There isn't a leash law for children, so...

If someone's unleashed dog runs over to a treat from someone else, obviously the dog isn't well trained or obedient, like the owners of unleashed dogs ALWAYS claim THEIR dog is!

Let's examine this, shall we?

How was he clearly intimidating? Being black and alive?

As the video begins you see HER walking up to him, threatening HIM.

Yet, you sincerely believe it was HIM who was intimidating, and HER who was threatened?

And why should he have walked away?

Why is her right to peacefully flout the law more important than his to peacefully enjoy the park?

The dog was disturbing the birds, the very reason for this specific area of the park, and the reason leashes are required in this area. That is why it was important to him that she stop.


Why did she need to threaten him? Why did she need to walk up to him? Why didn't she just leash her dog and walk away? Why do you put the onus for letting it go on the black man? Why do you believe her rights supercede his?

I hope that you'll take your inability to answer these questions as a sign that you need to do some soul searching.

The PP won’t soul search. They will continue to be biased against black ppl, given how clear it is to them that a black person must have been intimidating because there is no way a white woman could ever act like this without being provoked because white women are so clearly always the victims not the perpetrators -how could such innocent people ever do anything wrong? No it’s not possible, so let’s now put the blame on a black person because they are so clearly always the perpetrator! This is why things continue to be the way they are.

9 times out of 10, any adult scolding another adult for his or her behavior is attempting to be intimidating, even if the other adults is in the wrong.

Not defending her, but...

I feel like this woman would have gone bananas with *anyone* who criticized her for letting her dog run unleashed. Man, woman, child, black, white or whatever: her reaction would have been the same.

Some people are short-fused and defensive...especially in NYC.

I didn't see it as intimidation as much as baiting her to get the reaction he got. He overstepped by calling the dog over and admitting he carries dog treats--wtf? Why?

They both are wrong and we should be WAY more concerned about what happened in Minneapolis last weekend than this.

This.

Criticizing a stranger always involves risk.

I saw two white women go nuts in the ladies room at a high end department store. They were strangers. One lady was upset that the house the other lady’s stroller was blocking the paper towels.

A normal person would have politely said, “Pardon me. Will you please pass a paper towel please?” Instead, she went on a passive aggressive tirade to the entire room about how SOME people are so RUDE and entitled, etc. It quickly escalated to a screaming match.

You are missing the point. The point is that she weaponized his race against him by lying to the cops saying that a black man was threatening her life. At what point was her LIFE in danger ? If fact, she was threatening her dog’s life the way she was grabbing him. So whether she was intimated or one risks getting into an argument with someone is irrelevant to why people are upset. What is relevant here is that she tried to leverage her white privilege against him because how dare he challenge her as a black man? Hard to imagine that she’d call the cops on another white woman and use similar language. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Okay, since you still don't get it, let's continue.

Why would you choose to use the word "scolding" for someone asking someone to not break the law? Why do you characterize something so simple as scolding or intimidating? Why have laws if no one is allowed to ask you to follow them?

I thought he was intimidating her? But now he's the one taking a risk? How can it be both?

Or are you saying he should have known this was a potential consequence of speaking up? Do you think the answer to that (ridiculous) reality is for black people to stay quiet, rather than people like this woman simply following the law?

Do you understand that in your scenario about the paper towels, HE would be the one having the meltdown, but that is not what happened here? More accurately, it would be as if he asked her to move so he could reach the paper towels, and SHE went into a passive-aggressive tirade. Except substitute a request to stop breaking the law with the request for paper towels, and substitute a murder-by-cop threat for passive-aggressive tirade.

No. Do not both sides this.

And we can be upset about both.

One is simply what could have happened here had the cops shown up, but thankfully they didn't. One illustrates the very danger she put him in with her fake cry for help.

There is no both sides to this. One person broke the law. One person made a fake report to 911. One person attempted to weaponized race. One person, not both.

From which scholarly journal did you extract this information? Or is this just your opinion?

You can't bait someone into racist behavior. She made a choice to do some racist sh!t. Why are you so willing to give her a pass and make him responsible for her actions?
