Christian Cooper on being racially targeted while birdwatching in Central Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2020
- Christian Cooper was birdwatching in New York’s Central Park when he encountered a woman whose dog was loose. He says he politely asked her to leash the animal, but she became agitated. As he filmed her reaction, the woman called police and told them: “There is an African American man. I am in Central Park. He is recording me and threatening me and my dog.” Cooper and his sister believe the woman was using Christian’s race to get the police to respond.

A Black Harvard-educated Science Editor who loves birding. He's amazing! Glad he's still alive.
The fact that you had to say “Glad he’s still alive” speaks volumes to the danger black people face from imminent dangers like Amy Cooper no matter how educated they are.
He shouldn’t have to be all of that to be respected as a black man.
Im am to Roger !!
Christian Cooper is full of forgiveness and that's the Yeshua HaMashiach's spirit
and she also was choking her own dog!! 🤦🏼♂️
It's heartbreaking what he said about the small nerdy glasses, because it's true.
Yes. I had a friend in medical school who told me that when ever he walked the streets, he always walked with his bookbag and glasses so police would know he was a student.
are u sure about that
@@anonymousplayer8174 Yes
@@anonymousplayer8174yup
She was abusing her dog with that leash while on the phone with the cops. She should be arrested for animal abuse.
Her dog was taken away from her by the rescue she got it from but they ended up returning it :(
Katrina B wow. Inexcusable. She should also be in prison for her racist actions and making a false police report.
@@efilwv1635 I agree. Right now there's a bill that's being introduced after her, that makes it a hate crime and increases the penalty for making false accusations based on race/gender/religion
@dsndicmsa Nice try idiot, he never made any threatening comments.
She should be arrested for being who she is.
Karma struck. She lost her job and her dog that she unknowingly was choking during the whole video.
She lost her job. But, she did not lose her dog. It was returned to her.
therocketgirlchannel,
Was Chris Cooper threatening her, as she so emotionally stated in her call to the police station? Was that a truthful statement? Was that an honorable action? What do you think Amy Cooper expected the police to do once they arrived on the scene, after a statement like that? Who asked whom (politely) not to come close? Would it have been okay for Chris Cooper to be abused by police who were misinformed about his actions?
@therocketgirlchannel Please, watch the video again, very carefully.
@therocketgirlchannel Just acknowledge you were wrong and call it a day.
Sadly, she was able to get the poor thing back. She shouldn’t be permitted to own a goldfish.
She couldn’t take the fact that a black man was telling her what to do ..or suggesting rather.
"Suggesting" by literally threatening her dog.
ApplachiaMarv what
It’s yo Boi right!! 😂 no worries it’s been removed
He need too mind his business
@Roman Silent Empire white women Bow down to black men, she not supposed to open her mouth to a black man nd stay in her place
I hate when they refer to Emmet Till as a "black man" who whistled at a white woman. He was a child... a child
Their parents really did a great job. They seem like wonderful people all around ❤️❤️❤️
When he took his glasses off, my heart beat out of my chest. He's the complete package! Thanks, Christian, for calling it out. Thanks to your sister for supporting u, for encouraging you to post this and for your transparency. IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE
I have to agree with you - because suddenly - when he took the glasses off - I realized despite my efforts to the contrary (I'm not even American) I harbored irrational racist prejudice I was not aware off. I saw him for a split second as more of a threat than he is obviously, despite his gentle voice and all I knew before.
@@TobiasMeinecke I think Bryan's point about taking off his glasses went over your head. He was actually complimenting him not saying he looked scary. The type of racism you described sounds dangerous, you may want to see a therapist about that.
@@joemillz10 They were confused about what Bryan was saying but on the nose about why Cooper wore glasses. And no they don't need to see a therapist to address their subconscious bias they just need to become conscious of it so they can check themselves, and that seems to be the case.
Yes! He is really handsome especially for a man nearing 60. I don't see him as a threat without his glasses though.
He looks like he doesn't like your kind
That's just despicable.
@Mike Dexter looney
@Mike Dexter He is a member of the Audubon Society and a Harvard graduate, and even if he wasn't why is this woman acting as she is?!
