It’s perfectly reasonable to want fewer incidents of white women calling the cops on innocent black men (Type I errors), so long as you are willing to accept more incidents of violence against white women by guilty black men (Type II errors).
If Kitty Genovese were attacked by Winston Moseley in 2020 instead of 1964, the media would obsess not over the dozens of witnesses who didn’t call the police but over the two or three who did.
Our society, however, seems to be suffering a cognitive disability about understanding the trade-off between Type I errors (e.g., false positive complaints about harmless black men) and Type II errors (e.g., failures to alert police about dangerous black men). As I wrote in Taki’s Magazine in 2018:
What’s Your Type?
Steve SailerJuly 18, 2018
… After all, these kinds of false-alarm Type I errors—false-positive calls to the cops to investigate a person who turns out to be law-abiding—happen countless times per day in this vast country of ours. So do Type II errors: false negatives of failing to alert the police in cases of a genuine lawbreaker. …
Ever since the Starbucks bathroom crisis in April, America has been going through a media moral panic in which a white man (or, more often, a white woman) who commits a Type I error at the expense of a black person may lose his job and be permanently keelhauled in the press.
Here are recent examples of this media mania from The New York Times:
First, there was BBQ Becky. Then came Permit Patty. Now, a South Carolina woman has been nicknamed Pool Patrol Paula after a widely shared video showed her accosting a black boy and his friends at a neighborhood pool, telling them to “get out” or she would call the police.
With the respectable NYT having given the okay that this variety of trivial fluff is respectable national news, the tabloids are now jumping in. Not surprisingly, the parameters of this variety of story are expanding to cover just about anything anyone said to dis anybody else. The police don’t need to be involved, as long as there is an identity-politics angle to help you grasp immediately who is the Good Guy and who is the Bad Guy (or, typically, Bad Gal).
In an increasingly feminized media culture, this is what passes for breaking news …
And, admittedly, this kind of story is pretty easy and entertaining to have an opinion on which stranger is right and which is wrong. You don’t have to know anything or think very hard, just react. In the 10,000 or so years that humans have lived in villages, we’ve gotten into these sorts of tiffs trillions of times.
The self-respecting mainstream news media traditionally tried to limit how much they cater to this kind of lowest-common-denominator taste for gossip about nobodies, generally restricting stories of personal spats to celebrities.
For example, the website World Star Hip Hop has featured countless entertaining phone videos of, to take one popular genre, welfare mothers throwing chairs at each other in Chuck E. Cheese birthday party brawls. But World Star Hip Hop videos of black-on-black weave-pulling is definitely not the news that’s fit to print in The New York Times.
Yet America’s ongoing moral crusade to hunt down the last remaining white racists means that much duller videos of whites acting suspicious of blacks are now front-page news. …
In contrast to Implicit Bias theory, the fun of the current frenzy is that you don’t have to blame everything on textbooks and the like. You get to hate the individual evil racist Becky.
It’s particularly noteworthy that white women are the designated villains in many of these media morality plays. You might think that in the #MeToo era, women’s worries about their personal security would be viewed at least somewhat sympathetically.
Instead, white women are finding themselves pretty far down the intersectional totem pole. For instance, The New York Times has printed the racial slur “Becky” three times over the past five weeks while demeaning white women.
Our ability to think statistically about the trade-off between Type I and Type II errors seems to go on the fritz when race is involved. When the participants are all white, everybody more or less intuits that if you want the cops to question fewer innocent people (fewer Type I errors), you’ll have to put up with more guilty ones committing more crimes (more Type II errors), and vice versa.
But thinking statistically is hard. The distinction between Type I and Type II errors was only invented by Jerzy Neyman and Egon Pearson between the Wars. (And we still need a better mnemonic name than Type I/Type II.)
It’s much easier instead merely to automatically castigate the people your culture designates as vile and deserving of abuse, which in 21st-century America is increasingly the white race.

The whole incident is something stupid between two unpleasant people. Her dog should’ve been on its leash and she is a selfish box wine aunt. Yet, it doesn’t just change that the guy threatened her, and has a history of harassing dog walkers using the same, “you’re not gonna to like what I’m gonna do” line. So it’s something this guy does in his spare time (including carrying dog treats in his pocket to interfere with dog owners.)
He’s a prick, and under any other circumstance [and any other skin color] it would be a story of a busybody running into the wrong, annoying box-wine aunt type who calls the cops over everything– maybe justified this time considering that line and him continuing to go after her dog despite warning him not to touch the dog.
That it is major news is embarrassing. And I feel bad for box-wine aunt for losing her job, and dog, because of the mob.
…the SJW sleeper cells have been activated for the election and the media is really trying to drum up some summer Travyon/Baltimore 2.0 over every incident, no matter how serious.
I also don't think this was a type I error (or was it type II? We always said "false positive" and "false negative"); She was clearly threatening him with the cops with an accusation she knew to be false. As a liberal white woman, she certainly must know the possible consequences of that and that it should frighten him and that is why she did it.Replies: @The Wild Geese Howard

There is no trade-off in this when people have discernment and exercise good judgment (dangerous black men don’t approach with “The rules say you should leash your dog here, ma’am”). But the latter is too much to ask these days.

As always, media and police gag orders cause strong reporting biases.
Thus, add to Steve’s comments:
False positives includes complaints about a career criminal, with a long rap sheet, as long as he has not committet a crime in the 10 minutes before or after Becky’s action. It is almost impossible to prove a correct positive. It is like quantum physics, the observer probably makes sure that the crime will not happen.
False negatives must not be reported about, according to the explicitly writte PC gag order that mandates hiding “minority” crime.
Correct positives, justified complaints, will not be reported either. Because of media gag order
Correct negatives, non complaint non crimes. He walked into the house and stole nothing, and nobody complained. This is usually too boring to report and very racist to say: black went to the pool, nobody said anything, and he committed no crime. But sometimes the supect committed an esgregiously good deed. In Germany, hundreds of refugees, reportedly, already turned in lost and found wallets and bags with a few thousand Euros each.
Obviously Mr. Sailer, in these trying times, not only are you not wearing your MSM approved
muzzlemask, you’ve misplaced your blindfold.Can’t have that.
Don’t move. Stay right here please, till we get the rope and ladder.
It’s much cheaper and cleaner than a concrete wall and a couple of bullets.

I don’t know why companies feel they have to give in to the mob. She didn’t identify her company in the video and wasn’t wearing anything that identified her company. So why is it the company’s business?
But on a purely amoral level, consider their risks. On the one hand, firing her over this makes them a less appealing place to work, for current employees as well as prospective ones; on the other hand, keeping her onboard risks making them a less appealing fund manager to institutions. Say it’s time to review options for the company 401(k) and most on the committee don’t care but the Stacey Abrams doppelgänger from HR vetos Franklin Templeton because they didn’t fire Amy Cooper.
The second one is the bigger risk today, given current unemployment levels.

Frankly, given the way she conducted herself, I would not want her working for my company. You don’t have a “right” to a job in America. It was her privilege to represent Franklin Templeton before the world and she could no longer be trusted with that privilege.

Hey Jack, quick question. Remind me again how many Jewish financial execs were aware of Epstein, who still have their job. Should Leon Black and others have been shamed and driven from the industry?
Trusted with privilege, indeed.
‘Probably she was a psycho to her co-workers all along but psychopaths suck up to their superiors so that they are never found out. This time she showed her fangs.’
Ah. So had her interlocutor been white, she would have been fired as well?
Except Cooper is not a danger black man. He was not Trayvon Martin or a “jogger” with construction boots and a hammer. This was one time when the black media hero really is a good guy. And she didn’t FAIL to alert the police to him. She had no duty or right to alert the police to him because he had not committed any crime.
Instead she falsely accused him of threatening to kill her. This is a very serious false accusation and she should be in jail or at least fined for making a false police report. She is a sociopath who was caught doing the wrong thing and instead of humbly admitting that she was in the wrong and leashing her dog she falsely accused a man of a serious felony as a below the belt tactic to “win” the encounter. She played the short game and didn’t think of the larger implications of her tactics (to say the least). And she clearly was NOT afraid of Cooper – rather than running AWAY from him, she approaches him. He was afraid of HER. He asks her to stay away from him on the film as she approaches menacingly.
Of course, the racial aspect is what took this to a whole different level in the press, but what she did was despicable regardless of color. But she was the one who pulled the race card. She was an idiot to do this in America 2020 and now she is suffering the consequences.

Maybe less appealing for the few remaining fans of the first amendment, but I can all but guarantee that the average NYC office worker applauds this firing as the morally corageous thing to do.
Well, he’s probably the only black man in the history of the world who’s ever tweeted, “I pull out the dog treats I carry for just such intransigence”.
This wasn’t an “error”, this was an entitled woman intentionally lying and drumming up false charges. But I do agree with the other commenter that this guy is also a provacative asshole based on his own history. Nutty dog lovers and bird watchers can both go to hell as far as I’m concerned.
But you know, it actually really provides some perspective on some other opinions regarding COVID etc if one can watch this video and describe it as a “Type I Error”. Labeling it as such requires either a sort of autistic “whoosh” miss on reading the social situation, or dishonest spin.
“…harless black men…”
This whole NYT led shitstorm has just got me thinking.
I recall, a few weeks ago, that a female letter carrier somewhere in the Midwest was gunned downed and horrifically murdered by an angry irate rabidly furious – as is their wont – young black man simply because she *simply did not have* the gubbmint gibs he was expecting and felt entitled to in her mailbag BECAUSE a Post Office embargo and refusal to deliver order was placed on his residence – a FACT of which he was abundantly aware – due to the FACT of his vicious uncontrolled dogs previously attacking letter carriers.
This incident, infinitely more heinous, vicious and serious – think of the terror of the post woman’s last moments on earth – has strangely garnered very very little media attention. You can rest assured that the BBC has ignored it.
You are exactly right - the MSM has memory-holed this horrible incident.

The turning point of the matter comes when Black Bird Watcher Guy says, “If you’re going to do whatever you want, then I’m gonna do whatever I want.”
That is not how the law operates. In saying this, he has crossed over into Lynch Law, he has taken on vigilantism. The woman is fully justified in feeling threatened by anything further that he says or does, because he has just announced that he will now proceed to follow his own whims instead of the law. There is no telling what he means by “whatever I want” — the Zodiac killer said things like this to his victims in a calm tone of voice before murdering them.
This sort of rough justice may work on a playground among eight year olds, but not between two strange adults in a secluded area of a park with an international reputation for black men assaulting white women.
The Karen lady was lynched not just by Twitter, but also literally by Black Bird Guy who directly announced he would not be bound by legal convention. Were it not for racial hysteria this would be clear.

If Christian Cooper was genuinely uninterested in repercussions, why, then, did he decide to turn the footage of the incident over to his sister? Why did he not simply archive it (or delete it altogether), seeing as how no harm was done?

If you "don’t need to see anything else happen," to someone after a run-in with them, it seems to me the thing to do is to quietly archive the footage, not share it with someone else who could, quite conceivably, end up sharing it with the entire world.

