She didn't identify herself racially in her phone call, but made sure to identify (with false hysteria) the race of the man she (exaggerated) accused of endangering her.
As I said, the guy is a officious jerk, and I would like to know if he pulls this crap with guys. But that is no excuse for her actions. If this goes to any type of trial, I'll wager the guy is going to be put on the carpet as well. As to the woman's job.....she's a liability to that company, and they have the right to fire her. She can sue, but I doubt if she'll win.
Oh she'll win alright, even in the US you can't just fire people without some kind of due process. Anyway explain why he had doggy treats in his pocket but didn't have a dog. Yeh she was an arsehole as well but he definitely started it.
Dude, are you reading what I post? I've said twice now that the guy is an officious jerk, and I've said that if there's any type of trial, he'll be put on the carpet for his actions as well.
She was breaking the law, all he had to do after asking her to leash the dog is put in a call to park authorities if it bothered him so much. Unless the dog was attacking him, that's all he could do/report.
As to her being fired....any company can fire an employee for unbecoming/disruptive conduct. If it's in their rules & regulations, it can be done with a following letter of explanation or a pre-notice and reason (you have x amount of time to clear out your desk). It's done all the time. She can sue for unwarranted termination, but given the video record, I doubt the CEO's would have a hard time convincing a judge/jury that this is not the image of one of their VP's they want to present to the public.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