@Steven Farmer Interesting, Steven.
It’s rather typical. It’s been going on for generations!
3:15 is powerful and yet so sad.
it is very very sad that he have to wear glasses to look SOFT; black wearing hoodie is gangsta and white wearing is cool
Man, when he said that, it hit home for me. I’ve purchased certain frames to enhance my professional image.
@@somerslim25 exactly!
we all have to be Urkel or something
This is the same reason I wear glasses instead of contact lenses. Reactions are indeed different. Sad but True.
I'm with Christian's sister on this one, I think that at 40 years old, Amy Cooper was well aware of the implications of what she did, in fact he went as far as to warn (threaten) him about what she was going to do before she did it. Better believe that there is no particular look that a racist has, it could be, and it was in this case, a harmless looking, little white woman walking her dog!
First of all I have a Hispanic friend who looks white. His white friends doesn’t know that he is Hispanic because he is half white. Well guess what? He went over to their house and his friend (white woman) who is also an elementary school teacher say that the black kids in her class are dumb. She purposely fail them. She was laughing at their demise and bullying her own black students. When you see her in person you would not know that she’s racist. Because her father is a pastor and she’s very active in her church.
Stupid.
does it help you to understand that she previously was raped and he threatened her therapy dog.
SMH Chris has to wears those 👓 so people see him as less intimidating 😒
Wow! Christian is a Harvard educated man. They didn’t mentioned that when this news went viral.
He was also marvel editor
His level of education should not be an issue. Should a high school dropout have less rights?
So glad he has his own birding show now! Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper. Its an awesome show!
Handsome man
Exposing the Karen's of the World
Hope there is enough GB on people’s phones because there are MANY more where that cane from.
@Steven Farmer utter nonsense
Steven Farmer your are right. He started this encounter but not minding his own business. He is acting like a Karen too
@Voice in the Wilderness he's gay
I feel sorry for the dog .
I feel sorry she lost her Job for this guys blk privilege
Not only is she lying to police in an attempt to use their force as an intimidation tactic, but she’s CHOKING HER OWN DOG WITH ITS COLLAR!
3:53
The poor dog is trying to put it’s paws up to get some air! Some relief from the pressure around it’s neck!
*WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN?!?*
I don't think entitled White women should be living in NYC, an extremely multi-ethic, multicultural city. Whenever I go, I am more worried about effectively getting around than random Black people going about their business. Christian Cooper is a saint for refusing to cooperate with the prosecutor who wanted to charge the dog lady with a crime, saying that he was not interested in ruining her life and that losing her job was punishment enough. But hey, a negative event spawned a new meme so win-win.
I hope that woman is prosecuted.
Peach Brain what u sound dumb 🤣
She lost her high income job.
@Rob Kennedy Fined for wasting police time and perhaps racially motivated bullying. But she lost her job over it so her bad behaviour cost her more than she could have imagined.
Yes I agree. That's a hate crime right there - trying to destroyed someone's life because of their race. She should be charged.
YES AND THE LADY THAT ACCUSED EMMIT TILL OF WHISTLING AT HER & ALL THAT SHE CAME OUT YEARS LATER AND SAID THAT SHE LIED LOOK IT UP SO HOW BOUT YOU TELL THEM THAT GAYLE LEFT THAT FACT OUT😐
They won't let her add in that detail. It would make 'them' look worse. They must've figured it was enough with the "falsely accused" line to broadly sum it all up without having to mention said detail
It's called feeding the frenzy. Adding to the illusion. I respect Gayle King but that's hard to overlook.
So this guy is a professional activists. I get it.
Its amazing that he even has the same last name as her
Maybe her family owned his down the line, I wouldn’t be surprised by her behavior🤷🏽♀️
Was Amy Cooper holding up that sign at the end of the video?
1:20 A man made a threat to a woman smh
Call it out! I make my duty! I just did at the park. A dude (a fellow Indian West Indian) thought it OK to say "they provoke the cops" I interrupted and called him out. He admitted the racism is in him. To which he followed up by saying but racism is not in NY, right? I was like well what you just said tells me it is bro.