She’s just a overly confident, entitled, U of Chicago MBA, AWFL bitch who thinks she’s all that because she has some high-powered job as a money-shifter. This type abounds in NYC, DC, Boston, et al.
Personally I’m super reluctant to get into any squabble with a stranger over any issue, but especially with an AWFL because I know how petty and vindictive they can be. That is a losing battle for someone like me if the cops are called (“This man was acting aggressively and I felt threatened...”). Undoubtedly she’s pulled variations of this shit before and been successful with these AWFL tactics. But this time the entitled AWFL bitch crap didn’t work against a successful Harvard-educated, gay, birdwatching-nerd black man.
I see this whole incident as less of a race issue and more of an AWFL bitch getting her comeuppance. Having encountered this type before, a lot, I’m feeling a little pep-in-my-step schadenfreude over it.
Having said all that, I would feel awful if someone I got into a squabble or fight with ended up in trouble or lost their job or dog over it. Even if they were nasty and deserved it. I would want someone to learn their lesson, be chastened, but in no way hurt.

Given the overwhelming robbery murder and rape statistics of NYC black men she was absolutely correct to call the police. Big city women have to be very situationally aware of black men. How was she to know he didn’t have 2 fellow thugs laying in wait for a line woman to come along.
“if you have the right to keep your dog unleashed, “ I have the right to do something to you that you don’t like “ is a direct threat.
I’ve noticed blacks have a habit of instigating confrontations with Whites by scolding them for something. The White is supposed to bow his head in shame as the black berates them for going through a store door ahead of them, objecting to being shoved on Push Day touching them in a crowded elevator or anything and nothing.
Did you mean ‘hairless’ black men? I mean, they can look menacing to a little thing like Central Park Karen.

Why? Because she reads and naively believes all the op-eds about black men quivering in fear every time they leave the shelter of their homes. The media and black writers in particular have created a completely fictional picture of America where every black guy is is running down the street, chased like The Elephant Man, screaming “sanctuary!”
The point is, she never would have done what she did if the media had not told her lies and sold her false hope of seizing power in a moment when she felt powerless. She sucks, he sucks, but the people at the New York Times (and all other journos who wish they were) suck the most.

It could be worse–I carry a knife and I will gladly kill someone’s retarded, untrained, unleashed dog who jumps on me. And every single woman and liberal’s dog is untrained.

If you don’t like leashing your dogs then move to rural Vermont and own your own property. My personal space in a public park is not part of your dog’s territory.

You might scoff, but paradoxically, my opinion is that the *ONLY* hope for the white race is the rise and rise to full spectrum economic, fiscal, military, technological and political dominance of China.
In saying this I’m acting in the same manner as the late, great Enoch Powell, a life long committed Conservative, who tore up his Tory membership card and urged British voters, all voters, to vote Labour in the UK General Election of March 1974, due to his, (betrayed), belief that Labour would take Britain out of the EEC.
My feeling – and I might be wrong – is that despite historical injuries and insults, the Chinese in general have a ‘live and let live’ attitude towards whites.
That *definitely* *CANNOT* be said about blacks, subcons or, most importantly of all, the white Economist whipped ruling class western Deep State. All of the above want us destroyed. Make no mistake about that.
In my own little way I contribute towards this objective by a ‘purchase Chinese’ policy, often via eBay or alibaba.
In any event, north America and western Europe will be majority black/brown by population in the latter half of this century, China or no China.
If you have a Chinese acquaintance of 'drinking buddy' level, lead the conversation around to HSBC and the Opium Wars.
Back in the 90s, one of about a dozen students that was part of our regular lunch group was a born-in-Australia 'assimilated' Chinese. His nickname was 'Stick', because he used that word to describe stupid people (there's two bad Australian jokes that caused that - below the 'MORE').
He spoke with no accent; did high school at Haileybury; was on the waiting list for the Melbourne Club. He played cricket well enough to be invited to be a 'net bowler' for visiting national teams. And he was shit at mathematics (which is actually true of more than half of the ~300 Asian students I taught).
Both his parents were anti-CCP, and had no real attachment to modern China - having emigrated in the 1960s. They were reliable voters for 'conservative' politics (in Australia that means the Liberal Party).
Anyhow... this is by way of introduction of an individual whose 'Chinese-ness' wasn't remotely nationalist (or political in any way).
In 1995 one of our number got a half-decent job offer at HSBC - and of course that lunch session the group discussed it for a while.
After everyone wandered off, there were five of us left: Stick; two of his flatmates; two of my mates, and me[1].
One of his flatmates said "You were strangely quiet about HSBC, Stick. I thought you had a strong view?"
The next five minutes or so was all about how HSBC needs to be expropriated, and that every Chink worth his salt wants to see England, the US and HSBC all destroyed for what they did to China in the 1800s.
I was intrigued at the venom - this guy was the quintessential 'networker', and not given to vituperation - so I asked if that was a common view among Chinese people he knew (although to be frank he didn't know many). He said it's universal, according to his parents.
Over the next couple of weeks he started calling over Chinese students that he didn't know, and asking them to tell us what they thought about the issue. Often there were prefatory remarks in Cantonese to encourage them that this wasn't a setup.
Either he was good at spotting ChinkChinks who thought like him, or the US/England/HSBC sentiment runs a good 75% against.
They have no issue with 'white' per se, although they think we stink and are clumsy and stupid.
White Aussies/Kiwis/SarthEffrikans/Frogs/Krauts/Canucks... no drama. White Yanks and Poms tho: fuck those guys. Anyone who works at HSBC: set those cunts on fire.
It's not dissimilar to how US black activists feel about US slavery, or how Maori feel about the way white people established Crown control over New Zealand.
It's invariably only perpetrators of atrocities who do the whole "Let's let bygones be bygones"/"Let the past stay in the past" thing.

No, I hadn’t heard of her either. But the funniest bit is this: The controversy was triggered by the emergence of an old song under the title Dindu Nuffin – a term used to disparage black victims of police brutality.
Black victims of law enforcement would be nearer the mark.
He's a prick, and under any other circumstance [and any other skin color] it would be a story of a busybody running into the wrong, annoying box-wine aunt type who calls the cops over everything-- maybe justified this time considering that line and him continuing to go after her dog despite warning him not to touch the dog.
That it is major news is embarrassing. And I feel bad for box-wine aunt for losing her job, and dog, because of the mob.

If anyone has a Franklin Templeton investment account, close it and tell them why.
It was an epic meltdown, but there were very understandable reasons that, unfortunately, the mainstream media refuses to report. At worst she should have been forced to attend a humiliating diversity training course.
There’s got to be someone reading this blog who has an investment account with Franklin Templeton. They need to lose at least some business for this unjust firing.
They're already facing industry headwinds in that fewer and fewer investors are willing to invest in actively managed funds (as opposed to passive [i.e. index] funds), then factor in their lazy, incompetent, and nepotistic management (the current Chairman is the son of the past Chairman, the CEO is his sister and daughter of the prior Chairman) and you get a real mess of a company.
Example of recent management brilliance: They decided to buy Legg Mason in mid-February. The deal included a massive break-up fee (in excess of $500mm). Naturally Covid hit not long after and Legg's assets under management plummeted, but Franklin is still on the hook for the acquisition.

Torn between Black Frasier and Twofer from 30 Rock. Though neither of them was quite as sanctimonious.
Like the issue of police shootings, women using police to bully men is not necessarily a racial phenomenon. Before black lives matter, police were shooting lots of people, black and white, in questionable circumstances. However, this being 21st century America, race needs to be injected into the discussion before it becomes “serious.”
The truth is that the people most likely to call the police on black men are probably black women. I’ve seen black women shamelessly threaten black men with the police merely for having the temerity to stand up for themselves in their own homes. However, this is by no means a purely black phenomenon. White women do it all the time as well.
“Believe all women” attitudes, pervasive due to feminism, lead directly to this behavior. There are countless men who have been jailed merely on the say so of some lying woman like Ms. Cooper. Mostly this gets zero attention, and the true victims, mostly white men, get zero sympathy. Fortunately, good cops (most of them), are well aware of this problem and try to cajole the truth out of women before doing anything drastic.
It isn’t ideal that blacks get to own this issue, but I’ll take it as better than nothing. As I wrote in a previous thread’s comment, something similar happened to me less than a week ago. I was able to prevent the woman from calling the cops, but only because it was not the first time this has happened to me and I knew how to neutralize her threat. In fact, I can’t count all the times I’ve had women threaten me with authorities, almost always because I called them out on their own bad behavior. That seems to be what provokes them the most.
If that dog lady lied in her police call, she should do jail time. Every woman who makes a false police report should, at the very least, be booked for the crime. Sure, the jails would be overflowing for a while, but eventually they would learn their lesson and the culture would change for the better.
I don’t believe that lies are the same as type I errors. A lie is not an error. There’s a big distinction there. This conflation of the two is feminist sleight of hand. Maybe the racial issue is also contributing to muddled thinking here, but the underlying issue is female abuse of authority, and it has been a problem in the US for decades.
Ironically, it is black women who may stand to lose the most power if there is a cultural change in this regard. I’ve spent time in family court, and near the courtrooms there’s a little window where guys who got in trouble over domestic disputes line up to check in. I remember taking a good look at that line, relieved I wasn’t in it (I was lucky — it wasn’t for lack of effort on my ex’s part), and noticing how many black guys were there. I’m sure there were plenty of guilty men in that line, but I grew up around a lot of blacks and saw how vindictive their women can be, so I’m equally sure that there were quite a few totally innocent men unfairly dragged through that process because some angry woman picked up the phone, called the cops and lied through her teeth.
"False police report" is a misdemeanor that is seldom enforced. There are reasons for that.

I live in Washington DC and for the past 18 years in a neighborhood that is half gentrified and half 100 percent black housing projects. One of the things you quickly learn for your own safety on the sidewalks and on the Metro is how to distinguish ordinary black men minding their business (which is most of them) from thugs. If you can’t do that, you’re a hysterical fool like Amy Cooper who couldn’t tell the difference in broad daylight and thus shouldn’t be living in a city. The thugs are uniformly young (teens to 25 or so), loud, usually traveling in groups, and of distinctly gangsta appearance: locs, tattoos, pant waists down below the boxer shorts, in the summer often no shirt. Those black males are to be avoided at all costs–which is something that respectable black people do. If she had run screaming for the police from one or more (usually more) of that type, and he had turned out to be a Rhodes scholar, that would have been a “false positive.”
I’m glad that Franklin Templeton fired her. My husband and I have some of our savings in Franklin Templeton, and I don’t want my money managed by a 42-year-old single woman in NYC who: 1) calls herself a “dog mom” and the dogs she owns her “babies”; 2) wears a coronavirus mask while walking on a virtually unpopulated trail in the early morning; 3) has so little social awareness that she can’t tell the difference between a thug and some middle-aged black guy in a T-shirt; 4) disregards the leash law on an environmentally fragile trail because “fur baby” is so precious; 5) obviously calls the police without provocation while remembering to be oh-so-politically correct (she says “African-American”? C’mon!); and 6) gets so emotionally wrought up that she tortures the dog in the process (I could scarcely watch that prolonged strangling on the video as she repeatedly dragged the choking animal by its collar).
Sorry, but I feel zero sympathy for this woman. She needs to get out of money management.

