Amy Cooper lost her dog, her anonymity, and her job at the investment firm Franklin Templeton after calling the police over an incident with a bird-watcher in Central Park.

to resemble a wild garden. With its rocky outcrops and thick canopy, the area makes for an especially inviting stopover for birds on their northward migration, he said.An avid birder since childhood, Cooper had been making daily trips in recent weeks to peek at the wildfowl stopping by for some refuge from the urban sprawl. In recent weeks, scarlet tanagers, ovenbirds, and the especially elusive mourning warblers had all sought out the avian oasis..

On a nearly daily basis, he had seen unleashed pooches digging up the soil, ruining the delicate habitat and disturbing the birds. He had often asked unaware owners to restrain their pets, sometimes on camera, he said, and he carried around some dog treats for this very purpose. Monday morning was no different.Around 7:30 a.m.

Female privileges trumps black man's privilege every time except where there's video evidence. MeToo

She looks like a typical Karen.

Reminds me of every corporate female boss I’ve ever worked for or had the misfortune of knowing about. Why are white women who are given so much or even those who worked for their positions so angry and full of rage?

MAGA!

It’s more than “called the police”.

Amerikkka 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Amy Cooper is her name
