At @essnet this yr there was a talk abt racism in the -owner . one of the pts was how many White owners use them to intimidate Black ppl in parks & claim common spaces as theirs (like breaking leash rules). He checked her, so she weaponized the White & police call 1/ https://twitter.com/melodymcooper/status/1264965252866641920

I know this well as a runner, but it was something, to hear the talk. Had a runner near-run me over with his on a trail on 05/10, leash so loose, and pretending that he was the only one on said trail. We made eye contact & he didn’t acknowledge the moment. I told @UREssien 2/

Much thanks to @laurendolsen
