Yes. That's what I do.

It's what you are doing.

- white men present firearms to a black man, and you say 'they didn't threaten his life', taking the white males explanation for their actions. In reaching this conclusion you ignore the black males fear for his life - his zig zagging , trying to avoid being shot
Actually I'm not. I recognize their culpability in creating the situation, and I think they are guilty of manslaughter for the death arising from the situation that they created.
But you are refusing to recognize this woman's fear after this guy said that she wasn't going to like what he was about to do and then tried to lure her pet away from her.
vikorr wrote:- black man say a very vague threat to a white woman, and you say he threatened her life, not taking the black males explanation for his words/action.
She had no access to this explanation (and no reason to believe it even if she did have access to it) when she called the police.
vikorr wrote:In reaching this conclusion you ignore the white female's lack of fear for her life
That's because she didn't lack fear. Her fear was just as genuine as the fear of the jogger in Georgia.

She wanted him to go away and stop menacing her.
vikorr wrote:This is pointing out that you are engaging in a one eyed viewpoint.
Except it is you who is doing this, by refusing to look at how it might come across to someone when a stranger says he is about to do something and they aren't going to like it, and then tries to lure their pet away from them.
vikorr wrote:You will have to quote where you think I said that. For I did not.
Here are the parts where you accused her of racism for merely calling 911 when a black man said she wasn't going to like what he was about to do and then tried to lure her pet away from her:
"a racist rant by the girl."
"the white girls racist rant?"
"going on a racist rant"
"her racism"

Of course white people are capable of not attacking people.
vikorr wrote:The one that I was defending saying she shouldn't lose her job?
Yes.
That limited defense was nice of course. But supporting the false accusation of racism still supports the lynch mob that is using that false accusation to justify doing actual harm to her.
vikorr wrote:Which I've already said...but you said it was fact that he threatened to kill her. I've said you have no factual basis for that. Only interpretation.
Ok so it was interpretation.
It was a perfectly reasonable interpretation considering what a total stranger had just said to her, and it is in no way racist or wrong in any other way for her to call the police in such a circumstance.
I'd think you'd prefer a police call to just killing the guy where he stands.
The police can come, sort out what actually happened, tell the girl that she needs to use a leash (maybe even write her a ticket), tell the guy that it's really dumb to say something like that to a stranger, and have everyone go on their way.
By making it impossible for people to call the police in such situations, you are giving them no choice but to gun people down for
perceived threats.
