Woman calls cops another Black Jogger

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah I don't think she would win and I would be surprised if she did. Plus he never even touched her so it's impossible to assault someone without touching them.

I also forgot (given the time that;s elapsed) she also made a second call to 911...

The dispatch rang her ...

But...Did she make a second call? Absent evidence of her making this second call, what follows must logically be fabrication (if she didn't make a call, then what was claimed to have have been said by her on that call could not have been said).

The information had to come from somewhere, there was no evidence it was faked

It may be false, however, you're stating your impression.

Please show me one example where a woman under threat from man approach/walk toward him and threatened him with "I will tell 911 that you are trying to assault me"

A person in real panic would run away. The whole thing is just farcical

The fight-flight-freeze response is your body’s natural reaction to danger. It’s a type of stress response that helps you react to perceived threats, like an oncoming car or growling dog.

The response instantly causes hormonal and physiological changes. These changes allow you to act quickly so you can protect yourself. It’s a survival instinct that our ancient ancestors developed many years ago.

Specifically, fight-or-flight is an active defense response where you fight or flee. Your heart rate gets faster, which increases oxygen flow to your major muscles. Your pain perception drops, and your hearing sharpens. These changes help you act appropriately and rapidly.

Freezing is fight-or-flight on hold, where you further prepare to protect yourself. It’s also called reactive immobility or attentive immobility. It involves similar physiological changes, but instead, you stay completely still and get ready for the next move.

Fight-flight-freeze isn’t a conscious decision. It’s an automatic reaction, so you can’t control it. In this article, we’ll further explore what this response entails, along with examples.

It's amazing how many such assertions you make with no supporting evidence:

So, a female seeing a large male approaching them aggreesivly who is stating loudly that "he will do what he wants and she may not like it", would be quite likely to trigger this reaction...

In this case, we don't know the manner in which he approached her, but we do know he has approached several other people in her position in an aggressive manner, shouting at them - and there is no evidence of his approaching others in a different manner - so the probability of his having approached in such an aggressive manner is much greater than that he was using the tone\manner adopted once he decided the time was right to commence filming.

Yeah, so the freeze thing works when the woman goes into a frozen position....Amy Cooper was in "beast mode' assertively approaching Christian Cooper, infact the whole reason he started filming her was he was threatened (not the other way around) by her aggressive threats,

Try again....

She never said that.

After he threatened her, she said to him, "I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life!".

Subsequently, she told the dispatcher that her impression is that "he's trying to assault me".

The way she phrased it indicates she was trying to use his skin color to weaponize him and that is a racist act. So she shouldn't be surprised she is being branded as racist in the media and by people who heard about it.

she told the dispatcher that her impression is that "he's trying to assault me".

She likely says, "I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life!" as a means of counter-attacking him, because of how unhinged (scared) she was.

Whether she meant anything racist by it is indeterminate.

It's seems more likely that she didn't mean anything racist by it, and simply wanted to scare him, by letting him know that he was being fully identified to the police.

I have highlighted how your own interpretation corroborates my argument. It all boils down to how a reasonable objective third party will interpret her actions as weaponising race

It's rather hypocritical to see a person who has weaponised race on this site, pretending to act like a moral compass on the topic... Don't you think?

Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson in a recent interview said management at the investment firm stands by its decision last year to fire Amy Cooper, a former employee who went viral after a video captured her calling the police about a Black birdwatcher who had asked her to put her dog on a leash.

The incident, which took place last May in Manhattan's Central Park, made national headlines and prompted widespread accusations of racism toward Cooper. Cooper has rejected the characterization, instead filing a lawsuit in May against Franklin Templeton claiming it fired her without doing a proper investigation and inaccurately portrayed her as a racist.

Johnson, whose firm manages more than $1.5 trillion in assets and employs more than 11,000 people worldwide, said executives in general should support employees even when a response on social media makes it "difficult" to bring a judgment on the merits of a given situation. But the incident involving Cooper warranted termination on the basis of the former employee's conduct alone, Johnson said.

"I've been in a couple of situations where social media got it wrong. And it's difficult as a CEO, and as a firm, when social media doesn't have it right and you need to stand by people," Johnson says.

"In the case of that situation [of Amy Cooper], we stand by our decision," she adds. "We felt and we feel confident in the due diligence we did in the end — the process to make our evaluations."

Christian Cooper, a writer and frequent birdwatcher, on May 25, 2020 came across Amy Cooper (no relation) in the park and asked her to abide by a rule that requires dog owners to keep their pets on a leash, according to an account of the incident in The New York Times. Christian Cooper used his phone to record Amy Cooper as she declined to put her dog on a leash and instead called the police.

Soon after the video was posted online, Franklin Templeton tweeted a statement decrying racism and saying the company had suspended Amy Cooper while it looked into the incident. The following day, the company tweeted that it had fired Cooper. Amy Cooper gained the moniker online as the "Central Park Karen," shorthand for an entitled white woman.

The incident occurred just a few hours before the police murder of George Floyd, which set off a wave off Black Lives Matter protests across the U.S. and highlighted the dire consequences of calling the police on Black people in America.

The lawsuit filed by Cooper alleges that the company did not undertake a legitimate investigation prior to her termination, and that the decision to fire her was itself discriminatory.

"Franklin Templeton’s alleged investigation and results provided legitimacy to the 'Karen' story, and appeared to provide justification for those who sought the destruction of the Plaintiff’s life," the lawsuit claims.

In a statement after the filing of the lawsuit, Franklin Templeton said it “responded appropriately” by firing Cooper and vowed to "defend against these baseless claims," the Washington Post reported.

In October, the Manhattan district attorney charged Amy Cooper with false reporting of a 911 emergency but later dropped the claim after Cooper went through a counseling program.
