Amy Cooper, the white woman who called the cops on a black birdwatcher in May, has been charged with filing a false police report
. Mr. Cooper asked Ms. Cooper to leash her dog in the Ramble, an area where it is not permitted for dogs to roam unleashed. Ms. Cooper refused, prompting Mr. Cooper to try to lure the dog with dog treats. This eventually resulted in her calling 911 and report Mr. Cooper for “threatening” her.
The footage of Ms. Cooper calling the police on Mr. Cooper went viral, prompting a nationwide conversation about white people exerting their privilege and filing false charges against black people. Ms. Cooper was fired from her job at an investment firm shortly after. In a statement, she issued an apology to Mr. Cooper. “I reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about his intentions when, in fact, I was the one who was acting inappropriately by not having my dog on a leash,”
, “I am well aware of the pain that misassumptions and insensitive statements about race cause and would never have imagined that I would be involved in the type of incident that occurred with Chris.”, “It was just a conflict between a birder and a dog walker, and then she took it to a very dark place. I think she’s gotta sort of examine why and how that happened.”
