Her actions could have well gotten this man killed.

Good news and good thread NewsVine_Mariyam

If America was as racist as you lefties pretend it is, it might have.


Instead, she is the one arrested.


Mmm, reality did not match up with your expectation...


Is there something to be learned here? LOL!!!

 

[Correll]

The video does not show how the man approached her. I can't tell whether he was threatening or not.

Yes, we are finally making a little progress.

 

[Mr Natural]

Yeah, the guy looked real dangerous.

Fascism at work, charging someone with something that is never enforced.

I'm pretty sure filing a false police report is regularly enforced.

The article says it rarely happens.

Besides, it’s on the video that the man is harassing her.

He's an openly gay comic book writer/bird watching enthusiast. How threatened do you think she really felt?

Well, he did threaten her dog. Its in the video, which is why she wont be convicted of filing a false police report.

Yes, there are/were more complete videos. Just like always, the real racists post INCOMPLETE information.

Cameras on nearly every phone is a double edged sword. The man recording the own encounter saved himself. But good lord is it annoying when people whip their phones out to record every little thing these days.

YOu don't know that. YOu are assuming it, because it gives you an excuse to hold on to your self serving hate of the police.

Sure I do. Without it, it would have been a he said, she said. The video saved himself from having to be put in that position.

I’m not one dimensional. There are good police and bad police. Overall, I want the police to be better than they currently are but that’s going to take some change. This shouldn’t be controversial but these days everything gets put into a stupid culture war perspective.

She didn’t file a report

The black man was harassing her, it’s on the video. White women have a reason to be afraid of black men, they are the most violent group in the country, and often assault and rape white women.

Him asking her to put her dog on a leash was horrably threatening, wasnt it? Back when America was great, a black man would have been lynched for talking to a white woman. Trump is trying hard to remake America just like it was back then. MAGA!!

Yeah, everybody on my side can't wait to get back to the lynching!

Do you think before you post?

 

[theHawk]

Yeah, the guy looked real dangerous.

What does it matter what he looked like? You saying a grown man like that can’t hurt a woman?

The law will now be known as the 'Karen' law.

The lesson here is that the guy got lucky.

Hopefully her prosecution and jail time will cause others not to attempt the same in the future.

OK, THIS was funny.

Got it. Reality did not match your expectations, so it must be a fluke. NOthing to learn here.



That is about what I expected from you.

This isn't even a slap on the wrist but it's a start since it's alleged that she is the first white person to be charged with maliciously making a false report on a black person, after all these centuries of malice.

"Ms. Cooper was captured on video calling the police after Christian Cooper asked her to keep her dog on a leash in Central Park.​

​

When Amy Cooper, a white woman, called 911 from an isolated patch in Central Park where she was standing with her unleashed dog on Memorial Day, she said an “African-American man” was threatening her life, emphasizing his race to the operator.​

​

Moments before Ms. Cooper made the call, the man, Christian Cooper, an avid bird-watcher, had asked her to leash her dog, and she had refused.​

On Monday, Ms. Cooper was charged with filing a false report, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, the latest fallout from an encounter that resonated across the country and provoked intense discussions about how Black people are harmed when sham reports to the police are made about them by white people.​

​

Video of the encounter that Mr. Cooper shot on his phone has been viewed more than 40 million times. It was widely perceived as a startling and sobering example of racial attitudes in New York City, which prides itself on its supposedly progressive ideals.​

The video was posted to Twitter by Mr. Cooper’s sister.​

​

The pending criminal charge against Ms. Cooper appears to be among the first that a white person in the United States has faced for wrongfully calling the police to make a complaint about a Black person.​

​

“We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable,” said Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney.​

​

Ms. Cooper, who was issued a desk appearance ticket on Monday, is scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 14. If convicted, she could receive a conditional discharge or be sentenced to community service or counseling rather than jail time.​

​

Ms. Cooper could not be reached for comment on Monday, but her lawyer, Robert Barnes, said in a statement that she would be found not guilty and he criticized what he called a “cancel culture epidemic” for a rush to judgment.​

​

“She lost her job, her home, and her public life,” Mr. Barnes said. “Now some demand her freedom? How many lives are we going to destroy over misunderstood 60-second videos on social media?”​

​

Mr. Cooper, who has expressed deep ambivalence about the severity of the public response to Ms. Cooper’s actions, said on Monday that he “had zero involvement” in the district attorney’s case against her.a​

​

Asked to comment on the pending charge, he said, “I have no reaction.”​

​

People are rarely charged with filing a false police report, legal experts said, because the authorities do not want to discourage the reporting of crimes and because it can be difficult to prove that a person made a false report knowingly.​

​

But experts said that the evidence in the case against Ms. Cooper was strong and that it could have broader implications in other instances of white people making false police reports against Black people.​

​

“To the extent that this woman was arguably deploying racial stereotypes and weaponizing them, it will make people think twice,” said Nancy Gertner, a Harvard Law School professor and a retired federal judge. “It is a big deal.”"​

Amy Cooper Faces Charges After Calling Police on Black Bird Watcher​

​

A creepy, weird guy approaches a single woman, who is alone in an isolated area of the park and tells her "you won't like what I am going to do...." and attempts to poison her dog......as far as she knew......and she gets in trouble for calling for help...

Are you really this fucking stupid?

 

[Papageorgio]

Yeah, the guy looked real dangerous.

"Looked"? Ted Bundy didn't "look" like a serial killer, neither did John Wayne Gacy.

Does this "women" look like she killed 10 people?

Haven't we learned in the last few weeks that we need to judge people by actions and character and not how they look?

She should have leashed her pet and he could have said could you please leash your dog and then continued on his way but neither were smart enough to deescalate the situation, they both went stupid.

 

[MarcATL]

Got it. Reality did not match your expectations, so it must be a fluke. NOthing to learn here.



That is about what I expected from you.

Like I said, the lesson here is that this type of thing is no longer accepted and one is likely to not only be charged, but arrested, prosecuted and jailed for trying to weaponize (sp) law enforcement like that.

What do you think the lesson is?
