    Karen was just being a 45 supporter thinking that they have the right to harass any black or brown person they think in not in the right place or area.

    The video starts with the masked woman approaching the Avid Bird Watcher and telling him to stop video taping her.

    The question begs why the Avid Bird Watcher started taping her.

    I speculate that Amy Cooper's initial response to the request to put her dog on a leash "triggered" the Avid Bird Watcher.

    I'm not HANGING with any of these Coopers.
    I dislike people that don't leash their dogs, way too many aggressive strays that can hurt those dogs that are being walked w/o a leash. I dislike bird watchers, there I said it, what is this, Alcatraz?
    .
    I think in her head she was so angry, upset that she didn't know she was harming her dog with that leash. Especially after the birdman of central park tried to lure her dog with biscuits. I had this one passer by try to give my dog some food without asking me and I wanted to go Teapot O'brien on him.

    Definitely should have been fired for the prejudice as she was talking to the cops but to permanently take her dog away? Maybe for a month then after some classes get him back.
    The right move would have been picking up her dog, don't even stop to leash it and run the hell out of there and avoid birdmen or birdwomen.

    Two Karens don't make a right.

    I didnt watch whole video , I stopped when lady because hysterical so I didn’t watch much .

    obvious situation is obvious . Good on the cops not to **** it up .

    She should prolly lose her job unless she is absolutley fantastic at it and the company can’t replace her . I don’t care about public shaming , but she’s clearly having a breakdown that a dude asking her to leash a dog prompted that response .

    That maybe because they think for themselves and don't follow him blindly.

    I didn’t know bird watching was a thing. I thought it was just a joke on tv.

    Anyways, being a Karen should be a felony.

    Certainly Trump encourages this type of behavior amongst his supporters

    75% of America.... “Look at that poor dog, being abused. She should lose her dog. Why was that black man bird watching? Is he gay? Can you imagine a gay black man? But back to that poor little dog.”

    ~ 90% of Howard Beach (predominately white middle class neighborhood in Queens) residents,
    " young black men looking for trouble in our neighborhood"



    Three young black men swere attacked by a group of white teenagers yelling racial slurs in Howard Beach.

    Earlier that night, the men were driving from Brooklyn to Queens, when their car broke down near Howard Beach.
    They walked several miles to a pizza parlor in Howard Beach, where they asked to use a phone to call for assistance.
    After being told there was no phone available, they ordered some pizza. When the men left the pizzeria, they were confronted by the gang of teens.
    One of the Black men was chased into traffic on the Belt Parkway and died after being hit by a car.
