New York The White woman who called cops on a Black man who was birdwatching in Central Park will be prosecuted, the Manhattan district attorney said Monday.
Amy Cooper, the woman who was filmed accusing a Black man of threatening her, faces a charge of falsely reporting an incident in the third degree, according to the DA. "At this time I would like to encourage anyone who has been the target of false reporting to contact our Office. We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable," DA Cyrus Vance said in a statement.
She should.
That's what you call 'white privilege'. She deserves being charge. She could have destroyed that black man's life, even worse, he could have been killed by the police. Look what happened to those teenagers in Central Park, NYC. They were wrongly charged with raping a white woman.
CancelDonLemon CNNPolitics CNN FoxNews The people are tired of divisiveness. People are tired of the news splitting America. YouTubers have more views than CNN. Terry has done more for Black Lives than BLM. IStandWithTerryCrews
The DA is playing dirty politics. Instead of prosecuting crimes. This was a dispute. Yes she was nuts, but that is not a crime. The birdwatcher continued to video her. Which caused her to become afraid. That is harassment. She called 911. She described him. No Crime.
Lock her up please
She needs to be charged with animal abuse
This woman is a hater and is doing Trump’s bidding.
Animal cruelty charges
She’s legit choking her dog who is also trying to fight outta her grip
Great! Until you make this against the law the police will always be that go-to 'tool' of choice.
Calling police is not a crime. She should be exonerated. This is crazy 😜.
Thank you to the Manhattan district attorney.
The whites think they are superior to blacks I wonder, anyways let her face the music at least she will come out as a jailbird
“Breaking News”.. thanks CNN! Don’t know what I would do w/o my morning race baiting to go with my ☕️
I thought we put this to rest. Leave it to CNN to try to create further divide.
Did she actually think that people would have clapped their hands for what she did?!?! I’m HAPPY that her boss fired her!!!!!
“A Black Birdwatcher” why would he only watch Black Birds? That’s racist to the other birds.
Disappointed with this “Canadian” woman who seems to have lost her canadianism
Why do you have to call out the peoples race in the title. Who cares if they are white or black? Your spreading racism by doing that!
Talk about the bounties on our soldiers. Please
She should get prison for that and her dog taking of her

Good, most ridiculous behaviour
She should be punished, and it will spread a message to other white supremacists... shameful
You negative people really something else with your lost minds. This man is so on point about some of you as you think like this and you can’t change this is racism
Why does the dog have to face charges? :) justicfordoggo
kaylaxdawnx pwned
CNN, would you please post the full video? Not just the edited portion.
Good. She deserves it and a bit more. Apologise my foot. Not accepted.
Good..... the bitch needs to be put in jail .....
Good. She deserves it.
Does her being white matter? Isnt she a woman?
Okay Karen
Thank God this bird watcher didn’t end up like someone who plays the violin for sheltered cats!
Karen was mean to the dog too ! !
Deport the bi**h...
B r
Making false 911 calls is a crime; about time they start really enforcing this ... maybe people will think twice about falsely accusing people and waiting police time on calls like this....LockHerUp
At least 2 months jail time. No good time!
So who watches black birds?
Uf My God
Lol this happened months ago
This happened weeks ago...keep the base angry.
Women been making false allocations all these years against divorced fathers, nothing is done and now it is a problem?
A 'white' woman. A 'black man'. WHY are you constantly feeding the race card?
Not even news worthy. Your next article will be about parking tickets. What a waste of time reading your stuff
Honestly I’m actually more concerned about her treatment of her dog. She was choking that poor animal. I hope someone went to check on the dog after this incident
Good
She should face charges! False reporting - no one was threatening her in any way, shape or form.
Where is the riot? Where is the looting? Where is BLM?
CNN'S CHILDREN
Good and she also should be charged with strangling her dog
This is why it is Super Important that We All get Involved and Vote so that we are able to choose New Local Sheriffs & Prosecutors who are willing to Prosecute people who make calls attempting to Create Crime. We are Still Registering for November! HelpUs
HAD BEEN WHITE NOBODY WOULD HAVE GIVEN A DAMN.IF THE BLACK MAN HAD BEEN A SANITATION WORKER OF ANY RACE NOBODY WOULD CARE.BUT HE'S A HARVARD MAN,AN ELITIST WHO HATES DOGS&LIKE TO PICK ON INNOCENT POOCHES MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE WOMAN&THE DOG ALONE.
Awesome
I am surprised she doesn't work for CNN. CNN wants to lie and decide America. The extreme left media reporters they employ are causing more damage to our country than anything else. She is a example of people they usually want in their side.
Good. Charge her for making a false report and choking the dog.
THIS IS INSANE.A MAN WHO HAPPENED TO BE BLACK APPROACHED A LONE WOMAN IN THE WOODS WALKING HER GENTLE,WELL-MANNERED DOG.HE COULD HAVE LEFT HER ALONE.SHE OVERREACTED &CALLED THE POLICE.HE ALSO CALLED THE POLICE RIGHT?SHE NEVER THREATENED HIM,SHE NEVER CALLED HIM NAMES.IF THE MAN
SHE DESERVES IT. Charge the Bitch falseaccusations
This is very old. Why do you bring this up again? Starting trouble?
