A hospital worker was accused of trying to steal an e bike from a black man in a viral video (in link). The hospital placed the nurse on leave after seeing the video.
Social media users were quick to chastise the NYC hospital employee, nicknaming her “Karen,” and questioning whether her alleged actions on the street reflect how she treats black patients.
One person chimed in, “This Karen needs to be locked up!”
Others noted that — if the man’s version of the story was true — similar situations in the past have placed black people in danger.
“She is deplorable. What she did is an act of violence and she should suffer consequences. Like this really pissed me off because we get killed over s–t like this.”
Some compared the woman to Amy Cooper, also known as “Central Park Karen,” who called the police on a black birdwatcher in 2020 and lost her job and a lawsuit over the incident.
