if there was no recording and the police showed up to the two of them arguing after the 911 call. Imagine what they would have done.

And it has happened again and again that black men are shot for a number of fictional reasons including that they were threatening police, resisting arrest, that they made a sudden move, that the officer was sure that they were reaching for the gun. Look at the stories of Botham Jean, Walter Scott, Oscar Grant, Stephon Clark, the list goes on and on. What she did was malicious. I can't believe that anyone is as naive as she claims to be that she didn't realize that she could be signing that man's death warrant. The stories of black men, unarmed men, nonviolent men who are beaten, abused, and killed by white police officers, especially if they are told by a frantic 911 call that the black man was threatening and assaulting a white woman are chilling. And that is what she wanted to happen to him, all for having the audacity to ask her to put her dog on a leash as required by law to protect the wild bird habitat for the protections of the birds.

You are extremely naive, privileged and ignorant if you think that what was said above is too much.

Dude. You called her Hitler. Get a grip.

She thought she'd get a man arrested for calling her out on illegal activity. She thought wrong.

The account he posted prior to the recording clearly stated he was trying to get the dog to come to him with dog treats. Who carries dog treats and bribes dogs to come to him especially if he is scared of dogs or feels threatened by the dog. The entire situation makes no sense. But, how would you feel if someone was trying to get your dog by offering treats?

I carry extra dog treats. I am a dog owner and am terrified of some large dogs. I have had several off leashed dogs and some leashed dogs approach my dog and things start to get tense. When I pull out treats and drop them the other dog usually stops to eat them and we walk away.

By his account, he was setting up the situation, being a bully and who knows what he was trying to do by trying to take the dog from her with dog treats. If that was a child, we'd call him a potential kidnapper. He set it up completely and if you look at his words, something is seriously off about the man. He was not bird watching and clearly has done this before or was out to take someone's dog as who carries treats around if you don't have a dog.

Pretty sure if the dog were a kid she'd already be in jail for strangling it.

Try harder?

She didn't strangle the dog.

Maybe not, but if you watch the video, she definitely abused the dog. Yanking a dog by the collar so hard that it yelps in pain is abuse. And she deserved to have the dog taken away.

She did not handle it well at all but was provoked and trying to keep the dog from him.

She was holding the dog by the collar with its feet off the ground. I kept wondering why she was so busy yelling at him and getting on the phone when 2 seconds to clip the dog would have ended it (she could have clipped the dog when she was bending down on the phone and didn't even do it then, not until later). She apparently was ignoring him until he started videotaping, then she freaked out (uh oh, her 15 minutes of unwanted fame) thereby guaranteeing her 15 minutes of unwanted fame.

Someone my DS used to know, a young woman with history since childhood of mental illness and develop drug problems on top of that, had her little dog at a bar one night and started swinging it around in the air on its leash, got banned for life from the bar, got arrested for animal abuse, had to surrender the dog.

I often let my dog start walks in our alley off the leash and get the leash on before we reach the sidewalk. He's an older dog but this let him have a minute or two to run a bit before settling down to a walk, and never had a problem (all the other dogs on the block are tiny noisy dogs who live behind fences and do not go for walks). But for awhile there was a tenant in a nearby apt house, a guy in his 50s who made a big deal about the leash and yelled at me about how there's a law and threatened to call the cops. I didn't like how aggressive he was about it and thought "asshole" several times but resigned myself because he was right about the law and in a confrontation, which I didn't want anyway, I had no leg to stand on.

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

I saw this too. I’m sometimes too empathetic though.
