Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her dog on the leash.

Karen called the police cause someone bird watching while a black man politely asked her to follow the rules. That shit might get him killed. Literally. What is wrong with these racist fuckers?!?!

Oh! Wait!

1. Good fucking grief. That's just appalling. I would

lllllllove to know what happened when the cops showed up. What a ridiculous, precious snowflake.

26. We don't dox people on DU.

I recommend you self delete that.

27. Last week I found out the name of the 2 women who had those horrible racist signs and posted

it here and no one complained. I think in these cases where there is overt racism it is good to call people out. If they are made responsible for their actions they may change them. Otherwise ...nada.


btw the school where the one woman worked tweeted out that she was no longer an employee there. I don't know when she lost her job but they wanted people to know she didn't work there.

IDK ???

28. It's a strict rule in the DU TOS.

Do you know how many times the wrong person gets named? Its shocking really. Just because someone is named in a Twitter thread does not mean it is correct. People have been harmed over such mistakes.

2. The guy should call the ASPCA on her!

[skylucy]

3. Yes! The way she was treating her dog was terrible!

[Evergreen Emerald]

37. I agree!

She was dragging the dog around by the collar, with the front feet off the ground, strangling it! When it yelped, she finally let go, but honestly, that was awful.

Her behavior all around was just unacceptable.

[sprinkleeninow]

4. she's more concerned with being called out and her poor dog is choking from how she's

restraining him.

I have nothing further to add....

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

5. She doesn't deserve a dog

I thought she was going to strangle the poor thing😪

[dem4decades]

6. Somehow the "he's recording" and the "he's threatening " don't go together.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Yeah, right?

[NameAlreadyTaken]

7. The way she handles the dog...

Poor doggie. She clearly doesn't care about the dog at all.

[StarryNite]

8. He was recording a case of animal abuse.

[CaptYossarian]

13. And filing a false police report.

Being the "least racist person" you know isn't saying much.

Who does she know?

[smirkymonkey]

9. Even her own dog hates her!

What a racist b**ch! What is wrong with her? I can't believe this is NYC!

Just an FYI, it's the Ramble, instead of the Bramble (I realize that is the Twitter poster's mistake, not yours). Sorry, don't mean to be so picky, but just wanted to make sure people knew what area the poster was talking about.

It's a beautiful area of the park. Very wild and natural, even though it's pretty much man-made.

[Laelth]

10. What a witch!

I am so glad that her behavior was recorded. It saved an innocent man from going to jail.

11. Good G-_d.

Pure dog abuse. It should be rescued.

[vercetti2021]

12. What a bitch

Seriously treating the dog like that and being racist on top of that. Good grief Karen's are losing control left and right

[CaptYossarian]

14. Good thing it wasn't a black lab.

[Tipperary]

21. Lots of other words you could use to describe that awful person.

Just sayin’.

[LizBeth]

22. One would think a person would be aware using a sexist slur to call out racist behavior.

[vercetti2021]

41. Seriously

That's the take away? She mistreated an animal and put a black mans life in danger. I use that against anyone. Not women. Both genders can be the B word.

[LizBeth]

42. Seriously. I have been able to have all kinds of conversation about the event. I stand by my point.

[vercetti2021]

43. I respect your point

[StarfishSaver]

32. Actually, it's the other way around

Seriously putting a black man's life in danger and abusing the dog on top of that ...

[brooklynite]

16. Um there's no "bramble" in Central Park

It's " The Ramble".

[Tipperary]

20. Thank you.

I wondered about that.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. She's abusing her dog.

[StarfishSaver]

33. She's putting a black man's life in danger

[secondwind]

18. She's choking the dog to death! What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StarfishSaver]

34. She didn't choke the dog to death, but she did put a black man's life in danger

I can't stand dog abuse, either, but falsely accusing a black man of assault is much more upsetting to me than the horrible way she treated her dog - and I love dogs almost more than I like people.

[Buzz cook]

19. Cocker Spanials are wonderful dogs.

I hope some of the doggy goodness rubs off on this lady.

[greenjar_01]

24. Gonna dip my toe into the pool here: something smells about this one

That is all.

[IronLionZion]

25. Which stage of Karening means choking your dog so violently?

Someone in that video is definitely a dangerous threat to that dog, and it isn't "the African-American man".

[WhiskeyGrinder]

29. The fact that the dog is getting more sympathy on this thread than the black man says a LOT tbh.

[StarfishSaver]

31. I was just thinking the same thing

I absolutely love dogs, but just can't with the "Yes, yes, it's a shame that white woman called the police and told them a black man threatened her. But the DOG!!!"

Seriously?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

35. Exactly. In a white supremacy, people are desensitized to racism, and animals get more sympathy

than BIPOC.

[StarfishSaver]

36. Yep ...

Her treatment of the dog did turn my stomach ...

But hearing her hysterical voice yell into the phone "An African American man is threatening me. Get the police here right away!" made me want to throw up. How many black men knew their lives were over as soon as they heard these words yelled by a white woman and knew there was absolutely nothing they could do to save themselves?

[Evergreen Emerald]

38. The first words out of her mouth were describing his race.

That was telling.

Your post really struck me. I had not thought of it in terms of putting his life in danger. I thought what she did was horrific, and criminal, but it did not occur to me that it could kill him. Terrifying.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

39. I know. And I'm sorry.

That hysterical 911 call and its historic equivalent have carried a lot more weight than they should have over the years.

[Luciferous]

30. She is the one who should have the cops called on her for choking that

poor dog!

[mnhtnbb]

40. Good grief.

What a pathetic woman. Mistreats her dog. How dare that uppity African American man remind me of the leash law! Doesn't he know I'm Princess White Twat?

[Gothmog]

44. The Animal Rescue has taken possession of Amy Cooper's dog.
