You understand that Mr Cooper carries treats to encourage people to leash their dogs in the protected bird sanctuary area of the Park? No, he does it to bully dogs into not sharing the space and run. They should not be feeding someone’s dog either but for safety is different. This dog was not a threat especially if he wanted to feed the dog. |
Funny how he only give a small part of the video to his white hating sister to make viral. What really happened before and after. |
PP here for first time since last night. How do I sleep at night? Lately just awful. The world is on fire and we have a garbage president and it’s harder and harder to find decent people. Am I someone who struggles with reconciling racist wiring? Yes. All white people are to some extent. Do I also strive to be anti racist? Yes, I do that too. I do not in any way believe his behavior justified her. But let me ask you to examine your heart of hearts. If you heard this story and the roles were reversed and it was a large white guy and a small black woman in the same roles, and white guy tells her to leash her dog or she won’t like what he does and calls the dog over to him, that you would think the black girl had every right to feel intimidated? A Cooper showed her stripes. She’s paying for it. I don’t like mob mentality but the behavior was indefensible and she’s hardly a sympathetic character. Also C Cooper has every right to scold her, and bait her I guess and even video her. He explicitly says on his own twitter and then in an interview that he carries the dog treats to frighten people into leashing their dogs. He says you won’t like what I’ll do and tried calling the dog over. How the heck does anyone not see that as creepy AF? Like dude is threatening some vague harm will come to Fido. I hate racism more than I hate obnoxious behavior and men who belittle and intimidate women but both things were on display here. Again I’m not defending her actions even slightly. But all this celebration of this guys bad behavior and boasting about it baffles me. |
Even if we put aside the death-by-cop angle to this story, her treatment of the dog was horrific. As a dog lover, I was so distracted by what she was doing to the poor dog, which was obviously in distress, that I didn't grasp right away how she was putting the birdwatcher in danger.
Her behavior with the dog in itself was reprehensible and should have gotten her ass fired, let alone her "An African American man is threatening myself and my dog" routine. |
After reading an article on Ms. Cooper’s stalking of a coworker, I’m really starting to believe this woman is on the spectrum. |
Oh pleeease. The dog was fine. Yes the dog was pulled around by the neck but he looked fine after. Dogs have very strong necks. They are not people. |
She clearly has a medical problem and the internet lynch mob wants to eviscerate her. ![]() |
The birdwatcher wasn’t quite operating with a full deck either, but that doesn’t fit the narrative. |
I just looked at the video again. The dog is uncomfortable at times but fine. She finally gets the leash on in the last second when the video is skillfully edited. |
The video is 96 secs long. The dog is slightly choking for about 3-4 seconds. Amy is bent over to protect the dogs neck for most of the time. GEEZ you people will say anything to promote your story. |
You're just making sh!t up. |
I find it interesting that this thread is 87 pages long and is being dominated by people who are offended that a white woman got in trouble for a taped interaction with a black man during which she called the cops on the black man, but there are only 51 pages on the "I can't breathe" thread about George Floyd, a black man who was actually killed by a cop.
The Amy Cooper incident has really triggered the non-liberals on this thread. It truly is fascinating. The whole taped interaction has been dissected to death on this thread with the right-wingers heavily invested in denying that Amy was using any white privilege and stating or implying that the black birdwatcher was the problem. Even the poor dog, that was so clearly mistreated that it was RECLAIMED by the rescue she got him from, apparently was "uncomfortable" and "only choking for 3-4 seconds" according to conservatives. Fox News has rewired your brains or something. I can't think of another explanation. |

Huh? Its mostly triggered liberals who are obsessed with these nutzos in the video. Anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you is called a racist...so lame. |
Like Trump? So we call evil doers "on the spectrum" now? Is this a White thing? |
Where is the rest of the video? Where is him asking her to put the dog on the leash and where is the after that when the two of them left or the police came? Look at who is sister is who posted the video. She works for the CW and is posting controversial stuff and racist comments against whites and others regularly. This was probably deliberate especially given he carries the treats regularly and clearly had a plan. |
