[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is probably having a mental breakdown with fear of the pandemic, hence why she got the dog, probably for protection.  I had friends in NYC, PTSD is a thing, nonstop ambuolances, the refrigerated morgues on the street.

I mean, she is vile, don’t get me wrong, the gentleman was so measured, but clearly she was unhinged.[/quote]

He was setting her up for this to happen and wanted his 5 minutes of fame which he got.  There was no reason to record her.  There was no reason to provoke her.  She may have been raped or attacked in the past which caused her to panic.  Both were wrong.[/quote]

Really - that is your takeaway?[/quote]

She wasn't near anyone in an open area.  He pulled out his phone to yell at her and provke a reaction that he could post on social media.[/quote]

This. And creepy that he had dog treats but no dog. [/quote]

Here’s his explanation for why he was carrying dog treats.

“They were in a part of the park called the Ramble, where dogs are supposed to be on a leash, and Cooper said the dog was running loose and tearing through plants.

"I said to the young woman I said, 'Dogs in the ramble have to be on their leash at all times,'" Cooper said.

That's when he said he used treats to try and lure the dog away from some plant beds just before he began recording.

When the woman began to argue with him, Cooper started to record her on his phone, and that's when she called police.

"They don't like it when you feed their dog treats. And she didn't like that at all. And she immediately grabbed the dog as you can see from the video and started hauling it around by its collar," Cooper said.

Apparently he’s an avid birdwatcher and goes to that spot often. It seems like he’s encountered off-leash dogs there before and comes prepared with dog treats.

Again, taking this as fact, which sounds reasonable, its no ok you feed a dog treats without the owners permission.  Anyone can misinterpret that but looking at the video he was not close to her or the dog nor was anyone else.  At that point, she said no, he should have walked away and reported it to the police non-emergency number instead of playing police.  He is not in a position of authority.   Maybe the dog is allergic to some treats.  That's like someone walking up to your child and saying here's a treat.  Neither would be ok.  She felt threatened when he approached the dog and more threatened when he started offering treats (assuming this is an accurate account).  He simply should have walked away and called the police to ask her to put the dog on a leash.

And, after all that, why send it to his sister who he knew would put it on social media.  It sounds like this is something he/they regularly do and they were looking for their fame.  They got it.  Congrat's to them.

They were both wrong.  She should have had the dog on the leash.   He should have asked nicely and if she said no, walk away and if it bothered him that much let the police deal with it which is their job, not his.

She was appropriate to grab the dog away from him at any means as she didn't know his intentions including taking the dog from her.  She was right if he was coming at them to call the police.  She was right to call the police when he was provoking her and recording her.  HE should have called the police and never let this escalate. [/quote]
