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

So you think if a white man was asking her to leash her dog she would have called the cops and said and african american man is threatening her? She would have said a white male? Really?

I think she still would have gone bananas and escalated the situation. Absolutely.

Do you really think she would have smiled and said, “Whoops! My bad! Sorry” and leashed the dog without being defensive? No way.

Lots of people thrive on aggression. Some seek it out; others quickly engage and escalate. This is a personality trait/character flaw. It’s why we have anger management therapy.

Is she racist? Yep. But the encounter would have been very similar with anyone—including a white woman or a teenager.

No it would not have. You're missing WHY this was so egregious. Sure, she would have thrown a hiss fit with anyone, but she escalated to a place where she put this man's LIFE in danger. She would not and could not have done that to a white person. THAT is what is disgusting. Without that element, this is just run of the mill asshole behavior.

I’m guessing you’ve never seen white people go bananas at each other before? It happens. It escalates, sometimes they fight and pull hair, and sometimes they threaten to call the cops. Thanks to cell phones, it gets captured for the world to see.

I get that she made it racial. But I still think she would have gone bananas regardless, and she might have called the cops.

I am white. I was hit by a white woman on a bicycle. It was her fault (I was in my car stopped at a traffic light). She flipped out and threatened to call the cops. I actually did call the police because her bike damaged my car and I was worried that she might have hit her head. It wasn’t racial; she was just a lunatic. (She told the police officer that she was just upset because she was late for her therapy appointment.)

what you are missing is that this has happened to you ... once, a long time ago.

black people have to deal with this type of stuff on a regular basis... daily, weekly, monthly

You also were an equal (or even better than) the person who went crazy on you, the cops show up and they believe both of you or manybe just you since the other woman ... is going to therapy.

But when police take a report from a white woman and a black man they assume the white woman is telling the truth and the black man is lying.

Sigh. Exhausting.

Yes, we all get that. We understand.

I’m merely responding to the posters who erroneously believe this woman only acted this way because he was black. I disagree. I think she is prone to aggression and would have lashed out any anyone who chastised her for letting her dog run free. Anyone.

Some posters seem to think she would have easily accepted criticism from a white person. I’m telling you that’s not true. Aggressive white people don’t care what color your skin is; they look for fights.

No need to explain the system to me. I get it. But perhaps you need to understand that there’s way more going on here than just racism. This woman has issues and would have flipped out if a white kid chastised her—or a little old lady.

Yes, we get it. You want to use the mentally ill defense, and it's exhausting to be told no. We don't know what this woman would have done in another situation. WE DON'T KNOW. What we know is what she did in this situation. And what she did was incredibly racist and dangerous. Stop trying to find reasons for why it's not.

I am not defending her. I don’t think she’s mentally ill. I’m using crazy/bananas loosely, not as a medical diagnosis FFS.

I said she’s a racist. (BTW, everyone is. Everyone has a bias. Everyone including people of color. The difference between good people and bad people is good people check their racism/bias and catch themselves before acting out.)

I just think it’s weird that anyone would believe this obviously entitled, aggressive woman would have acted nicely/normally with a white person. I mean, we have video evidence that she is prone to aggression.

The pp by the Asian-American confirms that some people really believe all white people get along and treat each other with respect. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, they don’t.

I believe this falls under the umbrella of “Bit$hes be trippin’. Crazy aggression transcends race.

Again (since you can’t see past your singular fixation): I am not defending her. Rather, I’m dispelling the myth that she would have treated any other critic better. Had it been a white woman, I bet she would have called her a C and possibly physically attacked her. Have you ever watched any of the Real Housewives shows? Heck, the Family Guy did a segment on this sort of thing with women brawling at a baseball game.

Girl, sit down.

You are completely missing it. You keep using the red herring, she is crazy and would do this to anybody.

But she would NOT have called the cops on ANYBODY!

Just stop and try to learn.

Thank you! I've been thinking about this too much during the last day. Every long-winded thought I've had basically boils down to this.

