Where does she say she was attacked? Where does she say, "an African American was threatening her life"?

"In the video, Amy Cooper refused and called 911, telling the operator that "there is an African American man. I am in Central Park. He is recording me and threatening myself and my dog." At one point, Cooper shouts to the operator, "Please send the cops immediately."

I live about 15 miles from Central Park—but there are strict leash laws in the park.

Maybe the guy was pushy.....but the woman should not have told the cops that the guy was “threatening” her. She should have told them that the guy was filming her without her permission....and shouldn’t have mentioned that the guy was “African American.”

She wouldn’t have been fired from her job had she not been racist.

The guy is not law enforcement. Kortie is not law enforcement.

The law enforcement even came on the scene, saw the video, and determined no infraction of this supposed bylaw.

They may give her a multi-million dollar severance just to get rid of the bad publicity with an agreement not to sue them.

She never breeched a bylaw.

She never played on his black background (whatever that means).

She was practicing freedom, and this guy intruded into her private space.


Freedom? In Australia allowing a dog to run of a leash is a breach of council bylaws. There are of course harmless breeds and Cooper's dog is a retriever of some type which is normally friendly. However there is a small margin for error and even this type of breed can bite or attack a child.

The woman's threat “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” is a clear reference to previous famous attacks on white women in central park and the clear trigger for police when a "damsel in distress" invokes the old trope of a black man rapist.

Again, I will repeat the question of was he filming her while she was inside the ladies room? That is the only way I can see use of a camera by itself as inappropriate. Did the audio on the video record him making any inappropriate words or tones?

Why couldn’t she just put a leash on the dog?

He used the camera as intimidation.

He should take his act to the ghetto of filming gangs in the act.

I think the media should leave her alone. She’s apologized. She’s lost her job. She voluntarily surrendered her dog.

She did a racist thing....and I hope she permanently learns from it.

He can get a lesson in manners.

He will learn not to stick is nose in other people's business.

I don’t like what she did—but I also think she’s been punished enough.

If the guy was actually arrested and charged, I would have a different opinion. At least the cops used common sense this time.

Ok, maybe you have a point, instead of politely asking her to put the dog on a leash, he should have waited for the dog to touch his leg then he could have went for a field goal.

I agree his demeanour was irritating and he should have left the woman alone. However, her reaction stems from some deep seated stuff which is what's concerning me.

The guy made the threat, '"You won't like what I will do", and threw dog bones at her dog, to presumably lure her dog to him.

We don't know what he planned to do to the dog.
