Amy Cooper Falsely Accused Black Birdwatcher of Assault In Unreleased 911 Call
Latest

Amy Cooper—‘memba her? The white woman who went viral in a video around Memorial Day that showed her calling the cops on a Black man, birdwatcher Christian Cooper (no relation) after he politely requested she put her dog on its leash in Central Park’s Ramble, an area which requires dogs to be on leashes? “I’m going to tell them there’s an African-American man threatening my life,” she told Christian after he began filming her phone call to the NYPD. “He’s threatening me.” The threat, of course, was implied; Cooper’s race would be interpreted by the cops as a menacing detail. Now, well, she’s baaaaaack.
