'Birdwatcher' Will Not Participate in Prosecution of the Woman Who Called 911 on Him

What was the guys threat? Be specific.

 

Link?

 

Make me wonder if the black guy is a republican, because only a republican is not so thin skinned.

 

I have not seen where he admitted to threatening her.

 

Agree that it is not worth going to court. The prime witness is not supporting the prosecution so what is left to prosecute the phone.!

That poster didn't say that and that is NOT what happened.

Try facts....even if they aren't your friends...

I don't use "alternative facts"...

Uh, the bird watcher isn't the one charged...is that one of your "facts"...

Doncha wonder when ANYONE from the right will say one nice word about this man who isn't going to aid prosecutors?

Where did he threaten her? Real answer: He didn't.

He doesn't want to prosecute....that's nice of him....but NO righty will ever say that...


Oh , and WHEN has anyone hesitated to comment on someone even if they didn't "know him personally"....HILARIOUS!!! Who TF do you think you're kidding?

OMG that wasn't a stinkin threat. Man you talk about reaching, I don't care what the situation is you ALWAYS try and put the black man in a negative light. Totally disgraceful.

 

That's was a threat, she may have over reacted but the a woman alone in a wooded area and a man is getting in her face and threatens her....................yeah I can see why he doesn't want to cooperate. And yes you always try to put the white person in a negative light. He said he understood and she apologized, nothing more needs to be done.

 

The DA needs to drop the stupid charge if she is willing to apologize to the police dept for wasting its time on her silly complaint. That really is all that is left here. She has been punished enough. Let it go. If the DA decides to waste the court's time, his staff's time etc. on a case where even the 'victim' is sick of the drama, he will lose credibility with the court, no matter how it rules on the specifics of the case. This looks like grandstanding now.

 

""I reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about his intentions when, in fact, I was the one who was acting inappropriately by not having my dog on a leash," she wrote in a public apology.

"When Chris began offering treats to my dog and confronted me in an area where there was no one else nearby and said, 'You're not going to like what I'm going to do next,' I assumed we were being threatened when all he had intended to do was record our encounter on his phone."


See, no threat to her.... Thanks!

 

I do agree, I think the lady was wrong, but this case against her is not going anywhere

basically what the DA is saying, is that the police are so dangerous to citizens, that she put this mans life at risk by calling the police... if that is true, some police retraining is in order

 

If she had simply obeyed the rules and kept Fido on the leash there would have been no conflict. I think.

 

The irony of how this sounds almost exactly like "if he had simply obeyed the rules/law... there would have been no conflict with the police" seems to be lost on people. Chris Cooper was basically acting like a vigilante cop.

I think he was clueless at the time how intimidating and creepy his actions came across, but he felt entitled to bully someone he perceived to be weaker than himself who wandered into his space and didn't follow the rules of that space. Pretty much the very definition of what a "Karen" supposedly is, no? But we all know that he and sister Melody were using a different definition of a "Karen" when they labeled her with the name. Yes we do.

 

That's BS, he didn't threaten her. Talk about trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat, when did he get in her face?

 

As I said before, a case like this will typically end with a stipulated plea of guilty (sorta guilty but things happen and it disappears from the record after a period of time) pay a fine and move on. The prosecutor at this point has to do it that way if they want to make it clear that such behavior is not tolerated. Calling emergency people to respond quickly is dangerous for them not to mention wasteful and means they are unavailable to respond to a real emergency. That's why it's illegal. It always warms my heart when I see an emergency vehicle hit it's brakes and a cop sees the idiot that failed to yield.
Bird watcher is not the plaintiff, never was, he is a witness only, it's the city vs this lady.

 

Just to make it quite clear, when you ring emergency services to report an emergency, that call is recorded and can be used as evidence. When that person makes a false report, fines, time or even both, are the remedy.

This is a good thing. It acts as a deterrent for those who would send police on a goose chase, leaving at least two fewer police on patrol.

In this particular case, because the woman has experienced significant consequences, she should only receive a fine.

 

Very good point.

That obviously insecure and maybe special needs woman was in the wrong, not him.

Her life, as I understand it was turned upside down as a result-she lost her dog, her highly lucrative career, and probably her social circle. Im not saying I agree with all of that but its what happened.

And on top of that you had the china flu.

Im a tall strong male who enjoys bird watching. As in I will hike miles into remote areas to find and document them. I've met women back there who were hiking, jogging, or riding horses and some are initially scared (imo). I get why.

When I hand them a bird book, or pair of binoculars they will march me to the last place they saw those birds and are very excited to do so.

Sometimes they show me butterflies or other bugs that I don't care about but they do look good in a decent pair of binoculars.

Nature is amazing and I hope to get to central park one day to watch those birds.

 

You have to love people who claim the woman was threatened when even she doesn't claim that. Sort of makes you wonder why (well, only in some cases. Some are pretty clear).

 

just another white rich entitled racist liberal in NYC and a liberal DA playing cb politics with a African American victim

 

He is not the victim, he is the witness. The police, taxpayers and the city are the victims.
Thankfully the police who responded were the good guys as most police are, had it been one of the bad cops then he could have been a victim.
