There was no reason for him to approach her and video it so he was setting up the situation and zero respect for him. She handled it very badly but has a right to feel threatened by recording her.
Recording someone is not a threat. Maybe just a threat when a black man does it?
According to his own post, he told her "Look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it." Then he produced a dog treat -- because apparently he walks around with dog treats "I carry for such intransigence" and called for her dog to come to him.
I do believe she grossly overreacted and should not have had the dog offleash, let alone called the police and told them she feared a black man.. However, I also believe this man may have a chip on his shoulder and went looking for trouble. And I "I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it" could clearly be perceived as a threat and calling over the dog could be perceived as either an attempt to abduct or poison the animal.
I also believe that the people on Twitter whose first reactions were to dox her and post where she is employed and call on Twitter to "do your thing" to get her fired (she has been placed on administrative leave" is a disgusting form of mob justice and if this lady would be justified in suing the hell out of anyone who encouraged that. I would.
You aren’t serious. I hope.

There are lots of crazy people in New York and someone trying to give your dog a treat or threatening to do something you’re not going to like is a threat and she responded inappropriately may be over the top but she was threatened and react accordingly calling her Karen doesn’t help the race division in this country either it would be like calling every black male perpetrator a Jamal or every black female perpetrator Lakisha it’s wrong. Maybe we should all focus on unity not division maybe this pandemic is way bigger than race and destroying our country and maybe we all need to band together instead of acting like idiots

Maybe we need to use sentences and periods.