Twinkie’s right, her use of the term African-American man, and her emphasis and repeated use of that term, was her fatal error.
She’s just a overly confident, entitled, U of Chicago MBA, AWFL bitch who thinks she’s all that because she has some high-powered job as a money-shifter. This type abounds in NYC, DC, Boston, et al.
Personally I’m super reluctant to get into any squabble with a stranger over any issue, but especially with an AWFL because I know how petty and vindictive they can be. That is a losing battle for someone like me if the cops are called (“This man was acting aggressively and I felt threatened…”). Undoubtedly she’s pulled variations of this shit before and been successful with these AWFL tactics. But this time the entitled AWFL bitch crap didn’t work against a successful Harvard-educated, gay, birdwatching-nerd black man.
I see this whole incident as less of a race issue and more of an AWFL bitch getting her comeuppance. Having encountered this type before, a lot, I’m feeling a little pep-in-my-step schadenfreude over it.
Having said all that, I would feel awful if someone I got into a squabble or fight with ended up in trouble or lost their job or dog over it. Even if they were nasty and deserved it. I would want someone to learn their lesson, be chastened, but in no way hurt. If I were Christian Cooper I would feel horrible about what happened to Amy Cooper and would try to reach out to her and reconcile and maybe even help her if possible. That would be the Christian thing to do (no pun intended).

Shaming women into being less likely to call the police when feeling vaguely threatened by a black man will get more women killed full stop.
Look, obviously this broad’s a dumbass, but until we design a world without dumbasses it’s better that fewer of them are badly hurt or killed because of it.

If someone in a public space points out to you that your dog has to be on a leash, and particularly if you already know that you’re required to leash your dog but you simply decide to ignore this regulation, then the only appropriate response is to put Fluffy on a leash.
I’m sure that it annoyed her to be filmed during this encounter, but being annoyed isn’t a reason to call the police, and claiming that her life was being threatened simply isn’t convincing. Had she really felt that her life was in danger, rather than standing there and jawing with the guy, she would would have been hauling ass out of there, with or without her little dog.

In other late breaking news, the jogger in Jawja has been revealed to also be a bird watcher though the efforts of intrepid NYT journalists working overtime for no pay, their only reward being the simple joy of knowing that they were keeping America properly informed. The jogger/bird watcher would veer through houses under construction because he was doing a study to determine the numbers and species of birds trapped in houses under construction. His dream was for Ornithology Today to publish his article documenting the results of his study.
If the jogger/bird watcher occasionally took a few things from a construction site, it was always in a good cause. The sale of the insignificant lifted items funded his ongoing research and his electrician studies at the local community college. He fully intended to repay the former owner of the petty items taken once he had a good job as a construction electrician. His untimely death was a great loss to both the electrician world and the bird watcher world.
That is not how the law operates. In saying this, he has crossed over into Lynch Law, he has taken on vigilantism. The woman is fully justified in feeling threatened by anything further that he says or does, because he has just announced that he will now proceed to follow his own whims instead of the law. There is no telling what he means by "whatever I want" -- the Zodiac killer said things like this to his victims in a calm tone of voice before murdering them.
This sort of rough justice may work on a playground among eight year olds, but not between two strange adults in a secluded area of a park with an international reputation for black men assaulting white women.

Is there a legal precedent against offering a dog a snack?
The truth is that the people most likely to call the police on black men are probably black women. I've seen black women shamelessly threaten black men with the police merely for having the temerity to stand up for themselves in their own homes. However, this is by no means a purely black phenomenon. White women do it all the time as well.
"Believe all women" attitudes, pervasive due to feminism, lead directly to this behavior. There are countless men who have been jailed merely on the say so of some lying woman like Ms. Cooper. Mostly this gets zero attention, and the true victims, mostly white men, get zero sympathy. Fortunately, good cops (most of them), are well aware of this problem and try to cajole the truth out of women before doing anything drastic.
It isn't ideal that blacks get to own this issue, but I'll take it as better than nothing. As I wrote in a previous thread's comment, something similar happened to me less than a week ago. I was able to prevent the woman from calling the cops, but only because it was not the first time this has happened to me and I knew how to neutralize her threat. In fact, I can't count all the times I've had women threaten me with authorities, almost always because I called them out on their own bad behavior. That seems to be what provokes them the most.
If that dog lady lied in her police call, she should do jail time. Every woman who makes a false police report should, at the very least, be booked for the crime. Sure, the jails would be overflowing for a while, but eventually they would learn their lesson and the culture would change for the better.
I don't believe that lies are the same as type I errors. A lie is not an error. There's a big distinction there. This conflation of the two is feminist sleight of hand. Maybe the racial issue is also contributing to muddled thinking here, but the underlying issue is female abuse of authority, and it has been a problem in the US for decades.
Ironically, it is black women who may stand to lose the most power if there is a cultural change in this regard. I've spent time in family court, and near the courtrooms there's a little window where guys who got in trouble over domestic disputes line up to check in. I remember taking a good look at that line, relieved I wasn't in it (I was lucky -- it wasn't for lack of effort on my ex's part), and noticing how many black guys were there. I'm sure there were plenty of guilty men in that line, but I grew up around a lot of blacks and saw how vindictive their women can be, so I'm equally sure that there were quite a few totally innocent men unfairly dragged through that process because some angry woman picked up the phone, called the cops and lied through her teeth.Replies: @ANON, @Alden, @Jane Plain, @anon, @Alden, @Marty
Good comment. I agree. As a former investigator I was often shocked by the crap some guys have to go through— seemingly unjust stuff— and how stoically many of them handled it. A lot of them black and Hispanic. These are the 95% who try to do the right thing even when dealt BS from law enforcement and the courts. Their stories are never heard because they’re not newsworthy. Reading trending stories on social media or MSM or featured by Paul Kersey would give you a very distorted view of how things actually are. It would be good if people went to their local courthouse and perused the docket and sat in on some court cases.
There are a lot of horrible women out there and if you happen to be the man who involves with them you will have a rollercoaster life at best and most likely will be emotionally, mentally, and physically damaged if not destroyed. And law enforcement and the courts are totally on the side of the woman. Often law enforcement will apologize to the male involved in a 911 call before telling them that their (LEO’s) hands are tied and the male must be arrested and booked. In a domestic situation, or civil divorce/child custody case, law enforcement and the courts act as women’s advocates.
I don’t say this as someone who’s ever been arrested or divorced. I say this as someone who’s spent a lot of time in courthouses and interviewing people. I saw how getting involved with the wrong woman could potentially be life-destroying and I therefore saw to it that I never get involved with such a woman. I.e., a woman who possessed any of the behaviors or displayed any of the warning signs of a bitch or nag or unstable woman. As a young man I dated all the above. I went for looks and T & A. And in every one of those relationships, I — as an opinionated, temperamental, stubborn, and argumentative guy— was miserable and the relationship quickly devolved into drama and bitter fights and temporary break-ups. I never had a premarital relationship last longer than 1.5-2 years.
So when it came to looking for a wife I was methodical in choosing the right one. I waited for one with all the right character traits. I found her. So now in my first and only marriage I have gone decades with only a few mild arguments (which were quickly resolved the same day). Involving with the wrong woman can be a soul-crushing hell. Being married to the right woman is a source of constant happiness and joy, heavenly.
Every young man should be taken to family court for an afternoon just to see how things can turn out.
Your analogy is very weak sauce. If Epstein had been a lower middle management exec at any Wall St. firm (“Jewish” or not) he would have been out of a job at the first allegation of child molestation. A different set of rules apply to the rich and powerful (of any religion) – it has always been thus. This doesn’t make it right, but that’s the reality. Ask Joe Biden, assuming he can still even remember what he has done.

Having been in dozens of arguments in public places in Manhattan with all sorts of people (white, male, female, black, etc.), I'd have to admit I've lost my cool in more than a few. Under those circumstances, it's easy to say things without thinking in the heat of the battle so to speak. My own view: Life is a psychological war in NYC, and it's easy to get drawn into (in retrospect) stupid disputes because of the lack of civility or consideration of so many neurotics or just incredibly competitive, high strung people.
As a defense lawyer, I defended one wealthy white men who got into a silly random argument with a black security guard and called him "n###er." On the flip side, I also represented a black building security guard who correctly kept a white man from going up to his apartment during a fire when his wife and child were there. The white man (who understandably lost his composure at being kept from his family) freaked out and called the guy "stupid n###er." My client immediately jumped over his desk and attacked the white man. Charged with misdemeanor assault, which I was eventually able to get dropped.
While I don't condone the manner in which Ms. Cooper indeed played the race card, (1) Mr. Cooper was never in danger from any NYC cop (to say otherwise is absurd dishonesty); and (2) It's common for one in a heated argument to blurt the most obvious physical characteristic of the opponent as a taunt. I've been called faggot (I'm not) in several arguments with blacks; and I've seen more than one argument in which one of the adversaries was taunted as "bald." It's an atavistic human trait.
All of this is to say that birdgate is a major mountain out of a molehill. The Monty Python crew would have understood.

The irony is that NYC has a well-trained, expensive army protecting its citizenry. Whatever people might imagine happening elsewhere, the idea that Harvard-educated, Audubon Society board member black or not was at all at risk of anything from cops showing up is absurd. He knew that, which is why he kept videoing and told her he wanted her to call 9/11.
Ditto, by the way, for the lady with her dog at 8 AM. In the old days, we would have concluded what I have no doubt cops responding would have in this case, she was having a bad day.
The cops that showed up -- any two cops that showed up, would have told him that she had leashed her dog and that they would remind her she needed to do so in the future or risk a citation.
He would have then left, and the cops would have spent the next half an hour or so listening to her complain about how difficult a time she and fluffy were having, what with the virus lockdown and all -- "He's not getting enough exercise!" -- before sending her on her way -- "Okay, have a better day, Ma'am."

“Frankly, given the way she conducted herself, I would not want her working for my company…. Probably she was a psycho to her co-workers all along”
Yup, her employer wanted her gone for a long time now but feared a lawsuit, so this ‘racist’ incident gave them an excuse to pull the trigger.
Only race-obsessed morons wouldn’t see from the video that she is the one who advanced on him and started to act on the phone with the police like she was being assaulted. Geez. The dog needs exercise? Take it for a walk or a run on a leash instead of breaking park rules and choking her dog by stringing it up.
And he didn’t ruin her - she did that all by herself by calling the police and trying to frame him for a crime. Did he “provoke” her into breaking the park rules and disturbing the bird sanctuary?
And I love the “This AFRICAN-AMERICAN man is threatening me!” part. Really scared people don’t yell PC-compliant descriptive like that. They scream “HELP!

