I can’t find any heroes in this story.
You are also a White person who is struggling to reconcile your racist wiring with the evidence of the video. How do you sleep at night?
NP - I don't understand why disagreeing with his tactics makes someone racist. It is not dismissing her behavior in anyway.
NP- It doesn’t necessarily, but if you don’t recognize at least the possibility that : if Mr Cooper had been a middle aged charmingly nerdy white birder who asked Ms Cooper to leash her dog, her response would probably have been extremely different, you’re dismissing the reality of the racism that many of us have to negotiate every time we step outdoors.
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.
You're just making sh!t up.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
