Amy Cooper also warned him she would summon police unless he stopped recording.
“I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” Amy Cooper is heard saying in the video as she pulls down her face mask and struggles to control her dog.“There’s an African American man, I’m in Central Park, he is recording me and threatening myself and my dog. … Please send the cops immediately!” she says during the call before he stops recording.Messages were left Tuesday with Christian Cooper and his sister.
“I videotaped it because I thought it was important to document things,” Christian Cooper told CNN. “Unfortunately we live in an era with things like Ahmaud Arbery, where black men are seen as targets. This woman thought she could exploit that to her advantage, and I wasn’t having it.” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the video exemplified hatred that has “no place in our city.”. “She called the police BECAUSE he was a Black man. Even though she was the one breaking the rules. She decided he was the criminal and we know why.”In the fallout, investment firm Franklin Templeton announced Tuesday afternoon it had fired Amy Cooper, saying, “We do not tolerate racism of any kind.
He actually threatened her
That’s blacklash!!! Black killings by police must stop.
Big time lawsuit against her employer. How do you define racism? nytimes
If there is a way to fix racism, I feel like this isn’t the way to do it. That girl was scared for what ever reason. Unfounded or not she was terrified and that’s why she acted that way.
Woman lied that she was being threatened even though he calmly asked her to put dog on leash.
Go back and listen to this man's justifications for threatening to give her dog a 'aTREAT!' He manipulated bc he didn't want 'HIS' birds to fly away? Dog is well behaved. All she does is walk HE SHOULD HAVE MINDED HIS OWN BUSINESS. I'd like to give him 'a treat.'
Apparently AP gives a shit what de Blasio says.
There is the strange outcome that both of them were wrong. Why did he video her? To shame her for not having a dog on a leash because 'IT'S THE PARK RULES AND IS SCARING THE BIRDS THAT I WANT TO WATCH!'
A white woman who saught to weaponize police against an African American man has had her employment terminated as a result of her racist actions.
AmyCooper your arrogance caught up with you! Time for you to pay the piper.
Had the man been any color other than black no one would have ever cared.
How entitled! Why are we still dealing with race problems? Thought it was over in the 60s. Shame Amarica.
Good! Her apology on air was no where near as sincere as her report of danger on the 911 call. Serves her right...Now, NYPD needs to go write those tickets for false reporting, animal abuse, and breaking the leash law!
Good luck finding a new job with your name and face plastered all over the internet, AND during a pandemic. Karma wins again.

Somebody else on Twitter said both the lady and the man are 'Karens,' and called this the Battle of the Karens. And he's not wrong. Extreme over-reaction on both of their parts, and an even greater over-reaction on the part of the Mayor and the company that lady worked for.
Ppl who let dogs run without a leash are oblivious to the concerns and sensitivities of others. You may be reading too much into her complete and total lack of any consideration for other humans.
Awesome. Hope you’re somehow blacklisted from every opportunity for the rest of your life. AmyCooper
It's also a Hate Crime. Call it what it truly is.
She got what she deserved. Period. Who knows what would have happened when the PD showed up. I hope she has to move and hide for a few years. I love dogs however it’s not ok when I’m walking through a park and someone thinks it’s ok to have theirs unleashed. Very self centered.
donnabrazile Doing there job, call police on colored people mostly Negros, they know police will make a crime out of nothing, remember the Edommite’s bloodline hates Jacob’s bloodline even today, the KJV tells us that.
She should not have been fired. She was having a meltdown of some type. She should have been given counselling and maybe sent on a course, but not sacked.
Birdwatcher with Dog Treats? WTF where's the breadThat tool baited the dog with treats all over a leash. Bet he moans everytime someone tells him he violating a City Ordanace. Letter People?
She got fired. Justice served.
Good. There was no excuse for what she did and it could have had horrific consequences
GOOD
absolutely
One good news in these bad times.
there is justice in the world
Good decision!
And she shouldnt be allowed another dog... she cant just be strangling dogs... animal lives matter!!!
Why didn't he just let her put the leash on and move on? Seems like he WAS provoking her. She needs an attorney.
Wow if someone is breaking the law then it’s Law whither one is either black or white: Do you people not get it ; LAW
Glad NYCMayor stepped in.
She is trash.
Charge her ass for making false report
Has she been arrested for a false police report?
So will she be arrested for filing a false report?
AP a Anti-White organization that is a globalist fake news propaganda mouthpiece ran by a Supremacist Tribe that makes up less .02% of the world's population. This Tribe has their own Apartheid State that murders real Semitic people on lands the Tribe stole from them.
He had no fucking business asking her to put her dog on a leash. I walk in my park and I have never asked anyone... or been bitten. She felt threatened cause he kept filming her and harassing her. She hurt her dog cause of him. she was the victim.
can she be deported back to Canada?
Fired? They need locking up for life 😡
So, what if the woman was black and called the police? What is happening to Gay men is far worse.
Thoughts and prayers
donnabrazile Seriously (?!) damn! 👎😑
The woman acts like a thoroughly spoilt brat and actually mistreats her dog as well!
donnabrazile We need to start Karen a lot more about our fellow human being.