"I'm going to do what I'm going to do, but you're not going to like it." Yep sounds like he's totally innocent
The hypocrisy is insane. If she came up and told him how to walk his dog this comment section would be completely different.
@@sethh1943 depends if he responded by calling the police hysterically saying “help me this white women is threatening me!!!” He would definitely get some backlash if he did.
@@sethh1943 She literally threatened his life by calling the cops and lying to them. He filmed her with his phone. Are we pretending like those things are equivalent?
@@Stacey_Robinson girl…..he grabbed her dog and told her how to walk it. If I did that to ANYONE in the park here in chicago (regardless of race) it would be wrong. Acting like you’re the rule enforcer of the park would make anyone else a ‘karen.’ He could have just let the stupid woman walk by and it would have been over but instead he had to start an interaction with her and this was the result. If someone grabbed your dog at the park I would also say it’s wrong even if you didn’t have it on a leash. If the woman in the video did the same to the birder you would have a completely different opinion.
@@Stacey_Robinson you need help.
Ive completely changed my mind what happened. Christian Cooper was the first one being a Karen demanding she put her dog on a leash. Even though it was a rule of the park its no different than say permit Patty who complained about black people bbqing when they werent supposed to. He like permit Patty should of minded their own business. I dont believe he just asked her once and then she called the cops. I think he was there demanding her to put her dog on a leash.
Regardless if he was being a karen or not, the act of faking being attacked which could potentially got the guy killed is WAY WAY WORSE. Stop making excuses.
@@jimmyhyun8546 nah having your camera ready to film after being aggressive and suddenly changing tone of voice is manipulative af
@@jimmyhyun8546 He implied that he was going to abduct her dog or harm her, "If you're gonna do what you want then I'm gonna do what I want and you won't like it."
it was a nature reserve, which is the main reason why dogs aren't allowed there, kinda a danger to what's trying to be preserved there, she should have left or put it on a leash.
Slightly different though.. He was trying to protect the birds. He did the right thing..
She was scared for whatever reason.. what are we to do with wimps?? Maybe stop raising wimps and they won’t react with poor judgement
Nobody mentions how she’s like seconds from killing her dog? Poor dog….
Cooper was attempting to lure her dog with dog treats! HE was the reason the dog was squirming.
He right when he said how people respond differently to certain looks (images)!
The famous story where the word karen came from .... the beginning of the karen.
Karen is a term used as slang typically for a middle-class white woman who is perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal.[1] The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who "use their white and class privilege to demand their own way".[1][2] Depictions include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist, or wearing a particular bob cut hairstyle.[3] It was popularized in the aftermath of the Central Park birdwatching incident in 2020.[2]
The term has been considered pejorative by those who believe it is racist, sexist, ageist, classist, and controlling women's behavior.[3] The term has occasionally been applied to male behavior.[3][4]
During 2020, the term increasingly appeared in media and social media, including during the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests.[1] The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen".[5]
This was just on Newsmax. They read one of Cooper's social media posts, where he boasts about carrying dog treats to lure strangers' pets away if they're off-leash. That's NOT healthy behavior. Seriously - who does this?? He made threats about what he was going to do - and that she wouldn't like it. Then, he called her dog, "Here doggie doggie", and waved the dog treats. It was all she could do to hold onto her pet. No wonder she was terrified. The dog treats could've been laced with poison.
😂
Lmao you’re a sorry excuse for a human. As if any of what he did, makes sense for her to FALSELY accuse him while calling the police 😂 I hope enough people report your account so that it’s deleted. I know I am 😃
An old bird watchers trick is to give the unleashed dogs a treat. Thus, the dog owner would have to grab the dog and put it on a leash or allow the bird watcher to give the dog a treat!
White birdwatchers have been doing it for decades!
Love your show Christian. Just watching it for the first time. Hated what happened to you in Central Park. She was a terrible Karen!!!!!!
Has anybody actually read the real story behind this, problem not.
Which is?
@@dredvax there was no racism involved in it, it was an argument over a dog being of a lead and him trying to feed the dog treats of an unknown nature,
@@saw6386 source?
