Should throw in hate crime charges and animal cruelty

Give it a rest. She gotpunished already. Dont kick her some more while she’s down.

hate amy hate trump hate something

Interesting, Christian Cooper says that Amy Cooper's consequences went a little too far. If that's how the victim feels, perhaps it's time to put a period at the end of this story.

She should be charged with animal abuse too. Her poor dog.

'Sex and City was Bullshit I am Not getting laid and there are Black people in Manhattan!!!!! Help Me' Amy Cooper

FINALLY!!! Only took 2 months and a world outcry of police reform to get here!!

Good

Great journalism with this story! What about all the single-digit aged children being murdered? Where is the gun control outrage

Its not illegal to phone the police

Whitch.

Let's use Bubba's noose , string her up in Central park at the entrance so all can see

Where is the rioting? Where is the looting? Where is BLM?

About time too.

Shouldn’t she be charged with harassment and animal cruelty also?

Amy Cooper should be charged with animal abuse. She had to surrender the dog to start with when the video came to the attention of the rescue shelter. Any lawyers out there?

She called the NYPD on an African American man. She should be charged with attempted homicide.

Good on the people at NPR for capitalizing the word 'Black' in this tweet.

Jussie Smollett was unavailable for comment.

Good. She deserves to be held accountable.

You suck NPR

Amy Cooper... The white female Jussie Smollett of 2020... Wonder if her charges will be dropped as well

Can we put a couple of animal cruelty charges on her , too? One for the dog, one for the birds.

Totally deserved.

I know that it's 'the law' to have the dog leashed, but it's a toy dog, not a rottweiler. Why did he even care if it was able to roam around at all?

If they give her a fine and a week or month in jail she'll probably never do it again.

But you can't catch the assholes killing people and destroying things.

Chokes out her purebred, goes viral for the 2d most racist video of the week, and then gets a citation! lol, Classic Amy!

I’ll never forget her evil sinister threat—“I’m calling the police and telling them an AFRICAN AMERICAN man is threatening me” all because she was asked to leash her dog and respect the rules whilst in the ramble.

what a waste of taxpayer $...

Man good thing they got all those shootings under control in NYC and can focus on the real crimes.

Wow a false accusation. Probably should be a bigger penalty to prevent this from happening. If that camera wasn’t there his life could have been ruined or worse. Maybe sentence her to what he would have been accused of?

This took hundreds of years to happen.

it's about fucking time these lunatics started facing repercussions beyond internet shaming and job loss. they need to learn that the police are not a tool to be used against people that bother you

Good she deserves to be charged.

Good. Now report Trump as a false president!

Plesse, don’t forget to mention the white ‘liberal’ woman.

Time for her to take off, eh and go back to the 'Great White North.' -The McKinley Brothers words, not mine.

The charge should be attempted assault with a deadly weapon!

Wait. Can someone post an update on what is still illegal and what is 'ticky tack'?

Good

Make an example of her!! To all Karen, this could be you next😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is right to film and record evildoers. Justice served.

PLEEEASE give her the full year sentence, on Rikers Island in general population. I'm sure she'll make some new friends and have some lasting memories.

Great

I thought the black bird watcher only wanted an apology? Why the charges? The black bird watcher also threatened to take her dog and was being a Karen in the first place for complaining about the dog.

As a fan of grammatically correct writing, why is 'Black' capitalized in this story? It's distracting and detracts from the content.

It's about time. The incidents are prevalent because people like her know how they can abuse the law without repercussion.

Fantastic. We need to hold these 'Karens' accountable

Ha!!! Can’t believe people think the dude was a “bird watcher”. That area in Central Park has a reputation as a gay hookup spot. Don’t look in the bushes folks! Those aren’t birds shaking the branches. Also funny that a BLM supporting white liberal is being exposed as a “racist”.

She should also be charged with animal cruelty.

bts_armynana Finally!

good

She ought to be charged with animal cruelty the way she was swinging that dog around. Freaking limousine liberals...

She should also be charged with animal cruelty!

Hope they took her dog.

NPR pushing a race war again.

Good. She’s nuts.

Good

He did violate her dog and was harrasing the old Karen

I hope this starts a precedent ✊🏼❤️

Whites are legally sanctioned for being afraid of blacks. This is an unstable precedent. She had every reason to feel threatened just from what is available in the video of his. Imagine whats not on HIS phone.

Then you have the real news:

And why not a fuck-ton of animal abuse charges as well for this piece of shit?!

Good

'I'm going to tell the police an African American man is threatening my life'-Amy Cooper I would say she threatened his.

The dog barely survived. She's crying about her life. Maybe she should have just used collar and a leash.

Too bad they couldn't save the dog....

This Clinton supporter is a good example of a liberals. FAKE!

Good. Because she, um, falsely filed a report.

Wait. So the system works?

ElizabethH15 Lessons need to be learned. This is unacceptable.😔🤞😷

Same people that want to abolish the police can't wait to use cops and the state like a weapon on each other. Total clown show

What does race have to do with this?

Lol NYC won't arrest the thousands of petty and felony criminals while making sure to target hapless, self loathing white liberal females.

This kind of stuff won't stop until people start getting charged for it... so this is definitely appropriate.

Karen’s everywhere are vowing to immediately stop living, laughing, and loving.

Good, she should also be charged with cruelty to animals and her dog taken.

Good. Great. Fantastic.

Good

good, let the karens burn.

Good. Now arrest Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley

She was crowing a little too loud.

She got what she deserved. Focus on the real threats out there.

what an embarrassment.

It’s what she deserves.

Good. She should also be banned from ever owning a dog again.
