Woman calls cops another Black Jogger

She completed sort of an "empathy" program.

I believe this was rather like an "Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal" than anything else.

It could have been her previous employer had mandated it prior to her dismissal related to media coverage for all we know...

It doesn't make sense if her previous employer "parted ways" (not unlike Gina Carano and Disney) then why would they mandate she attend empathy training?

Brictoria is saying its not over. Her lawyer is itching to seek damages for loss of income and defamation.

Interesting...I don't recall making any such claim.

Could you please point to where I said anything about her lawyer "itching to seek damages", rather than simply noting it was a possibility that he may (which neither indicates a desire on his part to do so, nor an indication that it would occur)?

Once I have something I can link here, I'll post it...Hopefully in the next few hours.

The “Central Park Karen” who went viral last summer for calling the police on a black birdwatcher is suing her former employer for firing her over the incident — accusing the company of axing her without a thorough investigation and discriminating against her because of her race.

In the Manhattan federal suit, Amy Cooper accuses her former employer, Franklin Templeton, of perpetuating her image as a “privileged white female ‘Karen'” by making public statements that it had fired her after conducting an investigation into the incident.

Her suit argues that she did not call the cops on Christian because she is “racist” — but rather because the “overzealous birdwatcher” selected her as a “target” in a feud between bird and dog lovers.

“Even a perfunctory investigation would have shown that Plaintiff did not shout at Christian Cooper or call the police from Central Park on May 25, 2020 because she was a racist — she did these things because she was alone in the park and frightened to death after being selected as the next target of Christian Cooper, an overzealous birdwatcher engaged in Central Park’s ongoing feud between birdwatchers and dog owners,” it alleges.

The suit notes that Franklin Templeton did not interview Amy, or the birdwatcher, during its investigation into the incident.

Had the company obtained a record of the New York City Park Board Meetings from prior to the incident, the suit claims, it would have shown that Christian Cooper had previously gotten into an altercation with another dog walker while he was birdwatching in the park, according to the suit.

altercation, saying in a statement that it does “not tolerate racism of any kind,” the suit states.

The suit argues that the statement, which garnered more than 200,000 “likes” on Twitter, helped perpetuate the view that Amy Cooper is a racist.

She’s seeking unspecified damages for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence — and racial discrimination.

“The Defendants discriminated against the Plaintiff on the basis of her race,” the suit states.

“As a result of the Defendants’ discrimination, the Plaintiff has suffered substantial loss of
earnings and benefits and endured severe emotional distress, and will continue to do so in the future.”

In a statement, Franklin Templeton called the claims in the suit “baseless.”

The company says her claims are baseless. There isn't a racist POTUS to interfere on her behalf anymore. I'm curious if anyone knows the background of the lawyer she hired?
