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

imo Cooper had every right to tell Karen what the rules are and to get her shet together.

 

We agree.

 

See threat in HER MIND AT THE TIME and yes that's a threat to me and I'm sure had you been her alone in that wooded area with a man getting in your face about your dog and then saying you're not going to like what I do next, that's a threat. What should she expect he was going to offer her a candy bar?

 

She did NOT put his life at risk, the only risk he would have faced would be due to his OWN acts, he told her TWICE to go ahead and call the police so he did not feel "at risk".

 

"you're not going to like what I do next" to you is a threat stop being obtuse and he was in her face approaching her trying to play vigilante cop, why do you complain when you accuse whites of doing so but not when a black guy does it?

 

It should be dropped totally, the two involved settled it between themselves.

 

"I assumed we were being threatened"

You gotta hate it when people don't get the facts straight. Sort of makes you wonder why.

 

"If you're going to do what you want then I'm going to do what I want. And you're not going to like it. Come here doggy".
The reason dude isn't participating is that his comment there, which he admits to making, can be construed as some form of threatening behavior toward herself or her dog. Not enough to charge him with, but enough for a call out to not be the most unreasonable thing in the world which it sorta has to be to catch the charge she's getting. He pretty obviously consulted a lawyer and the lawyer told him not to pursue it.

 

Except had the races been reversed then you would have had people here attacking him the white guy for playing vigilante cop and he should have minded his own business.

"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!

" a threat IN HER MIND" is NOT a threat... and it looks like the law thought so, too.

 

Her having the dog off the lease was acting inappropriately and she felt threatened and his statement to her and trying to get her dog from her was a threat.

So you think you are the law ???


I never saw him trying to get her dog from her....have to go Imagination Land to have any point at all ???

 

Personally I think ALL dickheads who let their dogs off the leash should be jailed.

 

he was the victim of racism by this white rich liberal but you are right about the city being victims of her alleged crime

 

Yea her life was really in danger. I wonder why he wasn't fired, why wasn't he charged with making threats.

 

Maybe because he's black and she is white.

 

new york is politically correct, socialist, and feminist.

too many competing interests for the welfare state at the moment.

 

I agree that would be true in my area as well, but the DA disagrees with us, so it must not be true in their area, the DA must see it as a risk to citizens if the cops are called - I see that as a police issue where more training is needed if true

 

Spread me the partisan publicity seeking DA isn't he in a tight run for reelection.

 

Nothing partisan about it, just stating the facts, if this da sees calling the cops as a danger to citizens, then he thinks cops are dangerous to his citizens

 

Well we know that is bogus.

 

Why do you know that is bogus? Blacks can get away with it and whites can't? That certainly seems to be what you always present.

 

The man encourage her to call the cops and she felt threatened and Vance is HIGHLY partisan as you well know.

""you're not going to like what I do next"

He said to her, she said she would call the police

“Please call the cops,” Christian Cooper says.

“There’s an African American man, I’m in Central Park, he is recording me and threatening myself and my dog. … Please send the cops immediately!” she says during the call before he stops recording.

Yep a woman alone in a secluded area of the woods might certainly feel threatened. Vance should stop grandstanding and drop all charges.

 

I just hope there aren’t more riots when the charge is either dismissed or she’s found not guilty.

 

yes, I agree with that, doesn't change the facts of what I said being true

I said the DA must think that sending the cops would endanger the citizen, that is why he is pressing charges against her right? seems that is a issue with the police there to me - why would the police harm anyone in a situation like that?

she may have been genuinely fearful, in that case she was right to call the cops, let the cops handle it - that is the way civilized society works - had she resorted to violence, that would be uncivilized

people call the cops, the cops check it out, if it's nothing, they should be able to determine that without violence themselves
