[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I agree she was 100% responsible , and I am not trying to shift the blame, but I’m curious - why did he have treats?  Is this a routine thing that he encounters dogs off leash in the ramble and asking them to be leashed doesn’t work?[/quote]

Yes. And many people who seem confused by this would apparently prefer: That he carry pepper spray? That the unleashed dogs ruin the protected bird sanctuary area? That something, SOMETHING must be a clear sign of problematic behavior and ill intent in a soft-spoken, Harvard educated, pleasantly nerdy, middle aged birdwatcher?  I bet most people who read that description— without also reading “African American — would have viewed  the dog treat solution as being both ingenious and commendable. [/quote]

How on earth is having treats to deal with off leash dogs weird or a threat in any possible way?! WTF?

It's a threat when someone says something like 'you're not going to like this' to the owner and then calls the animal toward them. How is that not clear? Note that it's completely separate from the fact that this woman is a racist and put this man in great harm with her actions. But what he said was creepy. [/quote]

She felt threatened as he was threatening her and his actions were basically to take her dog via treats.  She was racist in how she handled the call but she was in every right to call the police as he was acting in a threatening manner by calling her dog over and escalating it with videoing her.  He set hit up for his sister.  His sister is nobody who needed the publicity in the tv industry who likes to sensationalize things.  And, that she did.  Most normal people would walk away on both ends.  As a woman, I would walk away and if he followed I would call the police.  If he didn't like the dog off the leash he could have called and let them handle it.  As a man, you do not approach a woman in an empty area and offer her dog treats without her consent.  Both were wrong on many levels.[/quote]

THANK YOU! The hatred for this woman astonishes me. Yes she was in the wrong with her little dog off the leash. Geez. [/quote]

+2. And someone’s going to have to explain to me why she’s a racist for simply describing the guys race to the police.  She obviously went a bit nuts and overreacted but I can’t climb into someone else’s mind and determine the level of threat she felt, even if it was misconstrued.[/quote

- If you can explain to me how you've managed to make it through this week, let alone life, without recognizing that African American males are treated very differently by police compared to, say, other American males, I'd be glad to explain to you how Ms Cooper's realized threat, repeatedly belting out the phrase "African American" is correctly seen as "racist" vs as a simple description.  I'm sure you noticed that she didn't describe Mr Cooper's clothing, or height, or any other distinguishing characteristics that could be used to identify him. She taunted him with what she was going to do and say -- and she did it.  I bet you know that already though.  And I bet you haven't bothered to "climb into someone else's mind and determine the level of threat" that HE felt -- when Ms Cooper threatened HIM by weaponizing the NYPD.[/quote]
