Seems like every day there is another one of these stories...
 
They took her dog away from her. lol



Why do some people, cops included, get so anxious around black men?

Maybe we can all do some soul searching.

Once the veil is removed, we are starting to see the true racism of white America. Racism against blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. It kind of makes you wonder, do whites view minorities as expendable.
 
Well, this is the kind of stupid you get when people believe that the world revolves around them and any intrusion into that world is a threat to their very survival.

Her first response to having her world invaded was to call the government to save her. Go figure.
 
She surrendered her dog AND was fired from her job. Good.

This probably can be used as a teachable moment involving race although I have no idea why she was choking the dog.

She claims that she was scared the guy was trying to feed the dog poison treats.
 
I heard he burglarized a construction site.
 
Glad the dog is away from her. She clearly was too high strung to be dealing with it. Reminded me of those women who are always smacking their kids in public.
 
I heard he's a Harvard grad and a senior biomedical editor at Health Science Communications.
 
Yep. Lost her dog, and perhaps her job. Karma's a bitch!

Have you seen him? He's just the nicest looking kid. Like he would put a spider on a handkerchief and put it outside instead of smooshing it.

~ snip ~ Amy Cooper was terminated “effective immediately” on Tuesday from her job at investment firm Franklin Templeton, following a storm of criticism over a video posted online that showed Cooper calling the police on a black man who asked her to keep her dog leashed in Central Park. ~ snip ~

Whoa! Works at Franklin, and lives near the park? She might have lost a solid gig! And now she might be blacklisted in the industry.

She was VP of Investment Solutions. Solid gig.

Bet she can't live near the park anymore. :shrug:

Whoa! Beyond solid! Damn, she really hurt herself big-time.
 
I can't stand people who don't leash their dog. The woman is a hysteric, end of story.

When I first saw the video, I was wondering why she was being so mean to the dog. I couldn't believe how she was slinging him around. Told my daughter that dogs are generally exceptional judges of character.

She about killed that poor dog. Watching that video was hard. What a high strung loony.

Yeah, took me a bit to load a video. Seeing that poor thing made me want to reach out and take it away from her. People like that drive me crazy.

It's OK. The rescue group she got the dog from took him away from her.

Can you imagine how she treated him at home? :( :(

I can't bring myself to pity her. Not even a little bit.

In fact, I'm at the "point and laugh" stage.

Yeah, I hear ya'. But wow, that's harsh it. What the hell was she thinking, to say those things when she knew he was filming her? I mean, she even exclaimed that he was filming!

:doh
 
Maybe he was trying to poison the dog, offering a piece of his big, soft and chewy NY pretzel? What, with all that salt?

That's why I share my plain bagels with Dog. No salt. Dog prefers his with a shmear of cream cheese. Hold the scallions, they give him gas. Amazing how fast my wife can open a window frozen shut when its 30 below. Dog has a talent for emptying a crowded elevator.

Poor woman, so young to be suffering from hemorrhoids. Anal despair manifests in Karenhood. Who woulda thunk?

That’s what I told my daughter - it made no sense. She knew he was filming and she knew the police would see his video.
