A white woman has lost her job after a video which showed her calling police to say she felt threatened by an African-American birdwatcher in New York's Central Park went viral.The woman also gave up her dog, after it suffered injuriesThe man, Christian Cooper, had politely asked Amy Cooper, who is no relation, to put her dog on a leash while walking on Monday.
The pair were in the Ramble — a spot popular with birdwatchers, and where dogs must be leashed at all times.Ms Cooper told the Harvard graduate she would phone police and tell them "there's an African-American man threatening my life" after he began filming her on his phone.
Such a racist and disgusting act. Unless rhe human race starts to care for each other & ALL lifeforms (animals, birds etc) and the planet, then we are doomed ! We MUST get our shit tigether before it is too late!
A new Karen case just reported in
BS. Nice try tossers
Why couldn’t she put the dog on leash?
why do apologies say 'any offence'. It was offensive, don't qualify or diminish it
Interesting how you choose to racialise him as an ‘African American’ and her as simply a ‘woman’. Your bias in framing this narrative speaks volumes 👏
I bet she’s a Trump supporter, certifiably insane 😂😂😂
none taken...
Who subbed it in the first place? Farrrrrr out.
Auto-tweeted? Yeh GTFO.
Sorry for any offence caused? Why not just sorry?
Yeah bullshit it was, Assflower.
Wow well done revising this headline. I held no hope you would respond.
‘Auto-tweeted’ ? ABCmediawatch KennyOnMedia
Wonderful ABC will only stay wonderful if they focus on accurately reporting facts. This one was an easy one.
Just another ABC f up
An apology isn't good enough. Not even close.
Do you mean it was an auto scheduled Tweet? A human still wrote the initial Tweet, right?
I am so surprised to see such hate in one human towards another for no reason and how dare she calls the police on an innocent Afro American male for doing nothing. She seriously has a very severe mental illness to behave in such an appalling manner.
I’m glad it caused offence. Every time a liberal gets upset it helps the world become a better place.
What is auto-tweeting? Does that remove a human from the process?
'Auto-tweeted' Yeah Right! This is what happens when ABCNews actually hijacked by Women brigade! bevvo14 stephendziedzic welcome back mate
What's this 'auto tweeting' you speak of?
this one is not much better . you could say she falsely reported to police
“inappropriate” ain’t the word for it, chief. And you need to change the headline.
Traaaaaaaaaaash apology
Yes a full blown racist. What a vile nasty person. She could have cost this man his life fabricating a fake attack. I hope she was charged?
What a disgusting person. She had no concern for the impact her actions could have had on this gentleman.
Spoilt Precious White Woman Should be Fined for Threatening Whithout Proper Cause and have to Pay Damages
could the lie be any more obvious? 'auto-tweeted' okaaaaay but someone still wrote and published the article for it to be tweeted? she threatened to have him killed by weaponising racist police against him for asking her to put her dog on a leash
'We apologise for any offence caused'? What a joke. You should be apologising for shoddy journalism. This is what corrupts people's view of all media when a flagship like the ABCaustralia automates clickbait. DoBetter DoYourJob
Great results
Go woke...
Is 'job keeper reporting error' an auto error too?
Clearly the lady has some mental issues!!
Bullshit.
mrbenjaminlaw Fixed your headline “Racist dog abuser gets cancelled on Twitter and loses her job and has dog confiscated as a result” your welcome
So next time a white woman feels threatened by a black man she should just not call in case racism?
What she did was stupid but losing her job is too much of a punishment. Unfair!
I suspect the 'racist' card is being overplayed here. She probably would have reacted the same if a white man had spoken to her—Speaking from experience as a white man.
mrbenjaminlaw Seems like Auntie Karen followed the NYT headline.
Auto-tweeted? Interesting..... G At least that's a possible genuine explanation for most of the crud coming out of the ABC lately....
..the ABC world is a weird, creepy existence
ABC owned up to their mistake and carried on with their day. Amy, on the other hand chose to play the victim and boo hoo on national TV.
You mean the abc is auto tweeting without checking. As bad as Trump's tweets that need fact checking.
the poor doggie.... yelping and bark crying, frantically trying to get in a normal position, because SHE IS CHOKING HIM WITH THE LEASH WHILE SHE IS FRANTIC OVER NOTHING. apologize to your dog, and us.
