The video of an altercation on Monday between a white female executive and a black man in Central Park went viral almost immediately. Within 24 hours, the woman was out of a job.

The woman, an employee of Franklin Templeton, is seen calling the police on her mobile phone saying: "There is an African American man, I am in Central Park. He is recording me, and threatening myself and my dog." The man had earlier asked her to leash her dog in the wooded area of the park, called the Ramble, according to his account.
