"Following our internal review of the incident in Central Park yesterday, we have made the decision to terminate the employee involved, effective immediately. We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton," the company said on Twitter.Amy Cooper was walking her dog Monday morning while Christian Cooper was bird-watching at a wooded area of Central Park called the Ramble.
""I didn't know what that meant. When you're alone in a wooded area, that's absolutely terrifying, right?" Amy Cooper said.Christian Cooper said he then pulled out dog treats. He told CNN he keeps dog treats with him to get dog owners to put their dogs on leashes because, in his experience, dog owners hate when a stranger feeds their dog treats and immediately restrain their dogs afterward.Amy Cooper said he was throwing them at her dog.
The dog can’t breathe at all and finally it starts squealing in agony because this white female owner is suffocateing her dog with its own leash!... it truly is disgusting to watch such abuse, such animal abuse!... Animal abuse! Animal abuse! Animal abuse!...
She ought to be arrested.
good riddance😂😂😂😂
There's always two,three or even five sides to a story😔...just lk how ppl were so quick to condemn Johnny depp without knowing Jack shit you shouldn't be so quick to judge
Looks like the dog is being strangled with her rage
We should all be thankful she politely addressed him as “African American Man” she could have said “Nigga”😁
Good.
I hate it when white people act this way. It is not representative of all white folks. She is one of the misguided individuals who was taught to have this attitude.
Good she’s done! Now the president!
She should be charged.
GabrielaPrioli a ambiguidade no 🇧🇷 entre direita e esquerda vai nos levar em atos assim.Uma mulher sente-se ameaçada sem motivo, chama a policia.É feita uma reportagem o afro americano faz um vídeo coloca no Twitter,a mulher é demitida por racismo e depois baleada.Inacreditável
How dare she say that,she`s a racist,I could not imagine what happened in US.
This why I hate ! Always about someone Losing their job !
Good...bloody racist!!!😡
I am glad they also took her pet away from her. She was strangling the poor thing. I am over the racial divide 🤷🏾♀️
Good
She should be arrested for animal abuse, as well
Please Franklin templeton reinstate Amy cooper.she acted naturally...she feel threatened by the camera 📷 and not his look 👀.The manner in which cris make that recording is life threatening.He set her up with that recording can’t you people think 🤔 will are all humans!
As she be her behavior was appalling born & raised in Manhattan we don’t behave like that the gentleman was right lease laws matter we protect our citizens,our animals,our laws,this is a city not a farm,I feel sorry for her dog,respect our city&the people.
Oh Karen 🙄
Hate crimes won't be tolerated any longer NOH8
good because i was about to come over there and choke her myself for the way she treating her dog.
Oh this is why she posted an apology....trying to save her job eh?
What a nut
She looks just like a woman in a youtube video called 'FAKE HOMELESS WOMEN EXSPOSED IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA'
Hey lady....you’re the one in the wrong here!
The way you present yourself reflects on your employer and this lady needed to obey the law leash her dog and go on about her business instead she tried to play the victim card and got caught I’m glad this man recorded it because it probably would have been bad
Crazy woman. And look jow she is treating her dog. Abusive. People need to smarten up. Racism should have no place in our society today.
How is it possible that someone can jeopardize his life, professional, social and even surely emotional on the basis of a simple prejudice? It's sad all the same ..!😏😏😏
bissygumdrops Look how she handles her dog.
Isn’t this how most white Democrats act?
Good!
What is the main reason for this woman to call the police what was she calling police for I still don understand investigation need to be done proper so that we will know the real course this black man die
👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏
and she’s choking her poor dog to death.
Unless i missed it..why wasn't her name released? If it had been me & situations were reversed..my name, address. & ss would be on twitter & in the papers..'EQUALITY DOESN'T EXIST & JUSTICE HAS BEEN CONSCIOUSLY BLIND FOR GENERATIONS'.
Wow,what justice...
Amazing that CNN has a standard for headlines in race inequalities. Both very different depending on the offending race.
Contact the Minneapolis DA and mayor’s office to demand the arrest of Officer Derek Chauvin 1087 and Officer Tou Thao 7162 for the murder they committed yesterday!!🤬 (i copied this from someone elses comment!) Everyone should be on Minneapolis Police...
Not that he’s at all at fault, but why do you need dog treats while bird watching?
She was also abusive to her poor dog.
Crazy lady.
Great news. There is no place for racism in today's world. Racism is passed down from older generations. You're not born racist. Get over it.
Everybody is overreacting. Including the dog.
I hope they charge her with animal cruelty for how she practically hung the dog by its collar. What the hell is wrong with that woman!
Racism is alive and well! Sickening.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why the need to advertise the firing? Just doesn't make sense.
She was all the way wrong for her monstrous behavior towards the man AND the way she strangled her dog! If someone can treat a human and a animal like that in the same breath, they need to re-evaluate their life and stay away from people and animals.