Of course, it’s a WHITE woman, not just a woman.
Follet? Bubba Wallace?
Interesting, so this should definitely prompt police to start charging every woman who falsely accuses men of sexual assault I assume ...
Make sure you add their color of skin in there! Really!?
I can’t tell if you’re saying the bird was black or the gentleman.
Good... And I hope animal cruelty is one of the charges
You worded that funny.
At least they’ll get a conviction on this, not like the child’s murder this weekend... Her life didn’t matter.
Good
Great reporting CNN, incredible breaking news😂. How about reporting the killings, drugs & human trafficking in the area? We hear crickets from you. Your social agenda is sooo obvious.
I hope she got charged with animal abuse too.
What about that idiot that called 911 and reported Elijah McClain was acting 'suspicious' that caused the latter his life? Is the caller going to be investigated and charged accordingly for false reporting?
This is old
Good thing that black guy wasn't nominated for the supreme court or he would have been guilty just because the lady felt threatened.
Stop promoting racial War.
Why not to the 1st degree ? This was malicious and intentional , she should not receive a slap on the wrist IDC what color you are!!! She put a innocent life at risk for foolishness!!!
We have the same problem over here by lake michigan and Jewish people think they own the lake and let their JEWDOODLES harrass people with no apologies.
Good!
Bet the story is nothing like reported. Just wait!
Great, very well deserved
Got to add that color addition in there. CNN wants to divide us.
Blackbird watcher. That’s pretty specific...
🙋🏽♀️Her AND her dog?😂 What da dog got ta do wit it?🤣He looked like he was being abused & oppressed✊🏾Go save him!🤷🏽♀️Maybe he needs new ownership! 👀Poor dog..😭
Let's just leave it at 'the WOMAN' & 'THE BIRD WATCHER' I understand the race differential, but it is not needed for the story to still have needed impact
Lock her up💯
Interesting how I see more people worried about the dog than what could’ve happened to the guy.
It's illegal to not like people now?
Well I guess NYC's justice department was sleeping. Charges are pressed after almost a month. If there were no protests then this issue would have been ignored.
Yessss hunny! Put all the Karen’s in one room with LatriceRoyale Latrice Mother F’in Royale! Let them see the beauty in blackness! Then lock all those Karen’s up!
She’s lost her job, facing charges what a disgrace. Who’s going to look after her dog when she commits suicide ?
Hilarious , so she faces charges for being in fear of someone ? I don’t care how stupid she is the woman did nothing to garner charges against her . Does she not have freedom of speech and freedom from fear ? Agg hv sun regardiess of how stupid she was !
Change of ball game. Now there’s precedence of prosecution and can sue for trauma of having police called on you. This can be traumatic knowing that police can either come and choke hold you, kneel on your throat to death, or slam you to the ground, or even shoot you. Yes, sue.
She has apologized for her behavior after being fired from her job but I believe this is what needs to happen to send the signal - racism is not acceptable in this country!
Throw her sorry ass in jail
Good!
Oh my God.... I could be next.
“And her dog now faces charges.” Had to read that a couple times.
DEFUND THE POLICE!!! Hello, Police? I'd like to report a Karen and I want her prosecuted!
It feels like this took place in 2010.
You are so quickly to say white not black are you willing trying a race war
Why capitalize White and Black?
Good she was way out of line and should have consequences to her actions. Just because she did something wrong people should not be threatening her. That makes them no better than her.
LOCK HER UP... THIS IS A HATE CRIME.. She called the Police in the hope they would arrest an innocent man, a bird watcher, 'roughly' (That's as easy as I can get.. She knows how this rolls) So basically called someone to assault a black man because was... Black.
This seems like a good use of the law enforcement resources that BLM is trying to defund. Also, didn't CNN get the memo? You don't capitalize 'white' because only Black and Brown are oppressed and have 'unique' cultures, according to Chicago Sun-Times.
I'm not surprised. Gratuitously pretending to need the police when she didn't should be charged.
Good. I hope they prosecute her.
Well, she tried to use her whiteness as a weapon, and know she has charges....
Good for her, she’s one of the apocalypse dooms day Karens.
ZanuMustgo
Yes
OMG Karen, your going to be getting new bracelets! How exciting...-.-
We love to hear that
Wait, What she did was stupid but hat about all the looters, rioters and vandals that have destroyed the city? If the mayor's daughter got off for destruction of property, why does this woman get charged?
Watching only black birds must be a pretty boring hobby. There are so many different kinds of birds to watch
Let her ass hear “the clank on the tank” like people of color, and put her in general population!!!
i am still waiting for the animal cruelty charge as well!
Why does it have to be “white this” and “black that” just woman and man should suffice.
Hopefully it’s animal abuse charges too. That poor dog.
That's what you get original Karen!