She’s just a overly confident, entitled, U of Chicago MBA, AWFL bitch who thinks she’s all that because she has some high-powered job as a money-shifter. This type abounds in NYC, DC, Boston, et al.
Personally I’m super reluctant to get into any squabble with a stranger over any issue, but especially with an AWFL because I know how petty and vindictive they can be. That is a losing battle for someone like me if the cops are called (“This man was acting aggressively and I felt threatened...”). Undoubtedly she’s pulled variations of this shit before and been successful with these AWFL tactics. But this time the entitled AWFL bitch crap didn’t work against a successful Harvard-educated, gay, birdwatching-nerd black man.
I see this whole incident as less of a race issue and more of an AWFL bitch getting her comeuppance. Having encountered this type before, a lot, I’m feeling a little pep-in-my-step schadenfreude over it.
Having said all that, I would feel awful if someone I got into a squabble or fight with ended up in trouble or lost their job or dog over it. Even if they were nasty and deserved it. I would want someone to learn their lesson, be chastened, but in no way hurt. If I were Christian Cooper I would feel horrible about what happened to Amy Cooper and would try to reach out to her and reconcile and maybe even help her if possible. That would be the Christian thing to do (no pun intended).Replies: @Jack D, @JSQ
You’re right but the REASON she got her comeuppance was because of race and not because of what she did. Had birdwatcher man been white, this would have never blown up at all. Then again, she was the one that pulled the race card, so it is just more well deserved comeuppance. “An African-American man is threatening my life” (Implictly, “Hurry, police come quickly, it’s an emergency”) (when nothing of the sort was going on) meant that she was pulling the nuclear option and the bomb blew up in her face.
Ironically, the police showed up much later if at all – when seconds count the police are minutes away.
Well Steve you pretty much said it yourself. There is a social hierarchy for the victims groups; blacks at the top, whites at the bottom , women at the top men at the bottom etc… within those hierarchies you have hierarchies; black women rank higher than black men “vagina pass”, but black men rank higher than white women…
And they are interchangable depending on who is stepping on who’s toes at any giving moment. It’s macro and micro, and the system is fluid. So a white Becky out ranks a white man, but said same Becky is out ranked by a black man. An interesting exercise might be to construct a ladder diagram of who out ranks who of the never ending subdivisions of social justice victims groups. Now throw LBGTXYZPDQ into the mix! Not an effort for the faint hearted!
Hey I have a great question here; seeing as how she was unwuestionably breaking the law, what if he had called another armed friend over, pulled out his weapon (and pointed it at the ground) and attempted a citizen’s arrest?
We don’t know if she’s obnoxious at work too, but just from a PR standpoint I would have announced that of course her actions were repellant and she was being put on indefinite leave to undergo counseling. Then you make a long-term decision to dump her if needed when things quiet down. If she’s truly mentally defective she could cook up a disability suit.
If you fired every neurotic in NYC, you’d have a ghost town. Oh wait …
But why would they fear those whom they feel nothing but love and compassion for? Is batshit crazy enough to explain their cognitive dissonance?
I live in Washington DC and for the past 18 years in a neighborhood that is half gentrified and half 100 percent black housing projects.

If you can't do that, you're a hysterical fool like Amy Cooper who couldn't tell the difference in broad daylight and thus shouldn't be living in a city. The thugs are uniformly young (teens to 25 or so), loud, usually traveling in groups, and of distinctly gangsta appearance: locs, tattoos, pant waists down below the boxer shorts, in the summer often no shirt. Those black males are to be avoided at all costs--which is something that respectable black people do.

I don’t see him as a prick. He says he is trying to protect the bird habitat. She was clearly doing something wrong and not just technically wrong- it would damage the bird habitat. He says he has found people put their dogs back on leash when he starts giving them treats. A pretty clever solution.
I also don’t think this was a type I error (or was it type II? We always said “false positive” and “false negative”); She was clearly threatening him with the cops with an accusation she knew to be false. As a liberal white woman, she certainly must know the possible consequences of that and that it should frighten him and that is why she did it.

False choice.
Tribalism 100% relies on the ability of people to effectively execute it. Merely stating its existence or will toward it is fairly meaningless.
The broader Black group effectively lacks that ability for a variety of reasons and across a variety of measurements to include:
the ability to interpersonally cooperate over long stretches and against self-interest,
the ability to successfully raise a nuclear family and keep it together
low crime rates within the group
high in-group trust
high rates of civic participation
etc.
This is why its politically safe to offer Blacks tribalism, and even to construct some superficial legs of it for them: they lack the innate ability to finish its construction and effectively maintain it.
Whites broadly speaking, and on the other hand, do not lack the ability to execute on it and this is why it is prohibited to them.
Jews are the only group truly allowed unrestricted tribalism because they control enough strings to be in charge.
If tribalism “didn’t work out”, then it wouldn’t be the primary vehicle for Jews.
The truth is that individualism, outside of necessarily government free frontier societies, is a Jewish political invention and poison pill meant for shit-tier-IQ Whites to steer them away from something effective (tribalism). It is a competition reduction tool for Jews.
Anyone without a politically effective tribe has the social and political status of a slave because they have no political power. Full stop.

I have nothing but contempt for most dog owners b cause their dogs and untrained and completely control the owners. But her dog didn’t approach the. man. He carries dog treats and frequents the park. He throws the treats to dogs hoping the dog will come to him and he can confront the dog owner.
Amy Cooper is now being investigated by the Nee York Human Rights Commission. The reason the liberals are making such a fuss about this is that they have long wanted to make it a crime to call the police on a black person unless the black person actually is committing a felony.
Here’s a common situation. White woman on her way home from work after her 10 or 11 pm shift ends goes into 7/11 to pick up something. She notices 3 black men sitting in a car in a dark spot in the parking lot. She dallies inside the store She sees they are still sitting there. There’s also a bus stop on that corner.
She’s correct in assuming that the 3 black men are waiting to see a lone person getting off the bus and walking home so they can rob him or her. Or, waiting for someone driving they can follow home and rob.
Correct police procedure if they see a parked car after dark with 1 or more men just to sitting there is to ask them what they’re doing and for ID. Often the men have warrants out and criminal records.
And robbers and rapists do frequent parks. My kids were out playing in Land’s End the day David Carpenter ( White serial killer) accosted and killed one of his victims in Lands End National Park about 2 blocks from our house. All his victims were young women in state and national parks
There was another serial killer who grabbed women walking on the sidewalk that ran along Golden Gate Park. There was tall thick shrubbery and he just stepped out behind them and grabbed them.
Well, Duh!
There stories are not “never heard because they are not news worthy” they are not heard because they would blow up the women as perpetual victims narrative! Same reason the MSM tries to deep six black on white crime!
I live in Washington DC and for the past 18 years in a neighborhood that is half gentrified and half 100 percent black housing projects. One of the things you quickly learn for your own safety on the sidewalks and on the Metro is how to distinguish ordinary black men minding their business (which is most of them) from thugs. If you can't do that, you're a hysterical fool like Amy Cooper who couldn't tell the difference in broad daylight and thus shouldn't be living in a city. The thugs are uniformly young (teens to 25 or so), loud, usually traveling in groups, and of distinctly gangsta appearance: locs, tattoos, pant waists down below the boxer shorts, in the summer often no shirt. Those black males are to be avoided at all costs--which is something that respectable black people do. If she had run screaming for the police from one or more (usually more) of that type, and he had turned out to be a Rhodes scholar, that would have been a "false positive."
I'm glad that Franklin Templeton fired her. My husband and I have some of our savings in Franklin Templeton, and I don't want my money managed by a 42-year-old single woman in NYC who: 1) calls herself a "dog mom" and the dogs she owns her "babies"; 2) wears a coronavirus mask while walking on a virtually unpopulated trail in the early morning; 3) has so little social awareness that she can't tell the difference between a thug and some middle-aged black guy in a T-shirt; 4) disregards the leash law on an environmentally fragile trail because "fur baby" is so precious; 5) obviously calls the police without provocation while remembering to be oh-so-politically correct (she says "African-American"? C'mon!); and 6) gets so emotionally wrought up that she tortures the dog in the process (I could scarcely watch that prolonged strangling on the video as she repeatedly dragged the choking animal by its collar).
Sorry, but I feel zero sympathy for this woman. She needs to get out of money management.Replies: @SFG, @VinnyVette, @Testing12, @Jane Plain, @Jane Plain, @Kaz, @Dave Pinsen
PS – Further, I think you’re allowing your dislike of her type of white woman to interfere with your judgement on the bigger picture, which will result in a continual criminalization of any disagreement shown by any white person with any form of black misbehavior.
He was right about the leash, but his manner was provocative. Did you hear the video? That teasing voice? He was clearly egging her on. He was not frightened of the police, in fact, he urged her to call them.
And he wasn’t some skinny, nerdy, bird-watcher. Other photos of Christian Cooper show a massively muscular man. That comment, “I’m going to do something you’re not going to like” turned out to be a nothingburger (he reached into his pocket and pulled out a dog treat), but how do you explain that?
You just don’t like her cultural type, so let her go to the guillotine. Fine, but if you should ever happen to be turned into a Karen, don’t come to me to stick up for you.

He's serious enough about birdwatching that he's on the local Audobon Society board.
However, it is a super convenient cover story for cruising Central Park, or any park, anywhere.
Just add binoculars, a guidebook, and a bottle of water for massive plausible deniability.
The truth is that the people most likely to call the police on black men are probably black women. I've seen black women shamelessly threaten black men with the police merely for having the temerity to stand up for themselves in their own homes. However, this is by no means a purely black phenomenon. White women do it all the time as well.
"Believe all women" attitudes, pervasive due to feminism, lead directly to this behavior. There are countless men who have been jailed merely on the say so of some lying woman like Ms. Cooper. Mostly this gets zero attention, and the true victims, mostly white men, get zero sympathy. Fortunately, good cops (most of them), are well aware of this problem and try to cajole the truth out of women before doing anything drastic.
It isn't ideal that blacks get to own this issue, but I'll take it as better than nothing. As I wrote in a previous thread's comment, something similar happened to me less than a week ago. I was able to prevent the woman from calling the cops, but only because it was not the first time this has happened to me and I knew how to neutralize her threat. In fact, I can't count all the times I've had women threaten me with authorities, almost always because I called them out on their own bad behavior. That seems to be what provokes them the most.
If that dog lady lied in her police call, she should do jail time. Every woman who makes a false police report should, at the very least, be booked for the crime. Sure, the jails would be overflowing for a while, but eventually they would learn their lesson and the culture would change for the better.
I don't believe that lies are the same as type I errors. A lie is not an error. There's a big distinction there. This conflation of the two is feminist sleight of hand. Maybe the racial issue is also contributing to muddled thinking here, but the underlying issue is female abuse of authority, and it has been a problem in the US for decades.
Ironically, it is black women who may stand to lose the most power if there is a cultural change in this regard. I've spent time in family court, and near the courtrooms there's a little window where guys who got in trouble over domestic disputes line up to check in. I remember taking a good look at that line, relieved I wasn't in it (I was lucky -- it wasn't for lack of effort on my ex's part), and noticing how many black guys were there. I'm sure there were plenty of guilty men in that line, but I grew up around a lot of blacks and saw how vindictive their women can be, so I'm equally sure that there were quite a few totally innocent men unfairly dragged through that process because some angry woman picked up the phone, called the cops and lied through her teeth.Replies: @ANON, @Alden, @Jane Plain, @anon, @Alden, @Marty
What do you do, accost strangers in public and scold them for going through a door in front of you? Are the women you call out for their misbehavior neighbors relatives someone you live with or strangers you harass in public?
Bill P gets around.
That bramble Area is a known gay sex with strangers hook up spot because it has a lot of bushes Has been for decades. James Baldwin even wrote about it in the 1950s.
The ruling class worldview, informed by Professors of African American Studies, seems to be that cops are champing at the bit to kill black men – and now to have their lives ruined for doing so – for no particular reason whatsoever. Well, no reason besides racism. The black men in these cases also suffer from the circumstance of just having turned their lives around, once and for all leaving any past bad behavior behind them making that behavior wholly without moment to the current discussion of cops’ racism and bloodlust. It’s just the alchemy of cops and black men that produces black men (and perhaps the irrelevancy of dead cops). Interestingly, this racist bloodlust also explains the motivations of non-white cops and even black cops, who become “blue” and are no longer “black.”
So when Karen either threatens to call the police or calls the police she is threatening to have the object of the call murdered.
On the other hand, not calling the cops to report black men for racist reasons may end in Karen’s premature death, but in that case Karen will be a sort of martyr – and, I tell you most importantly – no one will posthumously proclaim Karen to be a racist.
There's got to be someone reading this blog who has an investment account with Franklin Templeton. They need to lose at least some business for this unjust firing.Replies: @William Badwhite
Franklin has been a poorly managed pile of junk for quite awhile. Their stock is down about 60% over the past five years. They’ve managed an astounding number of consecutive quarters of net outflows (when more money is redeemed from their funds than is invested), something like 20+.
They’re already facing industry headwinds in that fewer and fewer investors are willing to invest in actively managed funds (as opposed to passive [i.e. index] funds), then factor in their lazy, incompetent, and nepotistic management (the current Chairman is the son of the past Chairman, the CEO is his sister and daughter of the prior Chairman) and you get a real mess of a company.
Example of recent management brilliance: They decided to buy Legg Mason in mid-February. The deal included a massive break-up fee (in excess of $500mm). Naturally Covid hit not long after and Legg’s assets under management plummeted, but Franklin is still on the hook for the acquisition.