So far one tweet (Solo Monk) says the man's name is Christian Cooper. Other tweets identify her as Amy Cooper. Is there a typo in here somewhere, or is this a very strange coincidence?
I thought had committed to avoiding the posting of negative, inaccurate stories at the beginning of this year? Not doing very well on that front are you. This is the sort of garbage we expect from Murdoch’s rags tbh. Who the hell are you employing?
Very poor and the response is a cop out to be honest.
Computers don't auto-generated headlines last time I checked
This is a reminder to those Karen ‘s When you THREATEN and call the COPS on a POC for NO REASON at all then you need to be prepared to lose your JOB, CAR, HOME, PET & FRIENDS ect !! The internet is a wonderful weapon... StopRacism !!
Auto-tweeted Maybe better not to have a social media presence if you can't rely on the system not to 'cause offense'. Jeez.
Still not good enough. She committed a crime. On film.
Wow. Keep up the fight - don’t let the LNP infiltration destroy your integrity. So “auto” racism should not have the opportunity to become auto. Be vigilant please .
Yay!!
Yeah nah
mrbenjaminlaw Did anybody screenshot the original? I wanna see
Karens never prosper.
Stupid is scared of blackbirds too!
Pretty piss poor if you ask me
Except someone had to have written first before it was 'auto-tweeted'. Bollox
Tweets make themselves up?
'AuTo tWeEtEd' sounds like a load of hot cock.
We apologise for centering a privilged white women who'd lost her job whilst out casually walking her dog & trying to get a Black man killed. EnablingKaren AmyCooperIsARacist
The new headline isn't much better
Be better please
What a fuckin’ cop out
This is not an appropriate apology. The article headline is still inappropriate.
She got what she deserves , dont apologize
Modern-day policing in America is indistinguishable from the lynch mob apparatuses of yesteryear. Amy Cooper knew this.
whats an auto tweet ?
believeallwomen
. apparently your earlier headline focused on the welfare of the white perp? So, apart fr correcting the headline to more accurately frame the import of events, pls make sure you don't *keep on* making the identical mistake - not least inre Indigenous & other poc locally.
She got what she deserved. No sympathy.
This could have ended so badly for the man if the wrong cops turned up. I am so glad she no longer has that dog and surrendered it.
‘Auto tweeted’ ... what like ‘Juliar’ was a typo DO BETTER please
Karens everywhere were offended and wanted to speak to the manager
Dear God you are so bad at this.
ABC’s auto-tweet bot:
If two Karens Karen in a forest, does anybody hear? Yes. The whole f*cking world has to hear about it.
When Karens collide.
Don’t know what’s going on in that woman’s life rn. If she’s a fuck head then let her be. If her life’s a mess, then everyone cool their jets. Best avoid a pile on.
'Ms Cooper told the Harvard graduate she would phone police and tell them 'there's an African-American man threatening my life' after he began filming her on his phone.' 'Harvard graduate' This was an obvious setup. One of the parties and possibly two are paid actors.
Not to mention the cruelty to the tje dog
Not good enough,
Why is that woman not in jail awaiting trial for making false accusations to the police? Her victim was dead lucky the police didn’t shoot him.
These are his own words. He threatened to harm her dog.
One has to wonder how this story made its way into the international news cycle...
Im more incensed in the way she is handling that poor bloody dog!!!!!,
That was awful, ABC. 'Offensive' isn't it: it was wrong.
the woman just used her white privilege to do so,what an act of senseless racism.
good result
The correct title should have been ‘useless bitch uses white privileged knowing full well someone could have been killed’ and I thank you for addressing the flaw of not saying that.
This article was auto-tweeted with inappropriate text earlier today. We apologise for any offence caused. What did their ABC mean by this?
TheirABC playing identity politics backfires spectacularly …
And you wonder why people say defund the ABC . You’re lucky you don’t have to survive in the private sector, you wouldn’t last a week 🖕
Looks like a better outcome for the poor dog. And thankful the police didn't pin Christopher to the ground, and suffocate him. Oh, and Amy.. Well.
