Exactly. Nothing says “I’m being threatened” like physically approaching the other person, having enough time to make a phone call, having enough time to clearly and without panic explain your situation (twice), and stand completely undeterred the entire time while this old dude just stands there with his phone out. She was dead set on weaponizing her privilege in the form of a swarm of police officers from the onset.
Oh, so he's officially a daddy, then?

So when is this quarantine over in NYC and how cheap do y'all think tickets to NYC will be?
That Twitter thread is a must-read IMO. Thank you for sharing it, and for sharing your own thoughts.

She weaponized race so quickly to potentially fatal ends for a very minor reason.
Her feigned fear was so deliberate and seemingly practiced.
There has to be a larger acknowledgment that “protecting white women” has been an excuse for violent murders and riots for literally centuries in this country.
And without video evidence, it realistically could have gotten that far. Police are trained to brutalize black Americans throughout the country.
This one woman being fired isn’t enough for me.
Police are encouraged by way too many Americans to be a force against specifically black Americans. And then use disproportionate statistics to justify the mistreatment.
And people more worried about the dog than the extreme & ongoing militarization of police against black people being so casually weaponized are part of the problem.
Right on. She wanted to make sure she sounded "distressed" on that call.
Whoa! He worked at Marvel! He’s incredibly cool in every way.
To think that Candace Owens is rigorously trying to craft a "he was no angel" narrative around this dude.
There's certainly a lot of white privilege with Karens, they're using their power as white women to be entitled to shit so even if not calling the cops on black people, there's definitely race involved.

I love that people in the comments are pointing out the irony of this coming from De Blasio. Dude is in charge of the NYPD and has done fuck all to curtail the culture behind it which contributed to this mess in the first place.
I was waiting for the alt right twist on this and it’s here
“Actually she was a liberal and donated money to Obama”
No I’m not making this up

White Woman Is Fired After Calling Police on Black Man in Central Park
Video of the incident touched off intense discussions about the history of black people being falsely reported to the police.
Alrite this guy annoys me now, he is/we are blessed. He seems a better man than I.
Should be the new Captain America...

I was ambivalent for a second at first because on he shouldn’t have to be so amazingly perfect to be a victim of a generic callous racist white person, but it gives me so much life knowing all these assholes are gonna break their noses walking into that wall.
This might also finally give pause to the “dress better”, “be a model minority” people who think that couldn’t happen to them. I genuinely wish it opens their eyes.
cant wait for the judge to hug her

Obviously she's a huge weirdo - as people who know her have pointed out - but on repeat watches one of the weirdest things about her is the speed she approaches him at. She's almost running at him.
Always some motherfucker trying to ice skate uphill.

This is on point and why White liberals can be just as, if not more exhausting to deal with than conservatives at times.
I'm not glad this woman got fired—I wouldn't wish that on anyone in this economy—but the Universe is fair and she got what was coming to her. Fuck everything about her behavior. In addition to being fired, she should also have to attend classes or workshops to address her racism.
Yup, as soon as “African-American man” came out, I had to shut the video off before I got too heated. This is the sort of racism that comes from years of vile, horrid shit churning away in her brain that has been bursting at the seems to get out and this guy confronting her was the perfect outlet for her to let it fly. Glad she’s fired. Glad it’s on video forever.
Also I heard that her graduate school may respond to her action.
I want him to be the Thugger to my Durkio
As if he “he’s gay!” isn’t enough to rile her and that crowd up.
I think I’m in love?
This why time and time again on here a lot of y’all piss me off by acting like this shit only happens in the “South” or “red” states, like living in a “blue” state with a bunch of would be 3rd term white Obama votes would some how create a safe space for my black ass. It’s insulting when y’all bring politics into black people getting treated like garbage by white folks. Racism doesn’t have a party line...
lmaooooo I know you took an L and got banned, but I hope you're not implying he would have gotten off scot free if not for this recording. A "helpless" white woman crying to the cops about being attacked by a black man? You bet your ass he's not coming out unscathed. As a black man I can't even both watching all of the video. It's scary as hell that people can get away with this shit with minimal consequences. She could have ruined his life.
We shouldn't probably give a single thought about what candace owens does tbh.
