[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story has been bothering me. First I feel fury over unleashed dogs and the behavior of a. Cooper behavior sounds awful. However, it also seems like C Cooper was spoiling for a fight. Sounds like the guy is sick and tired of it and has developed his own tactics that leave a lot to be desired. For example, saying “you won’t like what I’m going to do” while trying to call the dog away from her, was clearly designed to upset or even frighten. He says as much in his post. I do wonder if this guy would have behaved the same way to another large guy in the park or if A Cooper seemed like a safe enough target for his lesson. Either way he scolds her, she ignores him, he persists, she does too, then the next thing you know he’s making a weird threat that I would definitely think was basically “I’ll give your dog treats to get it to me then steal it”. I mean, again he posts himself that he carried treats for that very reason, basically that dog owners freak out and leash the dog. So as a PP said, it was only a matter of time until someone reacted poorly. So this woman then proceeds to show her true colors and leverage the “scary black man” / while woman power play. Weather frightened or not, she did that, and it’s hard to believe she was that frightened if she was walking toward him at one point (with her dog at hand) and also not running like hell to get away. I think she was outraged that he scolded her and fearful that he was going to dog-nap her dog. Then there is the mob justice and doxxing her, which I don’t like for any reason but here it happened without even acknowledging that maybe — just maybe — this bird watcher was being an asshole and then she saw his asshole and raised it by an awful, racist and dangerous response. Someone else might have just punched him in the face. Countless others no doubt walked or ran away in the past. I’m not sure what anyone had gained through this story though. Then his sister using the term “Karen” which is just divisive - intentionally so.

I can’t find any heroes in this story. [/quote]

You are also a White person who is struggling to reconcile your racist wiring with the evidence of the video.  How do you sleep at night?[/quote]

NP - I don't understand why disagreeing with his tactics makes someone racist.  It is not dismissing her behavior in anyway.[/quote]

NP- It doesn’t necessarily, but if you don’t recognize at least the possibility that : if Mr Cooper had been a middle aged charmingly nerdy white birder who asked Ms Cooper to leash her dog, her response would probably have been extremely different, you’re dismissing the reality of the racism that many of us have to negotiate every time we step outdoors.  [/quote]

OK, but the point PP is making is that this guy was not charmingly nerdy, he was geared up for a fight. The outcome may have been very different if he was charmingly nerdy. C Cooper thought A Cooper was a safe enough target for a lesson, and A Cooper thought he was a safe enough target to fight back by threatening the power of the state. [/quote]

And the point that I am making is the strong likelihood that if Ms Cooper had not been a racist entitled harpy, she would have recognized that
 Mr Cooper — a fricking BIRDER —  is, indeed, charmingly nerdy. Which is likely why she felt empowered to run towards him — rather than, say, back away to someplace safe, as she attempted to use her power to weaponize the NYPD.

I’m sorry, what makes you think he is “charming”? Don’t assume all black male gay educated birdwatchers are sweethearts. They are just as capable of being assholes as straight white male uneducated birdwatchers. This guy, by his own admission, was itching to teach her and her fellow scofflaw dog owners a lesson. He assumed in some respect that his “male privilege” was going to let him get away with it and wasn’t expecting her to use his race against him. [/quote]

I'm going to blow minds here because I have a whole other (non-racist) stereotype of Mr. Cooper in my mind.  I'm picturing him as a harpy, can't wait to prove he's on the right side, nit-picky little biatch.  White, black, green, these people bring out the worst in any target because they get off on making sure everyone follows the rules and because they're right, there's really no way to argue with them.  (Which yes, I agree, at the very end of buts, what abouts, ifs, etc. is true...the person breaking the rule is the one in the wrong.)  I know, because I used to be this annoying person.[/quote]

Not crazy about so much blue here but ...
I had the same feeling about Mr Cooper myself. He was so quick to escalate and so eager to film and post it. I think he just wanted her out of “his area”. Two biotches meet. [/quote]

What kid of maniac without a dog brings dog treats to a park to lure dogs?  He was baiting people into this sort of reaction.  F the both of those weirdos.[/quote]

Ups drivers... fedex drivers[/quote]

You understand they carry treats to safely deliver packages, not lure random dogs?[/quote]
