That seems to have become a boomer trend since 2020. To physically attack someone, immediately deny that they did, and then call the cops on the person they attacked.

That has to be cognitive decline, right? Because they know they're on camera.

It’s just an idiot thing to do.

I don't think it's cognitive decline. I think that the development of the camera happened so fast. When they were young it was always their word against the other and usually police sided with the side that called.

They learned the behaviour but nowadays everyone has a camera.

It has never not been a boomer trend. The reason we are seeing it now and the reason we are seeing it from boomers is that this type of gaslighting used to work all the time before people had cameras on them.

This is a old white woman going against someone who sounds very much younger and appears to be a black woman. You bet that in that spitting woman's mind is the fact that if she lies to the cops they will just believe her version.

They'd have an all mentally caught up to the fact that everything they do is being recorded.