@@saw6386 lol you didn't see her weeping and calling the cops and weaponizing her white privilege?
@@sjchac ha ha, we're both white and no police we're called, being from the UK we're civilised ha ha
I went to Central Park today. While on the great lawn, doing my Kundalini Yoga, I looked up to see a yellow and red bird. I thought about you and smiled. He would know what bird that is. This is how I choose to remember you. So enthusiastic. Pure passion, knowledge and love for birds. I wish you can start a walking bird tour. That would be great. Let me know. Love you. ♡
Peach brain.... she lost what she lost bc of her actions. He wouldn’t even be sitting here today discussing this if not for her. So go on somewhere with your closed mind and negativity
Your either racists or your not there is no middle ground.
"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." - Christian Cooper before recording
Damn. I heard she surrendered the dog…she should have been arrested that day and had the dog taken from her….she is literally choking him the whole time and he was struggling to breathe. And how about charging her with making a false 911 call?
Even the dog was so embarrassed that he was trying to get away from Karen.
In his original video he admits that he was trying to coax her dog over with treata after she had said not to. He also threatens her by saying "im gonna do something youre not gonna like". Read past a headline and think for yourselves.
Honestly, I had a black man stalk me. He called me up and said that he wanted to make me pregnant. Then he would try to follow me. Then he tried to give me gifts that I didn’t appreciate. He told me if I don’t lose my virginity, I would become a lesbian. He was a nutcase because it went on for a while. I called the police, but they told me that it was nice that he was giving me gifts. I am asexual. I am a queer. If you want to challenge me, you are pitiful. This man tried to get into my personal space. Then he kept on saying that I turned into a racist. They asked me what did I do? He had a reputation of acting like a playboy. I felt like I was being treated like a sexual
The humanity that this man displays in reply to this sadly 'oh so common' happening is... I find... deeply inspiring.
He tried to lure her dog away, what is your definition of humanity?
Why this big dude feels he can feed the dog and be near the female owner is ok ????? She did not invite you .keep distance
Sizeism, not just racism. Size in certain cultures and many women-heft OR height-scares a certain population that deems itself an NYC overclass...
"an African-American men is threatening me and my dog" she says as she is CHOKING HER DOG.
She got scared after he said : "IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, I'M GOING TO DO WANT AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT"
If this man wasn’t recording on his phone this situation would’ve turned out a lot worse
@Isa probably
Sad that a black man has to put nerdy glasses to make himself look more innocent and nerdy so he doesn't seem intimidating to poor Americans around him, man it's a messed up world we live in.
Well call me Karen.
If he's so educated why is he still trying to gain acceptance from ppl who hate him? Him saying that Amy Cooper has suffered enough is a slap in the face to all the people that have supported him. Literally she can & never will suffer enough. Her loss is only temporary. Losing a job is not suffering. She'll get another 1 (white privilege). Reputation. It seems she has plenty of supporters who actually feel like he was wrong for recording her. She is a white woman. Mr Cooper you are a black man. In the eyes of society you will always be the threat. No need to feel sorry for Amy. What she did was reckless & could've cost you ur life. I seriously doubt this would've caused her to lose any sleep. The mere thought that she made the call speaks volumes as to how she values your life. Wake up. Everyone who has or becomes a victim of this type of behavior doesn't always get an opportunity to have a voice after the fact. U do. Don't waste it. Cooperate w the DA. If she needs to be the example, so be it. Maybe the next white woman who thinks it's cute to call the cops & lie will think twice. FYI: Mr Cooper no matter how educated you are, you will never be their equal in their eyes. I'm sure this is why you are refusing to cooperate. Remember U are not 1 of them. U could've died that day just 4 being black...
It wasn't until my friend pointed this out that woman could got him killed had the police believed her.
@Peach Brain she should have had her dog leashed in first place
I'm sure you're a world-class birdwatcher
Wonderful interview CBS! Christian Cooper is a bright light, and the positive message in his comic story is an example of making Lemonade out of lemons! I hope that it provides opportunities for more honest conversations that open hearts to racial equity and justice.
He took them glasses off Gayle was ready to pounce on homeboy lol.
She’s choking her dog wtf
This will never stop!!
