Pretty sure they wouldn't respond by calling the police and pretending to be physically threatened.
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.
Like it or not, some of us will withhold judgment in a situation where we're being served up a woman to condemn based on an incomplete version of an event.
And of course she was the one to apologize because she had already quickly been doxxed and publicly threatened.
But it is good to know that the next time I see a minority committing any similar infraction, as I have many times in the past, I can instruct them how to behave - as Birdwatcher Kevin did here - secure in the knowledge that no one will ever give a white person grief for instructing minorities on expected laws and social norms in parks and other public venues.

Which part of the above makes him a threat to her? If the issue is him being a man, why did you mention his race? If the issue is his race, how are your assumptions about the inherent threat posed by a Black man not racist, and steeped in historical characterizations of Black men as superpredators?
DP. It’s prejudice, not racism.....learn the difference. And yeah, people do pre-judge black men as having a higher threat profile because black men make up 6% of the population and commit over 50% of violent crimes. So while it’s certainly not fair it is understandable.

Anonymous wrote:What people are also ignoring:
1) He thought he was the police and could enforce the law. What he should have done is called the police if it was so important.
2) He was luring dogs with treats (like he always does) and vaguely implied he would "do something she didn't like". He used the word "do", not "give", which implied he was using the treat to lure the dog so he could "do" something else to it. Giving treats to dogs is not a threat.
3) He wasn't wearing a mask, she was.
4) He called her a Karen, so in his heart he is likely as racist as she is.
5) He video-taped only her reaction, not his initial words. There's no telling what he said initially, aside from what he says in his Facebook post. It's against the law to record someone in NY without the second person's permission. She could rightfully sue him, not only for illegal wiretapping/recording, but for libel. He has ruined her life.
6) Luring dogs with treats does not solve the leash problem, so it is highly unlikely that he was threatening to give her dog treats. It is more probably that he wanted her to think that he was going to poison her dog, or take her dog.
7) If this was a white male, the media and court of public opinion would be on her side. A white male would have been seen as "mansplaining" the law to her, and threatening to hurt her dog.
