Yeah, I'm OK with this.  This isn't a kid making prank calls, she made it pretty clear at the time she hoped the cops would harm him.

Good. It's called filing a false police report.

More of this please. Every white POS that calls the police for no reason should be hauled up on charges like this. Every goddamn one.

Yup.  She made a false report and misused 911 at the very least.  Do the crime do the time.

This needs to be heavily publicised to discourage this illegal activity.

I'd add attempted murder too. She knew exactly what the likely outcome of that encounter would have been.

A hundred years ago her stupid false accusation probably would've resulted in his death, all because she's a racist drama queen and an attention whore.

What took so long? Is the penalty a chance of being killed by the police, and if not, how is this proportionate?

Ever heard of SWATing?  This is how it is done.  Doesn't matter if you are a Karen or a "gamer" trying to get cops to shoot first and and ask questions later, it is SWATing.

/why do we have kill squads ready to attack via phone
//because this is the USA.  Of course we do
///this slashie thought about hiding, then decided to give up on fear

Well, she is unemployable so a year in jail wouldn't hurt her financially. A massive fine would. I hope the judge throws the book at her, and anything else that is not bolted to the floor.

Choking it repeatedly so she can call police with one hand without putting it on the leash as the birdwatching black man requested.

She won't. If this is her first rodeo she might get some community service and fines. I still think that dog should have been permanently removed. I suppose if she had kids they wouldn't be removed either though. Maybe they can spay her to prevent future litters?

They do. And I have enough intellectual curiosity to be willing to part with $4 a month to get world-class news and information from one of the best sources there is. And I'm a hillbilly from West Virginia.

I'll give you a gift subscription if you'd truthfully promise to read it daily.

Make that Karen fight other Karens in a cannibal thunderdome.  And make the karens keep fighting until they are eaten.  No regular food for them, except after each bout, the winner gets a single fast food size mustard or ketchup packet.  Their choice.  To flavor their dinner of Karen meat.

Problem solved.

so much for a sincere apology. Assuming you were being threatened, when he is just holding up a phone, is a really bad assumption
