Here’s the video. How is this not a crime? She’s faking to the police that she’s in danger from a black man who’s clearly trying to avoid her. Also choking the dog! Prosecute these cases—it’s already a crime—and then let’s worry about the online reaction.https://twitter.com/melodymcooper/status/1264965252866641920 …

I think there should be prosecutions. It’s a crime, and potentially a felony. I’m not suggesting we solve these things by appealing to these people’s employers. What if they don’t care? Also need due process.https://twitter.com/epi853973422267/status/1265113166612058112 …

That’s not what I’m saying. The way to make progress is for these crimes to be taken seriously and prosecuted. We get stuck on the online component when the bigger question is: why is there no legal accountability despite existing laws against fake reportshttps://twitter.com/robertwaldeck/status/1265112278938107907 …

I want the people whose job it is to investigate and prosecute such acts to do their job. With due process! Anyone bothered by the online reaction should asking why such acts are never prosecuted.

Yeah it is swatting-adjacsent. Needs to be taken seriously. And for people saying what about before? Fine. That’s why an investigation is good.https://twitter.com/octarinedragoon/status/1265115136286744578 …

News report says police came. For the rest? Let them investigate. The guy clearly looks like he’s trying to stay away from her. And she’s faking being in danger. But fine, let them investigate. https://twitter.com/lirrtraveller/status/1265119771764363269 …

Why only focus on the online part? Police came looking for "possible assault" because she faked being in danger—a black man suspected of *assault* with binoculars in his hand is a moment away from becoming a hashtag. This is swatting-adjacent. Swatters have had 20 year sentences.pic.twitter.com/2wi8LLBkSA

So the answer is to obviously sic millions of people on her. Because most certainly that will stop this. How about if so desired the victim asks the police to press charges. Does the victim want that here? Should that not be his choice?

And going after her job makes us all vulnerable to social media mobs for any reason, as corporations, their HR and CEOs are stupid and firing anyone for any reason is far easier than thinking. And now we've made sure she can't be hired again, we pay her food, housing, medical