More like Fox news every day. You've veen murdoched. Shame on you.
this headline isn't much better. She wasn't being threatened. So why would you frame it from her perspective? Here's an alternative 'Woman fired after falsely accusing African-American birdwatcher' or 'Birdwatcher asks woman to leash her dog, she calls the cops on him'
really...you employ clementine_ford
Auto tweeted. What a sad lame excuse. Auto typed, auto BS
Inappropriate text? What? That she was fired? FFS. She could have got that man jailed or possibly murdered.
Still NO !! How about “African American bird-watcher verbally assaulted by an hysterical over-privileged racist.”
Yeah nah.
Abc has posted this race baiting tweet 3 times.
Why are white ppl like this so evil why
Racism is ALIVE AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE.
Woman attempts murder by cop would have been better.
Why is auto tweeting 🤔🥴
Umm if you click on the link it still says white woman.
Imagine only losing your job after trying to organise a 'hit' on another human. That's helluva white privilege. AmyCooper ChristianCooper
Leftists are so pathetic.. Hilarious fail by the ABC
Reading replies to news articles on Twitter is a great pre-workout!
And I bet this Harvard Graduate is a Racist Democrat !
Another Karen suffers a public shaming
Auto tweeting. Without fact checking really, is this what journalism has become. Disgraceful.
the title needs to be reworked something like'women who set dog loose illegally in restricted area unnecessarily and needlessly called the police when politely asked to leash the dog because she knows cops are more likely to use excessive force on an African-American'
She knew the cops could have killed him - she preferred that to putting her dog on a leash.
'Offence'?! - what was tweeted was FACTUALLY INCORRECT - fix the content and the clear racist algorithm you are using. Here's the clip if you need it
Calling the police on a Blackman could have costed him his life. Why didn't you focus on the fact that her phone call could have been a death sentence for Mr. Christian Cooper - and the fact that this racist woman knew this? That's how cruel & wicked this whole sorry saga is.
Look she is a douche. But is it a firing offence? Counselling and suspension maybe. But firing?
Always 2 sides to story. The guy called Christian made menacing comments to her and she reacted badly. “I’m going to do what I want, but you’re not going to like it.” What sicko says that to a girl alone in the park 😱
Why was he filming her in the first place? Was she abusing the dog? The dog was lying on the ground but I couldn't see her doing anything untoward. Maybe the recording started too late.
This isn’t a lot better
The term 'Karen' isn't race specific, a Karen can be any colour.
Conflicting narratives - pushed the sexism angle rather than the racism angle? Sometimes it's hard to get it right.
Result. Clarky94AFC1
Ok. What about Pascoe?
👀
karenricks She sounds hormonally disturbed in the head. That poor dog was in pain and in stress, this woman should be arrested for animal abuse!
This is about taking responsibility for your actions, apart from the obvious tragic way this could have played out. Sign says, dogs on leads, sign says 50 kph, keep social distancing. 'Does this apply to me ?' Then you're held to account, so you cry victim or attack.
'Auto tweeted', so no checking the story, sources, evidence, anything?
I feel I want to be an ABC viewer today. I am offended. Sack the board. Sack the staff. Shut down the website. cutfundingtotheABC
Fake news ABC
Oh.
She must not have realised he was recording her or something because
Amy Cooper is a racist white woman. She has just been fired from her job in Franklin Templeton. racistamycooper amycooper racist franklintempleton
So it’s worse. The headline on the actual article was stupid.
Don’t sweat it ABC. I mean compared to her actions...
the irony is that the man was asking her please dont come near me
Headline to the story 'woman fired' is weird. Why is that the takeout? Surely it's that she put the man's life at risk by making false accusations? Video shows she was under no threat from him, and enough stories around at the moment about how police deal with African-Americans
Is it potentially offending that needs apologising for? I didn’t see one comment of anyone being offended. It was for the headline creating a victim out of someone potentially creating a recurring dangerous situation to another.
Naaaaaaah
Yes it helps to put some content around your tweets also is 'White woman' a correct term? Caucasian woman maybe
Guess which one got the most media coverage
So your bots are writing headlines and articles?
I hope the dog is ok, and goes to a better home!
Moral of the story - don't be a dick.
Damn I missed it 🤣
Just happened to auto-tweet the term 'white woman' huh? LMAO
Amy Cooper (the woman's name) has lost her dog and her job over this incident. And she is the subject of social media opprobrium. I would rate her a high suicide risk.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