She’s chocking the dog while lying.
This is disgraceful and I'm fricking tired of it.
Sidenote: Gayle must be doing her own makeup. Her foundation is distractingly off and her eyeshadow looks crazy.
Zebee your side note SENT me 😂
So did she go to jail or penalised for falsifying a police report? Did she get billed for the cost of dispatching the police and wasting the city's resources?
@Lex Luger, @Steven Farmer: So when she activated the emergency services and requested the presence of law enforcement officers, that action of her's did not qualify as "notifying" the coppers? That's a bit strange. (BTW had to look up this "Law And Order" that you're referring to lol. Boomer TV entertainment?)
The funny thing is they were both Karen's.....😂
But he won't testify?!
This dude is the Karen. He instigated the encounter by trying to police her on her dog. He could have just ignored it and let her walk by. If she had come up and told him how to walk his dog this comment section would be completely different. The disconnect is unreal.
Well said. So do you think the comments section is just full of bots or are people really as stupid as the comments indicate?
@@chasthanhburns123 People in general are stupid. Also, this dude set her up and he threatened her.
Look three racist idiots in a row thinking they're the one without bias. Surely more captivating than birdwatch.
PS not too smart to lie about facts and then speak about disconnected perspectives. Sounds a tadbit disingenuous.
Bingo! If you grab my dog without permission, I'm breaking your legs. If it had been a big black guy with a pit bull he would have minded his own business.
i feel bad for the dog... poor thing being choked out while she cried wolf... shoot, if i saw him bird watching in the park, i would call the police too, For being Dangerously HOT... he is a good looking man...
Most police would have laughed in Amy Coopers face because most police are not racist. The high incarceration of African-Americans has more to do with income, family structure and bad laws, not race. Crimes by poor people in cities is easier to prosecute than crimes by rich people. Income inequality and family structure, as it relates to race, is another debate. If your goal is a more homogenous prison population, then focus on inner city poverty, family structure and getting rid of stupid, non-violent laws.
Well expressed reality check for US in this adult, social responsible documentary from GMA.
To viewers of the Amy Cooper video - Please see the transcript that Mr. Cooper stated himself. Rarely has anyone been showing what happens before he starts filming. I feel that what she did was beyond awful because she brought up race. She certainly appears acist and obviously knows our society is, too! But, Mr. Cooper wasn't an innocent puppy loving/bird watching guy taken by surprise about this whole incident. I feel both she and he have had issues and past situations that lead to this culmination. She, feels privileged, yes! However, I think even if he was not black, nor a man, her attitude "at first" would have been the same. She didn't like being told where to go and thought her excuse should have been enough to satisfy anyone who objected. He, also, I suspect, has had run-ins with other people who just won't pay him the respect he deserves for stating that the other person is breaking rules and that he really wants those rules to be followed. I'm sure having a dog run around would put a damper, if not totally ruin a day of bird watching/photographing. I think he is an excellent judge of character and sensed what type of person she was.
I think she "flipped out" just before the camera started rolling and the racist words flowed out so fast and so repeatedly that she definitely was trying to get that message across, not only to the person on the other end of the call, as well as to Mr. Cooper, possibly to scare him (away.) I think Mr. Cooper was sharp enough to anticipate this! I don't think he was shocked, at all. He definitely caught a "Karen" in the middle of the act.
She realized, her own actions, got her into an awful predicament and suddenly did actually feel "fear." She surely wasn't stable. I think her treatment of her newly rescued dog, shows, she was "losing it."
If I were in her position, just the two of us there, and I had just been dismissive and rude to him, especially when he was "correct," and persistent, while I was "wrong" and stubborn-
- and then-
that Man's (or Woman's or kid's for that matter) next statement to me was - WELL THEN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, I'M GOING TO DO WANT AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT, I would definitely take notice and any braveness I had, or was pretending to have, would be gone. After asking what is "that" and he then called to my dog, saying, COME HERE PUPPY, while holding out dog treats, I would have leashed my dog and "hit the road!" - I actually would have been gone the first instant anyone let me know I was breaking the rules-
It is an odd thing for Mr. Cooper to do and say, in the least and is actually threatening at the the other extreme. Lots of things would go through my mind including the frightful possibility he was going to take or hurt my dog.
