    I’m not going to defend what she did. She was to have the dog off leash, and she was wrong to call the Police with the emphasis she did. I do however think saying “if you’re going to do what you want then I’m gonna do what I want” would rightfully scare anyone. That was a really weird thing to say. She’s still wrong, but I can’t imagine that didn’t escalate her reaction.
