[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 have a really neat idea! Why don’t you go back and support each one of the assertions you’ve made with actual data? Maybe start with the one about how there’s a longer video out there. How do you know this? Have you seen it? Can you provide a link?  Otherwise you’re just repeating things that you’re fabricating — for whatever reasons.  How about some sort of data to support every time you used the words “clear” and “clearly”?  Hint:Most things that are as “clear” as you seem to see them wouldn’t rack up 90 pages of comments.

Hmmmm. Lots of unsubstantiated black and white assertions, insistence on “rights” and “wrongs”, and starting off your comment by introducing your supposed political persuasion when the topic really isn’t a political one at all.  Are you SURE you’re “very liberal”?

All we have is his statements which were concerning about his actions and the short video.  I would like to see the before and after and if anyone was a witness to hear from them.  Everyone is jumping to judgement from a short video and his statement and there is clearly more to this story.  You can just look at a short video and pass judgement but I will not.  I want to really know what was said between them and not just his version.  He made himself look to be a good guy but a good guy doesn't harass a women in a park because he didn't get what he wants.  He doesn't carry dog treats and call over a dog if he was not looking for drama.  Why did he call the dog over and offer treats?  What was his plan with that dog?  There are too many questions not answered.  You don't at all want to see what happened before and after in the video that wasn't shown?  Why?  Its easier to scream and blame her.  What if more videos come out showing the entire incident?[/quote]

Let me try this again: Can you —or anyone — substantiate the assertion that there even IS a longer video?  If not, all they”what if’s” and speculations are just imaginative projections at best.  [/quote]

We don't know if there is or is not.  He isn't showing it.  And, all we have is his account of what happened.  There are no witnesses and she has not made a statement of what happened, only an apology.  But, if you look at his statement, there are several red flags of his behaviors that are concerning.  It isn't good judgement for a man to approach a woman in a park, especially if no one else is around and then get into an altercation with her.  He clearly set it up as he stated he called her dog over and offered it treats.  That dog was reacting to him calling the dog over and offering treats.  She was preventing him from taking her dog.

If this were a child, would you be ok with a stranger calling over the child and offering it treats?[/quote]

So, you’ve made up your own version of reality where there’s a longer video containing information that is somehow being suppressed, and you’re instant on shifting the conversation from what actually happened to hypotheticals about children.  Mmmmmmkay. [/quote]
