@browntom1234 @ZaidJilani @kmele "You're not going to like what I'm about to do" certainly *can* seen as threatening (body language is also a factor).
But I still can't quite get over her telling *Christian* (not the 911 dispatcher!) that she would tell the cops an *African-American male* was threatening her.

@browntom1234 @ZaidJilani @kmele With the dispatcher one can claim that she was merely describing the guy. But why say it to him? He certainly knows he's African-American.
@browntom1234 @ZaidJilani @kmele Sure sounds to me like she was trying to intimidate him by playing on the assumption that black males have a lot to fear from cops. You *could* argue that this doesn't necessarily make her racist, just willing to "weaponize" perceived societal racism. That's ... still not good.
@browntom1234 @ZaidJilani @kmele BUT that said, I still think the mob reaction was absurdly over the top. Talk about moral panic.