We are all lucky the police didn't get there in time because our country could have had another tragedy. There is enough truth out there to see our country needs to change dramatically; I don't think "tweaking" a situation where you can see someone is mentally breaking down, is going to do anything positive for the cause and our world. In fact, it could have the opposite effect.
The truth stands on it's own. Things are bad!!!! We have to get on the same side!
I've seen this story so many times and at least the conversation prior to recording was mentioned a bit.
I rarely get involved and write about things but this has been on my mind over and over- the why's, the what if's, etc. - not only for this particular case but for what it could mean for future confrontations.
We have to go forward, with total clarity.
From just the video portion, I was so discusted with Mrs. Cooper and thought she was 'evil'- A few days later I saw Mr. Cooper's statement and saw how gray this really is.
It is Not so Black and White.
I'd love to know if you or anyone else had even the slightest change of mind after reading the conversation between the two of them before the filming started- compared to just seeing all the Amy Cooper Videos? I've responded to a handful of videos on this topic and have only one person reply. Good or bad, I'm very interested in opinions of what I am bringing up. Thank you so much.
He threatened to poison her dog.
Oh please... More “complaints” ? Wtf, don’t tell me my country is racist.
@Slopjaw Johnson The truth hurts; you would rather it forgotten ha?
HE should take off those glasses. HE's gorgeous.
He’s gorgeous with those glasses haha he looks so intellectual with them
@L L Uhm, what?
There has to be some kind of crime her. She literally called in an emergency to have this man harmed. Surely that’s against some kind of law?

Asking someone to fallow the rules and have their dog on a leash isn’t threatening. Get a life.

Excellent comments about this in a NYC neighborhood paper: (Read the comments section.)
www.westsiderag.com/2020/06/10/the-tension-between-birdwatchers-and-dogwalkers-was-simmering-even-before-the-amycooper-incident
The following 2 comments are from people who know Chris Cooper and have witnessed him doing the same thing to others:
Commenter #1
Christian Cooper confronted my neighbor in April (with those damned treats) and guess what? Cooper had no mask on. Speaking of rules being broken in the park. My neighbor was enraged and desperate to get his precious pup away Cooper, but was also afraid to get within 6 feet of his unmasked face. And when he did get his dog, Cooper said, so smug, “See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?” Forget the cops, my neighbor said he had half a mind to punch Cooper in his smug, unmasked face right there.
Commenter #2
...And Cooper is absolutely no angel, did the same thing to friends early May, no mask, aggressive, threatening, yet this time in Strawberry Fields. That incident was more NYC birder vs dog owner.
Thanks To You Sir!🤗....We have a NEW!!! LAW!! For People like ! her!!!👹
IN N.Y.C. 👍👍✌
How would any an other women react and feel if a strange men suddenly comes out from the bushes in an empty park when nobody is around and trying to feed her dog despite of her objection and tell her to leash a dog while the park is empty and nobody is around?
Rules are rules, they don’t magically go away when you incorrectly assume no one’s there. Just because you don’t see any other cars doesn’t mean it’s okay to drive 200mph on the interstate.
You’re probably like those people in my neighborhood that run stop signs because “no one’s around” and nearly run over children playing UGGGGHHHHHH
"come out from the bushes" hahahaha you racists are funny.
I am white. What horrible woman
He wanted her to leash the dog. She was clearly draging dog, he was choking for sure. How long was she choking the dog before being recorded? So, at the end he said thank you is because she leashed the dog.
What happened to George Floyd is exactly what Amy Cooper wanted to happen to Christian Cooper!!!
Another victim.
Steven Farmer You are a LUNATIC RACIST!!!!! Birders bring dog treats all of the time to the park. He told you why they do in the video, idiot. It’s not a remote place either. They even said a well known area. You are pathetic. You are what’s wrong with America. 🙄🙄🙄
Yes she is
Can you update your story as now she’s suing her employers and back tracked on her stance
She lost. Serves her right.
