And yet, if she had simply followed park rules and put her damn dog on a leash, everything would have been fine.  

“I sincerely and humbly apologize to everyone, especially to that man . . .”

I think the whole point is to just read writers of color on this

Ha ha thats awesome.

I give him so much credit for keeping his cool, listening to that insane phone call (and surprisingly good acting on her part) and just saying a quick ‘thank you’ when she FINALLY leashes the dog and he moves along. Just shows how simple his initial request was and how she was turning it into a fucking ordeal for no…

“if I tell the cops it’s a POC, they’ll get here faster”

Not to mention the sudden tone shift: cool and aggressive with him, little-girl scared and teary on the phone. 

This post hits my points more eloquently:

She knew exactly why she was going to say that and she TOLD him she would do that, thinking that would scare him off. She weaponized his race against him. That’s some of the lowest shit I’ve ever heard. I wouldn’t be surprised If she was smiling behind that mask when she said It.

The way she deliberately changed her tone on the phone to make it sound like she was terrified makes me want to punch her in the face. 

The thing missing from her apology was the explanation. WHY did she call the police? Why did she lie about her life being threatened?

Me too! That was clearly a threat. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing, and it’s goddamn sickening. Fuck her and her apology

Just a random musing:

I mean that is the part that is most galling. If you were truly sorry wouldn’t you at least make an attempt to learn the name of the person you basically tried to have murdered for your amusement. The lack of self awareness from this bitch is what is so striking

If she really “just realized” that the police are not a protection agency for “many people”, why did she feel the need to say that she was going to tell the police that the guy filming her is African American? 🤔🤔🤔

“I’m gonna tell them there’s an African-American man threatening my life.”

The way her voice changes on the phone about being “threatened” ... all the while she’s chocking that dog.  That’s evil, and normal, and fucking disgusting. 

This video should be a college course on privilege. She knew she could summon the police and sic them like rabid dogs on a black man. The fake tears at the end was diabolical.

What type of dehumanizing non-apology apology was that! That man? She couldn’t even say Mr. Cooper, her has the same last name as you. She is just sorry (annoyed) that she was filmed and is probably going to lose her job. I’m certain that the people of color who work under her would corroborate this interaction with…

“That man”?  Don’t tell me she didn’t know his name by the time she made that statement.
