You deal with a lot of US cops there in canada? What are you basing this on?

per rules she should have had the dog on a leash. but the man also did warn her which could be perceived as a threat, which she said.

is her use of "African American" racist or a description.


with this story, I think Candace Owens has a point. there is often a lot of media/social media attention on these type of incidents where race was a factor or not, but not much attention to what she is talking about.

what she did was wrong..........but for cripes sake, how is she supposed to describe him? it wasn't that long ago it wasn't PC to say black...

But my point remains. No video, chances are this guy would have gotten another pass.

Possibly.

She probably should have said that a black man is politely asking her to put her dog on a leash at the park.

Does the RCMP have similar issues where their misbehavior goes unreported and shielded by the other mounties?

I don't care about the mounties/RCMP and neither should you.

PSD should expect better from moderators (plural).

the bold I agree with, but were her actions specifically because he was black? if a white man said the same thing, would she have also been afraid?

They should have thrown the stuff they stole in the lake.

not every altercation between white and black is race related....there are other reasons for her to be afraid

for that matter, people are assuming the cop in MSP is racist...we don't know that either

I get people issues with looting and rioting, but sometimes a few bricks need to go through a few windows. Yeah, the businesses had nothing to do with this, but if you you want your city to know it's on the verge of being lit on fire sometimes things need to get smashed up a bit. Sometimes it works.

Can't prove it, but I don't think she would have reacted the same way if the guy was white.

I also can't figure why a woman would be walking alone in the particular area of Central Park. But that is not germane as to what happened. It is a bit add though.

Yep, I can assure you she wouldn't be screaming hysterically over and over into the phone that a black man is threatening to assault her while he stands calmly 15 feet away holding a phone.

So if it was your home or business or car…you would be completely understanding because, as you said, "if you you want your city to know it's on the verge of being lit on fire sometimes things need to get smashed up a bit."

Right.

I'll believe it when I see photos of yoyr home or business trashed and you happily standing in front of it.

Keep us posted.

I'm not sure the logic follows. Me being excited about my property being damaged or destroyed has no bearing on whether looting and rioting can be a means to an end in relation to a social issue.

She was intentionally making it sound like a black man was endangering her life.

Because she was upset he wanted her to leash her dog.
