I mean, she is vile, don’t get me wrong, the gentleman was so measured, but clearly she was unhinged.

She got the dog two years ago. There is no excuse - she's just a racist asshole who was hoping to weaponize the police and use her fake "white woman in distress" voice.

Some of my songs include "Put a Leash on Me", "Birds Can't See Color," "Arrested by Love", and "I'm not Karen."

You are disgusting. Why do you think anyone - man or woman - would want to have a relationship with a skank Nazi like Amy Cooper? Just because your own options are limited to uncle leroy and cousin bubba does not mean that others are as indiscriminate as you...

Comments like uncle leroy and cousin bubba almost make you sound like you have some hidden prejudices. Where do you work as I don't want to support anyone that would employ you!

Plus there are apparently Instagram posts showing the poor dog with multiple injuries, so she surrendered him to the place where she had adopted him two years ago.

Top pp's whataboutism is just weird.

Does this happen to you all regularly? I am shocked to see this. Never thought that any woman would cheapen herself like this. The last 4 years in this country has been eye-opening for me and the world.

+2. And someone’s going to have to explain to me why she’s a racist for simply describing the guys race to the police. She obviously went a bit nuts and overreacted but I can’t climb into someone else’s mind and determine the level of threat she felt, even if it was misconstrued.

You are like an ostrich hiding your head in the sand. How have you not seen that police response to black men suspected of crimes have been mistreated, abused and KILLED by police in response. Read about what happened to George Floyd on the same day. Read what happened to Oscar Grant, Stephon Clark, Walter Scott, the list goes on an on. Black men are disportionately shot, assaulted, beaten and killed by police. There are many cases of black men who are nonviolent, unarmed and often times cooperating with police that are abused or killed during a stop. It is all over the media. There is a movement spawned about this called #BlackLivesMatter and generated nationwide coverage. Even if you don't agree, it is amazing to be completely ignorant of the issue. Stop and read about Michael Bloomberg's "stop and frisk" policy that was in place. This was fairly recently and there are still man police who were part of that era and react that way.

She went out of her way to describe him as an African American man and her as a white woman four times in the brief call. And each time she escalated what was happening from threatening her dog to threatening both her and the dog to threatening and attacking her and the dog. And each time she feigns greater and greater anxiety and hysteria like he is doing something to her. In point of fact, he is standing at a distance and videorecording her on the phone. In fact he did nothing aggressive to her and she was the one that was oddly aggressive to him, approaching him and reaching out for his phone until he asked her to please stay away. She was the aggressor, but she called the police and lied to them about what he was doing and their race. She knew that if the police responded to a call of a black man attacking a white woman in the park that they would treat it as a threat situation and neutralize the alleged attacker first before they stopped to assess the situation. They would do all they could to ensure that there would be no violence before trying to determine what happened and as a result, at best, Christian Cooper would be handcuffed and manhandled or at worse beaten, assaulted or shot before he would have any chance of defending himself or his actions. It has happened dozens and dozens of times over just the last few years. And she lied and fabricated a story to get such a response out of the police.

If you can't see the racism and maliciousness of this deceit, then you really need to get out of your white privilege bubble.

You hope there is a law against the Audubon society protecting bird sanctuaries?

+1. You hope there is a law against people protecting themselves against false charges, by filming what actually happened?

His name is Henry and two days ago she surrendered him to the adoption agency she got him from.

Yes. And many people who seem confused by this would apparently prefer: That he carry pepper spray? That the unleashed dogs ruin the protected bird sanctuary area? That something, SOMETHING must be a clear sign of problematic behavior and ill intent in a soft-spoken, Harvard educated, pleasantly nerdy, middle aged birdwatcher? I bet most people who read that description— without also reading “African American — would have viewed the dog treat solution as being both ingenious and commendable.

How on earth is having treats to deal with off leash dogs weird or a threat in any possible way?! WTF?

It's a threat when someone says something like 'you're not going to like this' to the owner and then calls the animal toward them. How is that not clear? Note that it's completely separate from the fact that this woman is a racist and put this man in great harm with her actions. But what he said was creepy.

Please tell me exactly what threat is being made — clearly. Because it’s really not as clear — or, dare I say: not as black and white as you’re making it out to be. What exactly is the threat that’s being made?

The threat he made was that her dog would get non-organic dog treats.

Amy Cooper was angry enough to threaten his life! Don’t mess with white ladies and organic food.

Ack, both of these people are completely insufferable.

I hope that Henry finds a loving forever home with people who actually love animals (and other people).

Question - I'm assuming there would not be this amount of outrage (or any at all) if she had not called the police? Or if she hadn't referred to him as 'African American'? What if she had just said 'F U, I'll do what I want and won't leash my dog' (asshole move for sure, but things like this surely happen every day among people of all races). I'm just trying to differentiate between racist behavior and being a run of the mill asshole (I am white, but have both been the asshole and had others of all races be the asshole to me throughout my life).

This may sound ignorant but I'm trying to understand.
