People complain about the social media “mob” (and there are issues) but the core problem here is that even after such videos, people like her aren’t ever prosecuted. It’s clearly a false and malicious report, a crime, and it seems like she’s trying to get him “killed-by-cop.”https://twitter.com/NYDailyNews/status/1265090833138810881 …

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. (Erik Garner was only selling loose cigarettes ). https://twitter.com/pinkerite1/status/1265116004419547137 …

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

Isn’t a huge part of the online rage because of the fact we know she won’t be prosecuted? We know we have to act for her to face consequences. We know the law won’t take care of it.

After the Covington disaster we should at the very least ask what happened before the clip which is released to twitter. A prosecutor will have to, because there isn’t enough in those 69 seconds to convict anyone of anything.

Yes, investigate the crime. But this is about insidious racism that POC have never had the luxury of ignoring. Now it's out on full display, and her behavior should be publicly shamed to the fullest extent.https://twitter.com/frissonoriented/status/1265120435391299586?s=20 …

Who is Dom accountable to? Voters? No. Parliament? Already in contempt. His boss? Apparently not. If this had been handled via proper channels there wouldn't still be such outrage.
