, he explained that after Amy Cooper refused to leash her dog, he pulled out some dog treats he carries “just for such intransigence.”
“That’s when I started video recording with my iPhone, and when her inner Karen fully emerged and took a dark turn,” he wrote.As the video begins, she is holding her cocker spaniel Henry by the collar and alarmed that she is being recorded. She asks him to stop and approaches him with her arm up as if to block his camera.She threatens to call the police: “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” she says.
As her voices rises, she lifts her dog off the ground by his collar — because he’s still not leashed — and the dog yelps and thrashes. She begs for help in a faux hysterical tone, and it’s hard not to wonder what she’s thinking. Race has nothing to do with their run-in. Can she really be ignorant of the dangers of making a false accusation against a black man? She finally leashes Henry. Christian Cooper thanks her for doing so, and the video ends.
“It reminds me of the Emmett Till case,” said USC law professor Jody David Armour, who studies race and criminal justice. “A white woman who alleged that a 14-year-old black male had insulted her, had treated her in a way that somehow challenged the racial caste system, the racial hierarchy, and that seems like what could be going on here.”In 1955, Till was lynched by a white mob in Mississippi.

opinion 🐱💭hmmm. This behavior isn't exclusive to black men, these psycho dramas are played out in the workplace against Black woman. We must be conscious of this ploy to grind us to powder, for a career in entry level positions. (Angry Black Woman)
opinion Agree. She should be charged and imprisoned.
opinion Then people wonder why there seems to be an air of defensiveness when ignorance is encountered and exposed. Yet, that same ignorance seeks amnesty with an apology as more of an after effect and afterthought. AwakenAmerica StayWoke racism
