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 …

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

If she is charged, it’s only because of the “online mob” that it will happen.

Good point, I think people can simultaneously complain about both. Point well taken, this is basically swatting (false report/manipulating LE as a tool against someone/potential bad outcomes). Ppl can also say doxxing/organic brigading isn't the right tool b/c of of downsides.
