Social media does not equal reality.
Does messed up stuff happen? Yes.
Most of the people posting crazy stuff like this have an agenda (no life too), so dont take them too seriously.
I really don't think this guy had an agenda. He also has a life and is a Harvard graduate. One of his hobbies is bird watching which is why he was in the park that day. He did not post the video his sister did.

$5 says she's one of those, "I want to speak to your manager" bullies who is constantly flexing her implicit authority.
Backfired this time.

I mean, she is vile, don’t get me wrong, the gentleman was so measured, but clearly she was unhinged.
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.
Really - that is your takeaway?
Recording someone isn't provocation or threatening.
And he didn't post the recording - so what 5 minutes of fame?
Just admit she was wrong and tried to get a bird watcher shot by the police for asking her to politely LEASH HER DOG.
Yes, it is provoking and setting someone up by recording them. You don't record people without permission.
You don't need permission to record anyone, including police, on public grounds. Shut up.
You lose all credibility when you are trashy.
Oh, well then - case closed! Since PP told you to shut up, then it’s okay for this woman to have made a false report to police in order to have this guy arrested or shot. Phew, thanks for clearing that up.

Are you on crack? He said that he is constantly telling people to leash their dogs and that they mess up the natural bramble. How is he wrong? Seriously? You need help.

It is interesting to think how race affects all of these situations. I am a white woman. I am always wary of complaining and being labeled the next Karen and being posted on social media.
For example, I would be nervous to tell someone to leash their dog, especially if it was a person of color, because I don’t want to be publicized as one of those white women who gets in other peoples business. So I would be leery of even starting that situation as the man did. Now, I don’t think he is in the wrong. I get frustrated in situations like these when people are not respecting others right to public space, but as a white woman with all of the social media posts I stay clear
You aren't a Karen for asking someone to leash their dog IF that dog is scaring you or if their behavior is otherwise affecting you. You become a Karen when your complainst are simply you flexing your white privilege. When you complain to someone in authority about something that has nothing to do with you and isn't affecting you in any way.
So before you appeal to authority, ask yourself why you're doing it. Is someone actually in danger or being seriously inconvenienced, or are you simply offended by someone not abiding by the rules as you see them?
Asking someone to leash their dog in accordance with the posted rules of the park is perfectly reasonable. Calling the cops because someone asked you to follow the posted rules of the park is not.

I'm not so sure they wouldn't call the police, but it might depend on what was said before the video started. He may have said things that weren't recorded.
Or, maybe she is a racist. And, maybe you should stop trying to justify her behavior.

Of course, they both said things before the video started. However, she is the one who has issued a groveling public apology, so I think we can take his word for how things went down.

she would have avoided all of this if she had obeyed the law to begin with.
Yes, she needs to stop with the "I was in a secluded area and felt unsafe." Don't go in secluded areas of a park if you are afraid of encountering other park users.
She chose to walk there
She chose to unleash her dog
She escalated the situation by refusing to obey the law
She continued escalating the situation by approaching him despite his requests that she keep back
She called the police and filed a false report

Now, I'm not a lunatic nor a racist nor someone who would make up an unhinged lie to police nor an animal abuser. She is all of those things. That is totally on her.
But from personal experience -- being filmed by a stranger in public is not cool even if perfectly legal.
The sad part is, this is what minorities, particularly black men have to do! Haven’t you been listening to the news? How many times are black men arrested and even killed because people claim they were doing something wrong. If you can’t see that this is what our society has become and this is the only way these men can protect themselves then you are part of the problem!
