re: Video of white woman calling cops on black man in Central Park draws outrage

In the original tweet where the video was shared it says that he asked her politely to leash her dog, so an exchange does appear to have happened before the filming.

Ok, so at what point and why do you believe he found it necessary to start filming, do you believe he thought his life was in danger?

No I’m saying actions have consequences.

His actions.

Clearly to show how absolutely absurd her behavior was over being asked to follow the rules.

Since when is filming in public illegal? And more importantly why is that what bothers you the most and not the fact that this woman called 911 to falsely report a crime?

You're probably a lot younger than me, and I believe that filming someone will only escalate the situation. Yes, she was in the wrong, yes she acted ridiculously. In my opinion this could have all been avoided if he just talked to her like a human being. We're going to have to agree to disagree. Also, take into consideration the detrimental effect this will have on this woman's life, shes probably more liberal than anyone on the board, and she will from here on out be considered a racist.

Again, all signs point to them having a discussion prior to the filming. What was said? We don’t know.

Agree to disagree

I'm more or less trying to make sense of why he has chosen this particular hill to die on.