Something tells me that Christian Cooper has never been in a position to have a black woman call the cops on him.
Yes I want Whites to be like Blacks. A mere 13 percent of the population dominates the rest. Are Presidents, most of sports and entertainment. Are presented as the Dream match for all White women.
And now enjoy the ability to steal all your stuff legally and soon the right to kill Whitey for any reason.
Blacks went from segregation to utter dominance on their own, through hate hate hate of Whitey and complete aggression. Indeed hate of Whites is the unifying superglue of Blacks.
Yes I want Whites a minority now to be tribal. Aggressive and violent and dominant. I want our rulers to fear Whites rioting and burning down cities. I want White violence to haunt their every moment.
And I want Whites to keep it real so White girls run and have four kids with White thugs rather than two by Black dudes or none with White beta males.
Your skin color is your uniform . And you won’t always be young and fit. Better have a pack that had you back. An individual is easy prey. For Blacks or their government.
Regarding fur babies - folks wonder where white fertility went? So much parental instinct of upper middle class whites these days is funneled toward canines. It's disgusting and out of control. I know married couples with no kids who cook dinner every night for their stupid dogs. Are american whites the only people in the world who put dogs on such a pedestal?Replies: @Charlotte Allen
The upper middle class’s current weird obsession with dogs is nauseating. Cook for your dog? Bake cookies for your dog? Knit sweaters for your dog? Take your dog to a dog hairdresser and dog nail salon? Buy a birthday present for your dog’s birthday? People actually do this stuff! (Check out the pet food aisle at your local supermarket: gourmet burgers, etc.) The worst offenders are single women. They are all over the place with their rambunctious canines in my neighborhood. They won’t get married and have kids (and no one wants to marry the older ones), for fear of losing their “independence”, but they happily chain themselves to a messy, highly emotionally dependent animal that has a nervous breakdown when left alone for a few days while the owner takes a vacation. I’d never get a dog unless I had kids. Dogs are good for teaching kids responsibility and they like to horse around, which kids love.
Thank you.
"The worst offenders are single women."
Good to know there's at least one other person who has noticed this trend.
"they happily chain themselves to a messy, highly emotional dependent animal that has a nervous breakdown when left alone for a few days"
I believe the clinical term for this particular human psychosis is Doggy-Wuv-Wuv.
The difference between a poorly cared-for dog and a poorly cared-for child is the propensity of the latter to learn to speak and make his or her poor treatment known to other adults.
I’ve done a lot of dog sitting since I retired. Dogs are incredibly emotionally dependent to a disgusting degree. And picking up poop. At least we have laws about that. I just take them out to the woods for that. The neighborhoods where I dog sit are over run with coyotes so the dogs are kept inside at night behind fences and leashes when going for walks.
Nevertheless a lone woman in a park where Whites have been robbed raped beaten and killed by black men for the last 80 years has the right to be frightened.
Do you know how to tell a real service dog from a pet?
1. A service dog stays as close as possible to the owner right at the ankle.
2 A service dog ignores other people, dogs, squirrels and litter, everything.
3 When the service dog owner stops, the dog sits down either between the owner’s feet or next to and touching a leg.
4 Unlike the usual untrained pets, the service dog never never moves ahead of the owner.
I saw a lot of pets at the airport at Christmas
and the dog relief area signs. I wonder if the owners clean it up or an airport worker?
Well considering that dogs, unlike people, are incapable of malice, and do not betray you, unlike people, they are preferable to humans

Hachiko?
She’s just a overly confident, entitled, U of Chicago MBA, AWFL bitch who thinks she’s all that because she has some high-powered job as a money-shifter. This type abounds in NYC, DC, Boston, et al.
Personally I’m super reluctant to get into any squabble with a stranger over any issue, but especially with an AWFL because I know how petty and vindictive they can be. That is a losing battle for someone like me if the cops are called (“This man was acting aggressively and I felt threatened...”). Undoubtedly she’s pulled variations of this shit before and been successful with these AWFL tactics. But this time the entitled AWFL bitch crap didn’t work against a successful Harvard-educated, gay, birdwatching-nerd black man.
I see this whole incident as less of a race issue and more of an AWFL bitch getting her comeuppance. Having encountered this type before, a lot, I’m feeling a little pep-in-my-step schadenfreude over it.
Having said all that, I would feel awful if someone I got into a squabble or fight with ended up in trouble or lost their job or dog over it. Even if they were nasty and deserved it. I would want someone to learn their lesson, be chastened, but in no way hurt. If I were Christian Cooper I would feel horrible about what happened to Amy Cooper and would try to reach out to her and reconcile and maybe even help her if possible. That would be the Christian thing to do (no pun intended).Replies: @Jack D, @JSQ
This sums it up exactly. We all know this type of silly, self-important, neurotic middle-class white female who just can’t leave well enough alone. We’ve encountered her countless times in every school and white-collar workplace and affluent neighborhood in America. I think I speak for most white guys when I say we’ve also learned that the best way to deal with this type is to just bite your tongue, swallow your pride and submit to their petty tyrannies, because the Amy Coopers of this world are natural tattle-tales with a lifetime of practice in their art; they always know just whom to tattle to and how to frame it so as to inflict maximum damage with minimal risk to themselves (although Cooper herself probably should hone her skills in this area a little bit). There is a squalid pleasure in seeing this type of person have her meddling and complaining blow up in her face and result in a public humiliation. It’s why, even though I deplore the racial undertones of the “Karen” label, I still smirk a little at the concept, because I can relate to it as well: we all can.
But the punishment should fit the crime, and being “investigated” by various arms of NYC law enforcement, losing your job–losing your freaking dog–is out of proportion here. This would be a good time for Trump to step in and hold an Obama-type informal “beer summit” between these two, to put the thing to rest. There’s enough tension, racial and otherwise, in the US right now; let’s try to defuse it a little.
Very bad advice. Stand your ground and put them in their place. That doesn't mean violence. It means acting like an adult. Is that too much to ask?

Imagine, if you will, that this act is largely for public consumption and to exhibit status in the way that it is now assessed, and that in the privacy of the home the dogs are treated like, well, dogs.
The difference between a poorly cared-for dog and a poorly cared-for child is the propensity of the latter to learn to speak and make his or her poor treatment known to other adults.
True. But in the hierarchy of poor choices, it doesn’t seem to rate very highly. For example, young Mr. Arbery’s choice of attacking a man with a shotgun pointed right at him while stopping him for police questioning is the apotheosis.
Having been in dozens of arguments in public places in Manhattan with all sorts of people (white, male, female, black, etc.), I’d have to admit I’ve lost my cool in more than a few. Under those circumstances, it’s easy to say things without thinking in the heat of the battle so to speak. My own view: Life is a psychological war in NYC, and it’s easy to get drawn into (in retrospect) stupid disputes because of the lack of civility or consideration of so many neurotics or just incredibly competitive, high strung people.
As a defense lawyer, I defended one wealthy white men who got into a silly random argument with a black security guard and called him “n###er.” On the flip side, I also represented a black building security guard who correctly kept a white man from going up to his apartment during a fire when his wife and child were there. The white man (who understandably lost his composure at being kept from his family) freaked out and called the guy “stupid n###er.” My client immediately jumped over his desk and attacked the white man. Charged with misdemeanor assault, which I was eventually able to get dropped.
While I don’t condone the manner in which Ms. Cooper indeed played the race card, (1) Mr. Cooper was never in danger from any NYC cop (to say otherwise is absurd dishonesty); and (2) It’s common for one in a heated argument to blurt the most obvious physical characteristic of the opponent as a taunt. I’ve been called faggot (I’m not) in several arguments with blacks; and I’ve seen more than one argument in which one of the adversaries was taunted as “bald.” It’s an atavistic human trait.
All of this is to say that birdgate is a major mountain out of a molehill. The Monty Python crew would have understood.
I hope you've learned to zip it up and move on. Whatever it is isn't worth your life. Or getting your law license revoked.
"Life is a psychological war in NYC"

