That bitch got what she deserved. All she had to do was to call her pooch and put the leash on him.
She overreacted and he's an ass.
Agreed. I used to let my previous dog run free - she was far more obedient than my current rascal. however, if someone said “this is not a place to set them free - that’s the rules” I’d apologize and move on.
Off hand, based on available information, I’d say this is a genuine case of true racism. Coming from where else? A lefty woman in lefty paradise.
My wife bird watches. It’s really fun to see the different birds and some of the beautiful color combinations. She’s always pointing them out. And as for unleashed dogs, two came into our yard a few months back and started to destroy property, including a screen door when they tried to get in. From that perspective, it’s easy to take the birdwatcher’s side in this case. He was bothering no one, but the dog was.
I’m glad this leftist bitch lost her job. I hope the birdwatcher sues her.
The last time The Rambles was in the news, it was for gay sex.
I saw one person write that this is what happens when Karen’s meet in the park. Passive-aggressive on steroids.
Leash Police Officer, C. Cooper, who was in no way threatened or in any danger, decided to punish a Leash Violator by threatening to poison her dog, and then starting to feed her dog. He could have called the police and reported her, but he decided to use the threat of violence.
Leash Police Officer, C. Cooper, knowing that he was about to permanently destroy the life of a person who was reacting to his threat of poisoning her dog, then proceeded to destroy her life to teach her a lesson about disobeying his Leash Police Authoritay.
And then the Leash Police Officer and poison-threatener basked in the glow of destroying a person’s life over a trivial, meaningless incident, from which he could have walked away before it even began, to no one’s harm.
And millions upon millions of outraged Leash Police Officers unleashed their inner stone thrower, because destroying the life of a person who committed and trivial and meaningless offense is so satisfying.
Ms. Charen is lying.
More information could change the picture, but to best information so far:
Eric Garner violently attacked the police, when they arrested him for a minor crime which he was repeatedly committing. The stress of the fight he started triggered a fatal heart attack. His death was entirely his own fault.
Ahmaud Arbery had gone past the McMichaels, turned, charged them, punched one, and tried to wrestle his shotgun away from him. This was all recorded. Punching people and taking their stuff are crimes, unless there is a positive reason for them. So far, no one has found any such reason. Arbery was violent criminal. Attacking two men with guns, when you are unarmed (until he was wrestling for McMichael’s gun, at which point both are considered armed, I’m told), is nuts, besides being criminal. To best information so far, Arbery was the only wrongdoer here, and his death was his own fault.
Mr. Cooper had, in fact, threatened both Ms. Cooper and her dog. For her to report to the police that she was being threatened, was exactly correct. Describing a black man as a black man, when reporting something to the police, was the right thing to do. The police should get descriptions when you’re reporting something to them, to help an officer identify the people involved, when he arrives. Both Coopers were in the wrong: She for allowing her dog to run without a leash, he for threatening her. But calling the police, and reporting the threat, was not wrong. Ms. Charen wrote “There was zero reason to tell the dispatcher that the man was African American.” Ms. Charen was not just wrong, her claim is stupid. Descriptions are appropriate when complaining of threats.
Of this list, only George Floyd was wronged. He attacked the police, and was in the wrong, but nothing he did remotely justified them strangling and killing him. But there is still zero evidence of racism here. If I knew that the police would not do that to a white man who attacked them, there would be, but I don’t know that. To claim racism here is an unjustified speculation. It’s a reasonable speculation, but to claim it is proven, when there is no evidence for it, is lying.
Ms. Charen overall thesis is a condemnation of white racism—which, so far, exists entirely in her own head. The incidents she cites as examples, do not show any such thing.
The black gay birder is out hassling white women. He is the real racist who started this racial incident. Retired btw, with too much time on his hands, so he becomes the premier nuisance of central park
F him he ruined this woman’s life when he uploaded the video that got 6 million hits. This made his fame shoot into the stratosphere for the black twitter mobs.
The woman acted hysterically. There was no reason to call the police. She was totally wrong. She deserves some kind of penalty for calling the police needlessly. But to have her life ruined for this? fired, branded racist and lost the dog!
In the current political climate, anything a White does that interacts with a non-White is going to be called racist. There are going to be thousands of Whites sacrificed on the altar of political correctness, with their lives ruined.
Karens gotta Karen!
Another explanation? — She was not racist, but, like the typical Manhattanite, she believed the police are racist. So she thought she’d get back at that black guy who was supposedly threatening her dog by calling the cops on him.
I have read elsewhere that Amy Cooper was a Dem based on political contributions.
If she called the police for help and didn’t identify his race, all would be okay? Simply adding a fact not in dispute caused her firing?
This video made the national news. Dozens of graphic videos of blacks being violently racist against whites are filmed but NONE make the national news.
Why the double standard?
Because the numerous examples of black on white violence far in excess of this non violent video would debunk the “liberal” narrative that only whites can be racist.
The woman is a jerk for not immediately leashing her dog. The woman is a jerk for translating his threat that she wouldn’t like what he did to the threat that she reported to police.
The man is a jerk for carrying dog treats to attract dogs that he doesn’t like as a means of intimidating their owners. The man is a jerk for posting the video or allowing it to be posted.
To paraphrase Mercutio: “A plague on both their houses!”
… cellphone videos are grim reminders that old-fashioned white racism continues to have deadly consequences. Eric Garner. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd
Really, what was the reason to ascribing gender to “him” at all? Seems pretty sexist there as well.
Let's get real here...
I pay high taxes so the police can babysit the black community?
Then when WE need the cops to stop our cities from burning they play stupid and roll over for the thugs?
Gimme a break.
Ninety percent of most police budgets are allocated to 'black community' concerns.
So I pay all this damn money and when the mob starts burning down cities the cops ARE NOT THERE TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS WHO PAY THEIR DAMN SALARIES.
What the hell am I paying for? Nothing. Let the black community protect themselves. I'm sick of paying for nothing. If my city burns, my home is attacked, the stores I shop at are destroyed, the damn 'cops' will be afraid to arrest the thugs because they're more afraid of being called 'racist'? They let my city burn because they're afraid to arrest thugs? I'm NOT paying for that crap.
Disband the cops...
Decent people already have home security systems because the cops don't protect us. We pay for court systems that exists to be soft on criminals. And now the effing system we pay for allows our cities to burn?
NO MORE COPS. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.
