We're gonna have to live with whatever precedent this sets too. What if a white guy had done the same thing the black guy did, and it was a black guy's dog who was offleash like that?

As she said the dog was off leash because they'd closed off the dog walk part, it was a one off improv attempt to get her dog some exercise.

Do you have a source for this?

You mean White guy and Black woman? You can be damn sure that Black woman would make a giant stink. The White guy would be charged with the hate crime in that case.

    He threatened this poor woman. Who knows what that black man would have done to her dog? After all they do commit most of the crime in NY, she could have thought the black man was trying to steal her dog. Perfectly reasonable

    Yeah I agree that would be a problem. I also think it would be a problem if people who genuinely were feeling unsafe weren't able to call 911. I think the case needs to be tried fairly and justly weighing all the evidence. We're going to have to live with whatever decision is decided, either way.