You’re writing about domestic violence situations which are between 2 people who live together or are in the same place by choice at the time the alleged incident happened.
This was an encounter between 2 strangers. One of the strangers belongs to one of the demographics that commits 96% of the homicides in NYC.
As for saying African American, race is the first question the dispatchers ask, then clothes, then size then age.
This can and does happen to Whites. Blacks, especially black women constantly try to set up Whites in the workplace. Black men sexually harass White women they work with and then claim racial discrimination if the White woman rejects them.
The woman wasn't afraid of the guy at all. She was angry, and wanted to put him in his place. Not because he was black, but because he pointed out that the rules applied to her, too.
In my mind she's just like the crazy neighbor who threatened me with the police recently for telling her to quit honking her horn. A lot of women use the threat of the police to get their way. I've seen it over and over in all sorts of circumstances in the US.
I don't think women should not have the right to call the cops, but if they lie when they do so they should be arrested. The woman accused the guy of threatening her and her dog, but he wasnt. People can be arrested for threats. If she said that to the cops, he could be locked up on false charges. It's only fair that she be arrested and sent to jail if she committed the crime of falsely accusing the man.
Likewise for the neighborhood honking lady I had to deal with the other day. After she sat blaring her horn over and over on a balmy evening while everyone's windows were open, I got up, walked over to her car, and asked her to please stop it. She promptly accused me of harassment and threatened me with police. Who is harassing whom? She was harassing the entire neighborhood, and there she was threatening to accuse me of a crime she was committing herself!
This really isn't about race. It's about a certain subset of women abusing the considerable power society has given them. Calling the police is kind of like pulling a gun. There are situations where it's warranted, and then there are situations where it isn't. Wounded pride is, absent other injury, not a good reason, but it's far from rare for women to call the cops for that alone.
It reminds me of an incident just the other day, when my 5yo was playing with a neighborhood girl at my place. She's a nice girl, a pleasure to have over, and a good playmate for my kid. So I'm sitting in the living room reading, and the girl comes out of my son's room saying she has to tell me something. I ask her "what's the matter?" And she tells me that my son made fun of her spelling. So I took her back to the room, asked the boy whether he did this, and then had him apologize while reminding him that he wouldn't like it if I did that to him.
This is totally normal little kid stuff. Cute, even. But at a certain point in life, daddy isn't there to mediate these things. You're on your own, and it's time to act like a grown-up. This means, among other things, that you'd better have a good reason when you call on armed men to intervene on your behalf. Hurt feelings don't quite clear the bar anymore.
Maybe wine-box aunt lady now becomes a vengeful revolutionary writing sundry political treatises until the day when she returns from exile to impose her revenge upon the ruling class. Lol. One can hope.
But honestly, this wouldn’t be happening if we had our own country, one exclusively for our people just like other civilized nations — Japan, South Korea, etc. A nation like that is largely free from this kind of incident. If you don’t believe me, I would urge you to take a trip to Japan one day. It’s very different from this mess of a country. Even in the dead of night you can walk their urban areas in near perfect safety. Beautiful culture.
Why exactly does this proposal get no traction? It seems to be the obvious solution. Do you guys not want to live in a society free of racism, a place where we have the unity to fix our problems? Where we are free to pursue our own ends and to express ourselves without inference? Imagine no more stories like Central Park Karen. A national culture. Unity. Patriotism and civic spirit. No diversity or immigration. Good schools and neighborhoods we can pass down to our kids. Imagine living among your own kind in peace, no more fighting or stress. No more being blamed for all the world’s problems by envious racists and white self-haters. Sounds like paradise to me. … so what’s stopping you?
My guess is that whites like complaining but are otherwise perfectly fine as long as the hamburger and diet coke supplies don’t run out. Impose a temporary lockdown, cutting them off from the beach and the grill, and then it’s full on 1776. Since Karen here isn’t them, they don’t care. That kind of people is ultimately doomed.
Tiny Duck, you have given yourself away! You normally use the self-insulting moniker Tiny D(i)uck, and now you insult yourself again by referring to yourself as a “subhuman burger-dropping that bothers to come to this festering shithole of a website” You may change your moniker, but the fingerprint is always the same.

Great vid. But Fall River is in MA, not Rhode Island. Although it’s pretty much the same demo.
I think this guy has an ingenious solution to these prick dogowners that let their dogs run rampant without leashes. Cops aren’t going to enforce it because it’s not worth their time.
His solution is to carry around treats to inconvenience rule breaking dog owners, completely innocuous.
Also you can’t pretend to be scared for your life when you’re getting closer to the guy recording instead of walking away.

I'm not quite as sanguine as you are that strangers handing out treats to dogs is completely innocuous.
After all, not everyone likes dogs and it is just conceivable that someone handing a treat to your dog might be one of those people. I also understand that dogs can be (and are) stolen. What better way to get close to a dog you'd like to steal than giving it a treat?

I live in Washington DC and for the past 18 years in a neighborhood that is half gentrified and half 100 percent black housing projects. One of the things you quickly learn for your own safety on the sidewalks and on the Metro is how to distinguish ordinary black men minding their business (which is most of them) from thugs. If you can't do that, you're a hysterical fool like Amy Cooper who couldn't tell the difference in broad daylight and thus shouldn't be living in a city. The thugs are uniformly young (teens to 25 or so), loud, usually traveling in groups, and of distinctly gangsta appearance: locs, tattoos, pant waists down below the boxer shorts, in the summer often no shirt. Those black males are to be avoided at all costs--which is something that respectable black people do. If she had run screaming for the police from one or more (usually more) of that type, and he had turned out to be a Rhodes scholar, that would have been a "false positive."

C'mon!); and 6) gets so emotionally wrought up that she tortures the dog in the process (I could scarcely watch that prolonged strangling on the video as she repeatedly dragged the choking animal by its collar).

She KNEW 100% the man was safe. That’s why she approached him and got in his face when she was yelling at him, before stepping back to make the call.
Agree about dog owners. I’ve found men dog owners the worst. They love big aggressive dogs that are allowed to charge at passers by. Worst was ultra liberal Marin county dog owners. No fences in the neighborhood so the dogs ran wild all day and night. Didn’t get a leash law till the dogs started running down deer.
I’ve done a lot of dog sitting since I retired. Dogs are incredibly emotionally dependent to a disgusting degree. And picking up poop. At least we have laws about that. I just take them out to the woods for that. The neighborhoods where I dog sit are over run with coyotes so the dogs are kept inside at night behind fences and leashes when going for walks.
Nevertheless a lone woman in a park where Whites have been robbed raped beaten and killed by black men for the last 80 years has the right to be frightened.
Do you know how to tell a real service dog from a pet?
1. A service dog stays as close as possible to the owner right at the ankle.
2 A service dog ignores other people, dogs, squirrels and litter, everything.
3 When the service dog owner stops, the dog sits down either between the owner’s feet or next to and touching a leg.
4 Unlike the usual untrained pets, the service dog never never moves ahead of the owner.
I saw a lot of pets at the airport at Christmas
and the dog relief area signs. I wonder if the owners clean it up or an airport worker?
This is an amazing bit of current year drama. So far:
– the woman is humiliated on Twitter
– her dog is confiscated or she voluntarily surrenders the little fellow to dog rescue
– she loses her job
– the Central Park Civic Association has called for her to be banned from the park
– something called the Commission on Human Rights has issued a letter of inquiry to the woman requesting her cooperation in a pre-complaint intervention
These next developments seem likely:
– her PayPal cancelled
– banned from Facebooks
– new or old black panthers demonstrate in front of her apartment, with pit bulls
– the LGBTQ community demonstrates in front of her apartment, with cocker spaniels
– Trump tweets disapprovingly of her
– Biden and Stacey Abraham denounce her
– she is discovered to have once suggested less than 11 million Jews were gassed
– she is placed on the TSA no fly list
– banned from Uber and Lyft
– evicted from her NYC apartment
– she is beaten to near death by the NYPD for not wearing a face mask while homeless
I’m sure there’s more misfortune in store for her

Genovese seems to have been gay, but that didn’t earn you points as much back then.

I’m not a dog owner, but I know many. And a lot of them are very cautious about who they let touch their dogs. Dog stealing, for instance, is a big thing in NYC. To Ms. Cooper, Mr. Cooper’s actions may have seemed to overstep reasonable personal boundaries; luring the woman’s dog with treats could have appeared unusual and threatening.
IMO-if she hadn’t manhandled the dog (which to me was quite comical actually) she would have had a lot more sympathy from the thousands of dog lovers here.
Then her call to the cops should have been quite different:
“Hello, police? I let my dog run loose and a strange negro offered him dog treats. Help!”
Dogs are less expensive to educate and more grateful than children. Smart people know what they are doing.
Only race-obsessed morons wouldn’t see from the video that she is the one who advanced on him and started to act on the phone with the police like she was being assaulted. Geez. The dog needs exercise? Take it for a walk or a run on a leash instead of breaking park rules and choking her dog by stringing it up.
And he didn’t ruin her - she did that all by herself by calling the police and trying to frame him for a crime. Did he “provoke” her into breaking the park rules and disturbing the bird sanctuary?
And I love the “This AFRICAN-AMERICAN man is threatening me!” part. Really scared people don’t yell PC-compliant descriptive like that. They scream “HELP!

The irony is that NYC has a well-trained, expensive army protecting its citizenry. Whatever people might imagine happening elsewhere, the idea that Harvard-educated, Audubon Society board member black or not was at all at risk of anything from cops showing up is absurd. He knew that, which is why he kept videoing and told her he wanted her to call 9/11.
Ditto, by the way, for the lady with her dog at 8 AM. In the old days, we would have concluded what I have no doubt cops responding would have in this case, she was having a bad day.
The cops that showed up -- any two cops that showed up, would have told him that she had leashed her dog and that they would remind her she needed to do so in the future or risk a citation.
He would have then left, and the cops would have spent the next half an hour or so listening to her complain about how difficult a time she and fluffy were having, what with the virus lockdown and all -- "He's not getting enough exercise!" -- before sending her on her way -- "Okay, have a better day, Ma'am."

Even before she called 911, she told Cooper “”I’m going to tell [the police] there’s an African-American man threatening my life.” So no, she had planned her use of the race card in advance.
The history of argument is playing whatever “card” pisses off the person who has just pissed you off. Have you never had a public confrontation?
It’s atavistic. You always go for the balls of your opponent in a one on one confrontation. A man would have noticed Mr. Cooper (The Karen here) was gay and probably called him a faggot. I’m not saying it’s smart, just that it’s hard wired in our nature. So understandable.

I don’t see the connection between wanting to eliminate false accusations against innocent black men and having to accept more crime by black men against white women. It’s a judgment call at times about when to call the police so mistakes cannot be eliminated. But I don’t think we have to accept the people who see something they don’t like, jump to the conclusion that blacks are doing something wrong and then call the cops just to keep white women safe.
As for Mr. Cooper, I saw an article at the Daily Mail in which he appeared to be a fair and reasonable guy. He gave thoughtful answers. It seems like he thinks like an educated American, which he is. Isn’t that good? Isn’t that what we want? God knows we have a huge problem with black criminals. This guy is the opposite of a criminal though. He shouldn’t be punished for what black criminals do.
By the way, this woman is a Canadian. I don’t think she has any special skills so there’s no good reason that she took the place of an American in her American jobs. She shouldn’t even have been here.

Ok, so what? What level of crime do you suppose this misdemeanor is? Are you going to your state legislature to make the crime into a low level felony? I doubt it.
For the third time: this is a misdemeanor that is rarely prosecuted. There are reasons for that. You're intelligent, think about those reasons.
Why would this misdemeanor be rarely prosecuted. Randomness or something else?

They're already facing industry headwinds in that fewer and fewer investors are willing to invest in actively managed funds (as opposed to passive [i.e. index] funds), then factor in their lazy, incompetent, and nepotistic management (the current Chairman is the son of the past Chairman, the CEO is his sister and daughter of the prior Chairman) and you get a real mess of a company.
Example of recent management brilliance: They decided to buy Legg Mason in mid-February. The deal included a massive break-up fee (in excess of $500mm). Naturally Covid hit not long after and Legg's assets under management plummeted, but Franklin is still on the hook for the acquisition.