Also black men...make sure your hair dont get too NAPPY yeah? And if your light skinned you'll be in trouble yeah? And if your dark skinned you'll be in bigger trouble yeah?
Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha treat dogs kindly. There better than people. wip
donnabrazile He doesn't say that with police incidents
Just think about this, what if this woman was armed, what if she was a cop? She just claims that he was threatening her life, bam, shots fired. And she would get away Scott free.
That poor dog was literally grasping and fighting her for air while she was oblivious to the fact she was choking the poor thing...I hope the dog has been removed from her care as well. That was gut wrenching to watch! How terrible all around.
LETS GOOO
Excellent news, thank the stars for some common decency.
He can speak out about this racist woman but not about the racist nypd who harassed, abused and unjustly arrested black and brown people for not wearing mask!!!!
Good
donnabrazile
paperstainedink
Good
Do you think it will matter to future employers that the mayor of the country's biggest city has told the world that you are a racist, 'plain and simple?' May as well address it head-on in your resume, Ms. Cooper. It's gonna come up in a Google search. Won't be an interview tho.
Pleez...she was not afraid. She came marching toward him, choking her dog in the process.
I wonder who conditioned their reactions? What might really be the problem? Could it be a system that is above reproach and criticism? Like for instance, the media? Maybe we should look into this more.
This wouldn’t happen to me. My dog is always on a leash and I’m not fucking racist and I never entertain men in the streets. Specially those who offer fmy dogs treats in parks. Creepy.
They have the same last name?
He’s a racist himself.
I heard she’s a Democrat.
This poor boy name' Henry 'was SURRENDERED thankfully back to the original shelter he was Adopted from 4yrs ago. I truly hope he finds a real loving fur-ever home. The man that was Targeted for hatred during the situation, I'm glad he kept his composure.
Shouldn't have been fired.
😂 good bout time these snowflakes start getting hammered Idiots 🤦🏻♂️
Good!
Woman alone in a wooded are is confronted by a man who tries to take her dog and won’t leave her alone.
It's a lot worse than that. If she had said he had a gun, he could've been murdered.
She shouldn't been fired. However, how are hard is it to put your dog on a leash?
It is racism that only 1 side of the story is being told to push racial divide. The man involved admitted that he threatened her dog prior to starting to film her reaction just so he could instigate her but the media will only push the white against black theme
Good.
But she was progressive liberal, how come ? White progressive liberals are the most racist people alive Disgusting realDonaldTrump RealCandaceO BLEXIT
absolute racism
Now that’s good stuff
y'all are nuts.
Poll on whether Franklin Templeton was right to take this action:
White people have no tools to defend themselves because black people are always willing to physically fight. Its a problem in NYC. I would have called the police too.
This is why workers need unions.
Unarmed black men get shot by the cops. He was right to film the incident. The wrong cop shows up and only hears her side, you can envision how that incident goes. Doubt she’d have called the cops if it was a 50+ year old white guy.
She'll be popping that redpill any day now
man that lady is outta her mind outta be ashamed
She's an extreme liberal. That's where the racists hide as always. They just ate their own. But she was threatened before the video started by his own admission and no one seems to give a shit about that.
OK do you feel better i know NY is a LIBYRCRITE city but was understanding of WOMEN'S FEARS WHICH SHE OBVIOUSLY HAD FEAR OF A STRANGER YELLING AT HER HE JUST HAPPENED TO BE BLACK
Both of them probably regret this entire interaction. His account proves he’s not blameless here, either. She’s over the top - no question. And her life is ruined. It’s a slippery slope when people’s identities get displayed like this. I’m guessing this is far from over.
Why does the headline read “accusation”? The video is clear as daylight... she stated her intention to call the police to tell them she was being assaulted by an African American man...! TruthMatters
It’s attempted murder. Losing her job and her dog is a start. She should be prosecuted for weaponizing her “whiteness.” She is an abhorrent, vile excuse for a human and deserves every bit of fallout (and karma) for what she has done. Eff you, Amy Cooper.
This is what happens when two aggravating arseholes clash.
She should be charged with filing a false report.
Best news I've read in a long time.
Yes!! And she needs community service
Poor dog will hopefully find a better human for cohabitation
This video is beyond racism. It is proof positive that some white people KNOW that the cops are much more likely to shoot a black man. It’s murder by proxy. And it’s a threat whites can hold over blacks at any moment.
She said “I’m calling the cops and saying a black man is threatening me “ that’s obviously a threat hoping the cops over react. Also pointing out he is black was pointless IF she wasn’t racist
Was she also fined? By law her dog is supposed to be on a leash.
Why was he filming her?
It's disturbing it took so much outrage to get to a point in which she is being *partially* punished for the laws she broke. She abused the system too.
But she issued an apology for it. Also the man decided to forgive the women if I am not wrong. Why fire her if the thing has ended. Also I dont justify the women action
I think the white lady and the black man both made me realize I hate people of all colors. Kudos to them.
Witch hunt absolutely
Karens gonna Karen.