Asking her to follow the law IS NOT BAIT. It's seriously nauseating the number of posters who have openly expressed the idea that this black man CAUSED her racism by speaking up. What is wrong with you people???

Whoa! Not saying that at all. She is a racist. No question about that at all. And she acted like a lunatic when she could have just leashed the dog and walked away. But he did bait her; not by asking her to leash the dog. He baited her during the subsequent exchange. But to be clear, it doesn't matter that he baited her. I'm glad he did it and exposed her.

That is what you're saying. Telling someone if you're going to do that, you're not going to like what I do, is not bait for murder-by-cop. Was he trying to get her to listen to him, absolutely! Bait implies that he orchestrated a situation intended to trap her. She wasn't trapped. He didn't orchestrate the situation. He didn't post signs saying the unleash your dogs, then feign ignorance and hide behind a leash law. He informed her of the law, asked her to follow it, made a vague tit for tat threat that we have all made, and started recording her because otherwise his story would not be believed.

I am an Asian-American, and I am thinking that telling someone to follow the rules is not baiting them. In our school, entitled parents whose kids misbehave in classrooms don't like when the teachers tell their kids to follow the rule. The teachers are not baiting the misbehaving kids but the parents find it inappropriate.

But, see - I am from a culture where rule following is instilled in us so that society does not descend into chaos.

Can someone clue me into the mindset of this White woman that she found it unbearable to take directions from a Black man? I feel that if a burly White man would have told her to leash her dog, she would have. I feel even if a puny White man would have told her to leash the dog she would have.

Am I having an epiphany here?

the bait thing is because of what he said about her dog. "you won't like i[what I'm going to do to your dog]" or something like that. The exchange is on his tweet. And I guess the filming her was also part of the bait. He did it, but that does not excuse her behavior.

If he threatened her dog, then isn’t it normal to be frightened?

Forget what happens before or after the threat. Isn’t the threat alone reasonable to prompt fear?

A normal person would have grabbed the dog and left.

An aggressive crazy person stays and escalates the situation with the stranger threatening your dog.

She is not crazy aggressive. Ask the White men who she works with. Ask her professors at Booth. I bet she is very compliant and subservient with them. She acted aggressive because she was in position of power over this man because of her race and her gender. White men and law enforcement would swoop in and kill a Black man for defiling a White woman and she knew it. So she used that against this man.

Just her extreme bad luck that this Black man was a Harvard grad with a good job etc, and that he was able to videotape her. That she acted in a pattern that has worked for her before, in spite of being recorded is extremely telling. In her anger she was unable to act in the right manner to get this Black man get killed or punished for the duration of the videotape. Of course in front of the cops she switched on the acting, but forgot to act like that for the video.

I don't view this as a situation where there are two sides. She is a racist and awful (including in the way she seemed to be pulling and strangling the dog). It was a little odd of him to try to give the dog a treat, even if she was breaking the leash law, but I don't think he's required to be perfect to avoid that level of crazy, horrible, racist treatment.

Yes. Her reaction is one of anger, not fear. "How dare you, lower life form, tell ME what to do?"

Yet in this incident she went straight to weaponizing his race and gender against him. There is a long history of black men being killed after being accused by white women and she knew it. That's why she was specific in telling HIM that when she called the police she would tell them he's black. She reminded him of his race as a warning that she was going to weaponize it against him if he didn't mind his place.

Yes! +100000

I wonder when we’ll hear more about that woman. Maybe co-workers , neighbors and friends speaking out?

NYC's Commission on Human Rights has launched an investigation. According to the article in the NY Daily News on 5/27, "[t]he agency, which is mandated to fight discrimination in the five boroughs, announced their probe late Tuesday and has sent a letter to ["Karen"] asking her to cooperate with their investigation.'.

^^^^ Exactly

She wasn't going to say " bird watcher is threatening me" because she know the police would take his side.

She said an "African American man" because she knew has power over him to make cops "take her side" and threaten his life and liberty.