He should have called the cops on her first. And either/both should have started recording the incident.
Here is where the (literally?) white knights come out. Let me flip the image. Some strange woman with an out of control vicious dog she refuses to leash when asked nicely is there and you are afraid to be bitten. So you try to control the dog she won’t and she gets mad. Why the feminazi’s are always right virtue signalling?
You want thousands of pickayune stupid laws and regulations, well, I can probably dial 911 every few minutes to report anyone.
Or do you support red flag laws and killing anyone who might come to the door with a gun when the accused is raided at 2am by police who don’t announce themselves because “someone felt threatened”. This is the type 1 error where swatting gets people killed – and never the police.
If we had police who weren’t turned into paranoid perpetual PSTD sufferers (see http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/us/training-officers-to-shoot-first-and-he-will-answer-questions-later.html ) who would just respond, one officer could calmly question each person, and resolve things it might make sense.
That is NOT NYC. The main reason I’m deep in flyover country. Lets say she called the cops, and while “asking” demanded he be put in handcuffs, then if he even had a reflexive jerk would be beaten half to death. Would that be a better outcome? SWATting lite? Which is what this Karen was threatening instead of leashing her dog and leaving. Would she have claimed he attempted to rape her? Believe all women? Or she called the cops and was issued a citation or arrested for not leashing her dog?
Oh, or if it ended up as another case of puppycide. The police arrive, and the dog runs at them (it was not on a leash) and they shoot the dog. That happens every few hours across the USA including to leashed dogs.
And there are more than a few cases where people called the police for something and ended up dead at their hands. Or welfare checks end up with someone who was ok until the police killed them.
I’m sick of Pangloss and Polyanna revised timelines. We only know, imperfectly, what did happen between two argumentative people who decided to see who could out-Karen the other. We don’t know “The Butterfly Effect” alternate timelines and they could be worse.
We are seriously messed up, to the point that there is no rational good outcome.
You’re right.
I stand corrected – I re-read the article right after the time to edit my comment had expired.
Amy Cooper is a fruitcake. But we will all rue the consequences of this relative nothingburger. Except for Charlotte Allen, who welcomes it.
This was the only proper response from Karen to Jaqueefius:

The Second Rule of White Club: NEVER side with a black against a white.
The Third Rule of White Club: Around blacks, NEVER relax.
Alrighty!
I assume then that you think that the Minneapolis cop who kneeled on George Floyd’s neck and asphyxiated him should swing next to Amy Cooper, and that you equate a tantrum with the death of a man?
“Lynching sounds too good.”

You either stick up for whites or you’re shilling for Jews and their black henchmen. It’s just that simple.
They’re still punching above their weight. Lumpenproletarian blacks have access to some of the best food, healthcare, and housing in the world. They can get elite world class healthcare any time they walk into a top academic emergency room typically built in their neighborhoods. Their nutrition is so rich and even excessive they are some of the heaviest people in the world. As Steve has pointed out they occupy some of the choicest real estate in the entire world, often with free and subsidized housing, water, and electricity. It comes from whitey. And whitey feels obligated to provide it. Chicago is even giving out free electricity. We all subsidize the free emergency room visits. It’s free manna!
Tribalism works. Al Sharpton knows the gig. Manna falls from the sky on the belligerent tribe in the wilderness, but not on the effete white sucker.
The day whitey stops giving handouts, black America will literally start living in tin shacks like a slum of Rio De Janeiro or Cape Town.
Didn’t take too long for his facade to fall and he started to resort to racial insults though.
Sure, with the constant drumbeat of cosmopolitan and centrifugal propaganda no aggregate of population can ever develop any sort of tribal identity. But why do you want to impede those who want to cultivate tribalism? It may take generations to come to fruition but you gotta start somewhere.

In saying this I'm acting in the same manner as the late, great Enoch Powell, a life long committed Conservative, who tore up his Tory membership card and urged British voters, all voters, to vote Labour in the UK General Election of March 1974, due to his, (betrayed), belief that Labour would take Britain out of the EEC.

You’re certainly wrong.
If you have a Chinese acquaintance of ‘drinking buddy’ level, lead the conversation around to HSBC and the Opium Wars.
Back in the 90s, one of about a dozen students that was part of our regular lunch group was a born-in-Australia ‘assimilated’ Chinese. His nickname was ‘Stick‘, because he used that word to describe stupid people (there’s two bad Australian jokes that caused that – below the ‘MORE’).
He spoke with no accent; did high school at Haileybury; was on the waiting list for the Melbourne Club. He played cricket well enough to be invited to be a ‘net bowler’ for visiting national teams. And he was shit at mathematics (which is actually true of more than half of the ~300 Asian students I taught).
Both his parents were anti-CCP, and had no real attachment to modern China – having emigrated in the 1960s. They were reliable voters for ‘conservative’ politics (in Australia that means the Liberal Party).
Anyhow… this is by way of introduction of an individual whose ‘Chinese-ness’ wasn’t remotely nationalist (or political in any way).
In 1995 one of our number got a half-decent job offer at HSBC – and of course that lunch session the group discussed it for a while.
After everyone wandered off, there were five of us left: Stick; two of his flatmates; two of my mates, and me[1].
One of his flatmates said “You were strangely quiet about HSBC, Stick. I thought you had a strong view?”
The next five minutes or so was all about how HSBC needs to be expropriated, and that every Chink worth his salt wants to see England, the US and HSBC all destroyed for what they did to China in the 1800s.
I was intrigued at the venom – this guy was the quintessential ‘networker’, and not given to vituperation – so I asked if that was a common view among Chinese people he knew (although to be frank he didn’t know many). He said it’s universal, according to his parents.
Over the next couple of weeks he started calling over Chinese students that he didn’t know, and asking them to tell us what they thought about the issue. Often there were prefatory remarks in Cantonese to encourage them that this wasn’t a setup.
Either he was good at spotting ChinkChinks who thought like him, or the US/England/HSBC sentiment runs a good 75% against.
They have no issue with ‘white’ per se, although they think we stink and are clumsy and stupid.
White Aussies/Kiwis/SarthEffrikans/Frogs/Krauts/Canucks… no drama. White Yanks and Poms tho: fuck those guys. Anyone who works at HSBC: set those cunts on fire.
It’s not dissimilar to how US black activists feel about US slavery, or how Maori feel about the way white people established Crown control over New Zealand.
It’s invariably only perpetrators of atrocities who do the whole “Let’s let bygones be bygones“/”Let the past stay in the past” thing.

I have mentioned before that Ms. Cooper was (maybe*) winning on tactics but lost (bigtime) on strategy. This is not the 7th grade playground. This is modern America with social media and she KNEW that she was being filmed. How is pulling the race card working out for her? I agree that if Mr. Cooper was, say Southern White and she called him a cracker or a hick or something, absolutely nothing would have happened to her. WOP, Mick, Kraut, whatever – crickets. But he wasn’t, he was black. She should have known where to go and where NOT to go in America 2020, even under stress.
* maybe because NYC 2020 is not rural Alabama 1955. “An African-American man is threatening me” didn’t really seem to excite the 911 operator that much and it would have excited the NYC Cops who eventually arrived long after both Coopers were gone (who probably would have been non-white themselves) even less.

The truth is that the people most likely to call the police on black men are probably black women. I've seen black women shamelessly threaten black men with the police merely for having the temerity to stand up for themselves in their own homes. However, this is by no means a purely black phenomenon. White women do it all the time as well.
"Believe all women" attitudes, pervasive due to feminism, lead directly to this behavior. There are countless men who have been jailed merely on the say so of some lying woman like Ms. Cooper. Mostly this gets zero attention, and the true victims, mostly white men, get zero sympathy. Fortunately, good cops (most of them), are well aware of this problem and try to cajole the truth out of women before doing anything drastic.
It isn't ideal that blacks get to own this issue, but I'll take it as better than nothing. As I wrote in a previous thread's comment, something similar happened to me less than a week ago. I was able to prevent the woman from calling the cops, but only because it was not the first time this has happened to me and I knew how to neutralize her threat. In fact, I can't count all the times I've had women threaten me with authorities, almost always because I called them out on their own bad behavior. That seems to be what provokes them the most.
If that dog lady lied in her police call, she should do jail time. Every woman who makes a false police report should, at the very least, be booked for the crime. Sure, the jails would be overflowing for a while, but eventually they would learn their lesson and the culture would change for the better.
I don't believe that lies are the same as type I errors. A lie is not an error. There's a big distinction there. This conflation of the two is feminist sleight of hand. Maybe the racial issue is also contributing to muddled thinking here, but the underlying issue is female abuse of authority, and it has been a problem in the US for decades.
Ironically, it is black women who may stand to lose the most power if there is a cultural change in this regard. I've spent time in family court, and near the courtrooms there's a little window where guys who got in trouble over domestic disputes line up to check in. I remember taking a good look at that line, relieved I wasn't in it (I was lucky -- it wasn't for lack of effort on my ex's part), and noticing how many black guys were there. I'm sure there were plenty of guilty men in that line, but I grew up around a lot of blacks and saw how vindictive their women can be, so I'm equally sure that there were quite a few totally innocent men unfairly dragged through that process because some angry woman picked up the phone, called the cops and lied through her teeth.Replies: @ANON, @Alden, @Jane Plain, @anon, @Alden, @Marty
About 15 years ago I was in a holding tank at Santa Rita after an admin screw-up on a citation I had paid. There with me was a 20-year old black kid with dreds, a football player who was in the process of transferring from Idaho to Northern Arizona. He gets on the phone to his girlfriend to instruct her to sell a gun to raise bail. While he’s waiting for her to find it, he says to me, “whatchoo in for man, dmestic vylince?”

“Attempting to attack a guy pointing a shot gun at you is definitely not understandable.”
I assume you are talking about the Arbery case. Travis McMichael was holding the shotgun. In the public video he does not clearly point it at Arbery (which would be aggravated assault) prior to Arbery rushing him. Arbery gambled he could catch Travis by surprise (which it appears he almost did) if he rushed him as he came around the front of the pickup. This was a fatal mistake but understandable if Arbery was terrified. Panic is not conducive to rational thought.

Great comment. It is indeed safe to allow blacks to be tribal. It makes them more hostile to whites, but that’s the whole point of giving power to people like Sharpton and Jackson. Such racial awareness that exists among them is, for the most part, in the form of resentment towards whites. If blacks truly had the ability to think in terms of what’s good for themselves, they’d see that bringing millions of other non-whites into America would be a disaster for them in the long run. If they got as angry about immigration as they are about everything else, they would indeed be dangerous to the ruling class.

I was just bothered by some fat guy on the Internet criticizing them.
But you knew this already. I explained it to you several times. I get the feeling you are acting contrite now, because you looked like a racist asshole from earlier comments. Rather like your hero Amy Cooper's fake "apology" of "To everyone who saw the video, I apologize," which is just another variation of that ridiculous standard format these days of "IF you were offended, I am sorry."Yes, yes, I too have a friend who is black.Back 20 years ago, Pavel was light years head of most fitness gurus in the U.S. - he actually emphasized functional strength and high range of mobility and strength at the end of the range of motion, all of which helped me greatly with athletic performance (rather than looking good). I contacted him then and he gave me excellent advice (all for free) though I did buy several of his books eventually (on my own). So I forgive him even his fake story about being a Spetznaz trainer.