M F why did he approach a single white female with a small dog in a part of the park where apparently there we no other witnesses? BECAUSE HE PLANNED IT, IT'S A PUBLICITY STUNT, OR MORE THAN LIKELY, WENT FROM RAPIST MODE TO RACIST/VICTIM! discovery bought it.🤣🤣💩🖕💩🖕💩🖕💩🖕💩🖕💩🖕💩🖕
What is the explanation for his saying to Amy: "If you're going to do what you want to do, I'll do what I want to do, and you're not going to like it." I'd be upset too if during a heated conflict someone called my dog over and gave it something to eat. He seems highly intelligent though, and also credible.
Well he can’t call your dog over if it’s leashed like the 100 signs all over the park tell you they need to be. That’s the point he was trying to make.

She has proved white people's guilt.
'White guilt' is a ridiculous concept. We can only ever be responsible for our OWN crimes, not those of previous generations or even our own generation. Not ALL white people can be responsible for the crimes of ONE white person, no more than ALL black people can be responsible for the crimes of ONE black person. We all have a duty to call out racism and similar forms of discrimination, but we're only ever responsible for our own conduct, never the conduct of a massive group of people, the majority of whom we don't know and will never know, who happen to share a similar skintone to us.

the Tillman story is soo horrible and I was upsetting
A birder dog policing the park and recording rule breakers? Strange.
Such nice and smart siblings, I feel sorry they had to put up with a person like that.
And history repeats itself.
Lol. He wasn't racially targeted.
He was threatening people in a public park
How...?
@@KB-si5fx
His MO is to threaten people with loose dogs in that part of the park. Offer treats without consent, leading people to believe he might be poisoning them.
He's on tape saying "I'm going to do things you won't like"
That's threatening, coming from a black man that came out of the bushes by surprise, especially with the record of white women being sexually assaulted or murdered in that area.
He looks good for his age he is a zaddy
Shes so frantic the dog was freaking out. Lol
Lol? She was STRANGLING it! She didn’t let its front paws touch the ground the entire time. It was trying to BREATHE!
IF PEOPLE CANT KEEP THIER DOGS ON A LEASH, THE DOGS MUST BE BANNED FROM THAT SECTION OF THE PARK
Wow, the girl isn't allowed to go free, like jussie smollett?
I remember when this story first broke and the outrage about animal abuse. A lot of people cared more about the dog than the woman faking hysteria while calling the police. 😩 like yes the poor dog but darn it that's second tier to a human being.
dsndicmsa he approached her respectfully. There is no problem with that.
@@SweetHomeGeorgia And then when she didn't comply with his demands he threatened her dog.
@@Jenacide he didn't threaten her dog by offering the dog a treat. Have you thought that if she followed the park rules, he would never asked her to put the dog on her leash so birds wouldn't be bothered? She caused this effect.
@@SweetHomeGeorgia So next time your kids are at the park and maybe disobey one rule its ok for a man to come up and offer them snacks and take them away from you?
@@lodrbyroni bad comparison. Animals are different.
In a perfect world, (as a 74 year old Italian white woman, I should not HAVE to speak up in defense of other adults. Altho' I did. Twice. For two men of color, going about their normal day - who were suddenly being hassled. Completely out of left field. Which in seconds, suddenly placed them at center stage. Now I wasn't going to sit by and let it escalate - on my watch. Moreover, I'm happy I could help. But the larger question remains - why did these men NEED defending? And by a white person, who had to assure their accusers 'these guys are really not criminals'..Racist perception, plain and simple.
We the people need to dismiss the entire Senate and Congress, with the exception of Hakim Jefferies, Adam Schiff and a few others who qualify as being interested in the people of the U.S., the Constitution, civil rights, united health care and anything that benefits all citizens. The reason : they speak with false tongue or say nothing positive for humanity or for the future, or what direction they would like to take the country. We need hands on elected representation from legislators who give a damn. Jesus is Love
I can't believe he is 57
I know! Ages like fine wine, emphasis on fine, especially when he took his glasses off. 😍😍😍
So Larry David from curb your enthuisiasm was right about telling leon to wear glasses
Why would you call police on Christian ?
