May 2020

of a woman in Central Park who is walking her dog off leash. A man asks her to leash her dog and she goes ballistic on him. He's very calm and asks her to keep her distance. Instead of putting the dog on the leash and walking away, she yells at the guy and then calls the cops, insisting (in a fake terrified voice) that she is being attacked by an African American man. I'm glad she has been outed and that they dog rescue took the animal away from her.