He should have called the cops on her first. And either/both should have started recording the incident.
Here is where the (literally?) white knights come out. Let me flip the image. Some strange woman with an out of control vicious dog she refuses to leash when asked nicely is there and you are afraid to be bitten. So you try to control the dog she won't and she gets mad. Why the feminazi's are always right virtue signalling?
You want thousands of pickayune stupid laws and regulations, well, I can probably dial 911 every few minutes to report anyone.
Or do you support red flag laws and killing anyone who might come to the door with a gun when the accused is raided at 2am by police who don't announce themselves because "someone felt threatened". This is the type 1 error where swatting gets people killed - and never the police.
If we had police who weren't turned into paranoid perpetual PSTD sufferers (see http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/us/training-officers-to-shoot-first-and-he-will-answer-questions-later.html ) who would just respond, one officer could calmly question each person, and resolve things it might make sense.
That is NOT NYC. The main reason I'm deep in flyover country. Lets say she called the cops, and while "asking" demanded he be put in handcuffs, then if he even had a reflexive jerk would be beaten half to death. Would that be a better outcome? SWATting lite? Which is what this Karen was threatening instead of leashing her dog and leaving. Would she have claimed he attempted to rape her? Believe all women? Or she called the cops and was issued a citation or arrested for not leashing her dog?
Oh, or if it ended up as another case of puppycide. The police arrive, and the dog runs at them (it was not on a leash) and they shoot the dog. That happens every few hours across the USA including to leashed dogs.
And there are more than a few cases where people called the police for something and ended up dead at their hands. Or welfare checks end up with someone who was ok until the police killed them.
I'm sick of Pangloss and Polyanna revised timelines. We only know, imperfectly, what did happen between two argumentative people who decided to see who could out-Karen the other. We don't know "The Butterfly Effect" alternate timelines and they could be worse.

I assume you are talking about the Arbery case. Travis McMichael was holding the shotgun. In the public video he does not clearly point it at Arbery (which would be aggravated assault) prior to Arbery rushing him. Arbery gambled he could catch Travis by surprise (which it appears he almost did) if he rushed him as he came around the front of the pickup. This was a fatal mistake but understandable if Arbery was terrified. Panic is not conducive to rational thought.Replies: @Alden
Poor Arbery he watched too many movies and TV shows.

Anyone who doesn’t think this is yet another part of the War against Whites, go to a local park and bug the heck out of a black woman who is violating some park rule. Tape the whole thing and put it on Facebook and Twitter. See how that works for you!

Butter and syrup please , no margarine . Thanks .
Having been in dozens of arguments in public places in Manhattan with all sorts of people (white, male, female, black, etc.), I'd have to admit I've lost my cool in more than a few. Under those circumstances, it's easy to say things without thinking in the heat of the battle so to speak. My own view: Life is a psychological war in NYC, and it's easy to get drawn into (in retrospect) stupid disputes because of the lack of civility or consideration of so many neurotics or just incredibly competitive, high strung people.
As a defense lawyer, I defended one wealthy white men who got into a silly random argument with a black security guard and called him "n###er." On the flip side, I also represented a black building security guard who correctly kept a white man from going up to his apartment during a fire when his wife and child were there. The white man (who understandably lost his composure at being kept from his family) freaked out and called the guy "stupid n###er." My client immediately jumped over his desk and attacked the white man. Charged with misdemeanor assault, which I was eventually able to get dropped.
While I don't condone the manner in which Ms. Cooper indeed played the race card, (1) Mr. Cooper was never in danger from any NYC cop (to say otherwise is absurd dishonesty); and (2) It's common for one in a heated argument to blurt the most obvious physical characteristic of the opponent as a taunt. I've been called faggot (I'm not) in several arguments with blacks; and I've seen more than one argument in which one of the adversaries was taunted as "bald." It's an atavistic human trait.
All of this is to say that birdgate is a major mountain out of a molehill. The Monty Python crew would have understood.

Most of the near misses I’ve seen were in subways, or on subway platforms, when two black guys made eye contact. That usually leads to words, at the very least.

No thanks. That’s not how I want to live. I want to be free to have my own opinions.
“I’m not interested in repercussions,” he said. “It’s unfortunate what happened. There was definitely a lapse in judgment. But she put the dog on the leash, and I don’t need to see anything else happen to her.”
If Christian Cooper was genuinely uninterested in repercussions, why, then, did he decide to turn the footage of the incident over to his sister? Why did he not simply archive it (or delete it altogether), seeing as how no harm was done?
What did he think was going to happen when he released the footage to a third party?
If you “don’t need to see anything else happen,” to someone after a run-in with them, it seems to me the thing to do is to quietly archive the footage, not share it with someone else who could, quite conceivably, end up sharing it with the entire world.

And I'm sorry for suggesting you should open your eyes wider. I think you were credulous in your reading of Christian Cooper's comments after he and his sister ruined someone's life over a kerfuffle, but that has nothing to do with you being Asian. I love Asians, in fact. One of my favorite races. My old Korean classmate from my karate days texted me recently to check in. He's a good guy, and we still consider each other "brothers in the dojo". Maybe we'll both get back into it after the lock downs (we met up at a reunion last year).
Pavel's not bad. He's gotten into barbells in recent years, but kettlebells are good too. I was going to buy one recently, but the weight I was interested in was sold out.Replies: @Twinkie
Come on now, if you are going to apologize, do it for real. Don’t retconn. I don’t care if you found Judo entertaining or not (I find soccer boring as heck, but that’s me). What I had a problem with was you, after having practiced Judo casually for a couple of years as a child, pronouncing world-class athletes performing it “sloppy” – like you were some sort of a phenomenal athlete. And it turned out you were not all that, but a rather obese guy (albeit a pretty strong one judging from the weight-lifting video).
That’s what “offended” me. Unlike you, I was a nationally-competitive Judoka when I was young (which, internationally, doesn’t mean much because the U.S. is hardly a Judo superpower). But I know, personally, what kind of incredible athletes those guys at the Olympics are and what kind of grueling preparation, training, and sacrifice they make to get there. I was just bothered by some fat guy on the Internet criticizing them.
But you knew this already. I explained it to you several times. I get the feeling you are acting contrite now, because you looked like a racist asshole from earlier comments. Rather like your hero Amy Cooper’s fake “apology” of “To everyone who saw the video, I apologize,” which is just another variation of that ridiculous standard format these days of “IF you were offended, I am sorry.”
Yes, yes, I too have a friend who is black.
Back 20 years ago, Pavel was light years head of most fitness gurus in the U.S. – he actually emphasized functional strength and high range of mobility and strength at the end of the range of motion, all of which helped me greatly with athletic performance (rather than looking good). I contacted him then and he gave me excellent advice (all for free) though I did buy several of his books eventually (on my own). So I forgive him even his fake story about being a Spetznaz trainer.

As for saying African American, race is the first question the dispatchers ask, then clothes, then size then age.

I was under the impression that people in NYC are all pretty much living together by choice. I chose to live in a county that is less than 1% black, partly for the reasons you mention, but New Yorkers clearly have other priorities.
The woman wasn’t afraid of the guy at all. She was angry, and wanted to put him in his place. Not because he was black, but because he pointed out that the rules applied to her, too.
In my mind she’s just like the crazy neighbor who threatened me with the police recently for telling her to quit honking her horn. A lot of women use the threat of the police to get their way. I’ve seen it over and over in all sorts of circumstances in the US.
I don’t think women should not have the right to call the cops, but if they lie when they do so they should be arrested. The woman accused the guy of threatening her and her dog, but he wasnt. People can be arrested for threats. If she said that to the cops, he could be locked up on false charges. It’s only fair that she be arrested and sent to jail if she committed the crime of falsely accusing the man.
Likewise for the neighborhood honking lady I had to deal with the other day. After she sat blaring her horn over and over on a balmy evening while everyone’s windows were open, I got up, walked over to her car, and asked her to please stop it. She promptly accused me of harassment and threatened me with police. Who is harassing whom? She was harassing the entire neighborhood, and there she was threatening to accuse me of a crime she was committing herself!
This really isn’t about race. It’s about a certain subset of women abusing the considerable power society has given them. Calling the police is kind of like pulling a gun. There are situations where it’s warranted, and then there are situations where it isn’t. Wounded pride is, absent other injury, not a good reason, but it’s far from rare for women to call the cops for that alone.
It reminds me of an incident just the other day, when my 5yo was playing with a neighborhood girl at my place. She’s a nice girl, a pleasure to have over, and a good playmate for my kid. So I’m sitting in the living room reading, and the girl comes out of my son’s room saying she has to tell me something. I ask her “what’s the matter?” And she tells me that my son made fun of her spelling. So I took her back to the room, asked the boy whether he did this, and then had him apologize while reminding him that he wouldn’t like it if I did that to him.
This is totally normal little kid stuff. Cute, even. But at a certain point in life, daddy isn’t there to mediate these things. You’re on your own, and it’s time to act like a grown-up. This means, among other things, that you’d better have a good reason when you call on armed men to intervene on your behalf. Hurt feelings don’t quite clear the bar anymore.

I didn’t say that those judokas were “sloppy ”, and I made no comment about the appearance of judokas. I said high level judo often looks sloppy and terrible. That’s an opinion of mine, which appears to be widely-shared, given how I have more than a dozen sports channels showing everything from snowboarding to soccer and don’t recall ever seeing judo on one of them outside of the Olympics. You are entitled to disagree with that opinion, and even take offense at it, if you like, but at least try to understand what I wrote, rather than getting worked up about something ridiculous that I didn’t say (that the best judokas in the world were terrible; by definition, if they’re the best, they’re not terrible).
I shouldn’t have made a comment that could be construed as a racial joke; I’ll concede that, even though – let’s be honest here – it was pretty mild by the standards of this site. As far as being worried that I “look like a racist asshole”, that sounds like projection on your part. What are your “heterodox ideas” after all, than things that would get you called “a racist asshole” where you work?

Widely-shared by whom? Could you please cite a source in which commentators say “High level Judo often looks sloppy and terrible”? Anything remotely resembling that sentiment should suffice.
If you were an honest interlocutor, you would remember that I told you why that is so. Judo is a niche sport in the U.S. It is, however, very popular in Asia and Europe (indeed, France has more registered Judo practitioners than Japan, the origin country, does, and the Judo Grand Prixe in Paris draws packed crowds and a big TV audience).

My heterodox views are that, simply put, there are demographic differences, some cultural, some inherited, among different groups of people and that they are worth studying.
I don’t know what McDojo you went to as a child, but when you train where there are Olympians, even small children have “washboard stomachs.”
See this video at about 0:28 mark. That’s what an elite Judoka looks like:
You wouldn’t realize that he has a physique like that when he has his Gi on.
As I mentioned before, my eldest son is a top-level junior Judoka and BJJ competitor. Ever since he was about seven, when you hugged him, his body felt like a boulder. He doesn’t have a six-pack – he has an eight-pack and muscles growing on top of muscles – all without having done any weight-lifting. And he has incredible functional strength (he can do squats while balancing himself on a stability ball, then fall backward, flip over the ball, and land on the ground on his feet). But that’s not surprising since he’s been manhandling another, fully-resisting, human being his size (and sometimes heavier) for a couple of hours everyday since he was a toddler.
Competitive Judokas, along with wrestlers, are probably the second functionally-strongest group of athletes, pound per pound (the first being gymnasts).
None of this matters, because you don't argue honestly. You don't address the substance of what I wrote and keep oozing around it like Jell-O on the wall, the prime example being:Yes, and my opinon on that is that you are ill-informed and that it is particularly galling coming from someone who looks like he is going to have a heartattack after running a mile. How about this?

I'd love to be able to post a picture of you, in all your bulbous glory, next to the above video with a caption, "Nah, I took a couple of years of Judo in junior high school. These guys are slopply and terrible."This is the kind of a thing that gives me a full measure of you as a person. Fake-apology combined with a caveat that, really, the apology isn't necessary, but you are doing it anyway, because you are the bigger (pardon the pun) man.Yeah, that oozes with sincerity.I am not an asshole, because I don't make fun of other people's races or any inborn trait over which they had no choice or control.