She's on administrative leave while they investigate.
She should be charged with filing a false report.
Why is this lady not charged for lying to cops. Isn’t that false accusation
Cancel all Karens NOW
Yeah but some racist company will give her a better one or better yet “they” will start a GoFundMe for her. Smh. WakeUpAmerica
This is justice for her telling a blatant lie.
Trump is calling her to see if she's available to work beside him.
She got what she deserved. Smh
Someone should report her for animal cruelty too.
Now she needs to be charged for filing a false claim
WTF is going on in America!!! This is not what our founding fathers fought for?!!!
Now she needs to be charged.
Her strangulations of her own dog while calling them, ignorance and pure stupidity walks drives exist amongst us, isn’t it time core values improve
Charged with false statement to a LEO next.
That’s because she sucks as a human
She should be arrested & charged for animal cruelty! animalabuse
Arrest her
Bitch , don’t have dog you don’t deserve it.
Even now she can't help blaming the 'big scary black man'. Claiming she didn't know what he would do. Bitch he told you to put the leash on the dog, that's what he was going to do.
Fair enough perhaps but I don't think this should now turn into an online witch-hunt where the woman is attacked & abused to the point where she is either fearing for or considering taking her own life. She did wrong, she apologised. Online mobs are v. dangerous. Leave it be now.
White woman wedding but her job
Good
Damn! I thought she was a Democrat Governor. Amazing, just last Winter, we were afraid of people in masks...
Report the whole damn story the TheOnion has more credibility then you do anymore
Disappointing she won’t have income she can donate Democrats.
Good, she looks like a twit.
Now do the black employees who beat up a white elderly patient. I’ll wait.
How many more lashes? Her life appears to be ruined.
CNN is a racehustler
Not to mention shes choking her dog to death !!!
That video was pretty disturbing on a couple of different levels. That was a false police report emphasizing on black man and she's just about strangling her poor dog. I hope she's charged with making a false police report and animal abuse.
They said they fired her for 'racism.' So if she'd had the same encounter with a white guy, no problem? While she may have over-reacted, him coming out of the bushes, refusing to to leave her alone and threatening her according to his own FB post, doesn't warrant her being fired.
Good and when will she be arrested?
Wait she was fired from her job for calling the police A racist response but to be fired from her job
Can we see the letter.I don't believe it.
Amazing Grace 😭
Glad your not calling in an argument
So glad!!!! What a pig of a person
How come whenever something like this happens to a minority right away its racial and if it was the other way around it wouldn't such as the black man who threw a white child off a balcony to his death a few years when race wasn't even mentioned and was forgotten about in 2 days.
Good...
So how is that not racism? Or a 1st Amendment issue? Hmmmm?
Good! Next time, think before you act. There should be no tolerance for this kind of behavior and I glad her employer saw it fit to let her go. I want the innocent man she accused to sue her. thisisjustthebeginning
Meanwhile strangles her dog waiting for the cops.
Firing people from jobs is a way to control people... the only way someone job should be on the line is if they are at work while doing it... America is suppose to be about freedom, and cant be free if your life is controlled
Liberal woman get fired for being racist. And yall say we are
How the hell is the a news story. Honestly, what have we come to. My wife is a person of color and we yell at each other daily. Hopefully I don’t lose my job.
Liberals gonna be racist 🤷♂️
Good, no doubt she get a call from the trump team offering her $180k salary
Now if they’d do the same with Trump supporters who spew hate online with their employer’s name plain as day on their profiles the world will be an even better place.
GOOD!
Sad story. I am very sorry for this lady. CNN why did you only report one part of this situation?
good!
You say sorry before you get caught, not after!
When will all dis issue stop or come to an end? Justice like dis will enhance d fading away of racist
Damn Karen
Well done
Good!!!
Cool. When is she getting arrested?
This shit has been going on for centuries with African Americans. It’s now being documented! Keep the photos/videos coming. Maybe, just maybe things will get better.
She'll have a job in the White House before the end of the week...
I thought she was racist and insane until I read he did threaten her. CNN skips that part of course.
nice
Excellent
a shame, she was obviously scared for her life. i've been in her situation and i feel bad for her.
What a country😂
Good!
Im OK with this. She tells the police he was threatening her, he wasnt, she lied, making a false complaint.
Good for her 😂🤣🤣🤣 she got what she asked for . God prepared her eternity. She's a disgrace to her entire family
Has she been charged yet with calling 911 for complete racist BS?
Karma 😂
She should be charged for filing a false report!
CNN working overtime to help Biden and his You ain't black blunder.
She OVER REACTED as hell !! Should have humbled her ass then this wouldn’t have happened 🤬
A true democrat, elitist, entitled, racist, but hey she votes blue so she’s a good person 🙄karen
Now ticket her for making a false police report.
