[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that this thread is 87 pages long and is being dominated by people who are offended that a white woman got in trouble for a taped interaction with a black man during which she called the cops on the black man, but there are only 51 pages on the "I can't breathe" thread about George Floyd, a black man who was actually killed by a cop.

The Amy Cooper incident has really triggered the non-liberals on this thread. It truly is fascinating. The whole taped interaction has been dissected to death on this thread with the right-wingers heavily invested in denying that Amy was using any white privilege and stating or implying that the black birdwatcher was the problem.

Even the poor dog, that was so clearly mistreated that it was RECLAIMED by the rescue she got him from, apparently was "uncomfortable" and "only choking for 3-4 seconds" according to conservatives. Fox News has rewired your brains or something. I can't think of another explanation. [/quote]

I am very liberal and I think they were both wrong but he clearly set up this situation and was looking to provoke her.  He did and was successfully in his plan to ruin her life.  Congrats to him.  Instead of walking away and finding another spot, he engaged her and provoked her until she snapped.  They were in an isolated area and she was clearly scared of him.  She was wrong in her racist statements but she was right to call the police and ask him to stop recording her.  Where is the rest of the video of the interactions before and after.... he only shared a small part.

He was trying to take her dog.  He was clear he called over the dog AND offered the dog treats so she was trying to prevent him from taking the dog.  She was not intentionally choking him.  Would you let your dog or child go to a stranger provoking and recording you?  Of course not.  [/quote]

I agree with you, but I'm a conservative. Well, I'm actually a moderate who these days considers myself a conservative because the left went so far. But it does seem like you're on the wrong side  :wink:

I think she was more wrong than he was, though, both for the dog off leash and the specific references to his race in her threats, even though he clearly had a chip on his shoulder.  Neither of them were behaving like well adjusted people.[/quote]

There was zero excuse for the racist remarks but his behavior was not appropriate either and it very much looked like he was looking for a fight.  One or both should have acted like grown ups and when he didn't get what he wanted walk away or if she was threatened get on her phone to have someone on the line and walk away.  Why he had to pull out his phone and engage or why she had to engage, I don't get.  But, him admitting to trying to call the dog over and offering the dog treats without her consent is pretty telling given he has clearly done this before.  If this was a child, would we be ok with him calling over a child for treats?  Central Park is pretty big.  There was plenty of space for both of them.  He just insisted he have her spot and she wasn't welcome there with her dog.  Even if that dog was on a leash he probably would have wanted it gone as it bothered his birds.  He should have equal employment and social consequences. [/quote]
