NYC Woman Fired After Falsely Accusing Black Man of 'Attacking' Her | NowThis

‘I’m gonna tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life.’ — This woman called the police on a Black birdwatcher after he asked her to leash her dog in accordance with park policy. She's since been fired.

In US news and current events today, NYC woman Amy Cooper had her dog off-leash in a section of Central Park that is popular for birdwatching, a section where dogs must be leashed. Chris Cooper (no relation) began filming after she refused to restrain her dog when he asked. 'I’m gonna tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,' the NYC woman said.

The confrontation in Central Park was posted by the man’s sister, who says her brother left to continue birdwatching after he stopped filming. The NYC Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information noted that ‘police were called to the Central Park Ramble for a report of an assault,' and that no arrests or summonses were issued. The woman in the video has since been fired after the viral video took off online.

Dog: "can I call the police for this woman choking me to death".

[jjhiggs]

Her apology translation: “I am sincerely sorry that I got caught”

[raphaelpopa]

It’s funny how she said, “There’s an African American threatening me and my dog, ” but the dog seemed threatened for the way she held her dog’s collar. SMH

[runnusinha]

The way she is treating her dog is breaking my heart😔

[alphafitter]

“He’s threatening me and my dog” as she almost kills her dog choking it...

[yaheerd]

“He’s recording and he’s threatening myself and my dog”

**Dog literally choking**
DOG: am I a joke to you?

[BOREDOM]

"There is an African-American man threatening my life."

Says the woman literally choking her dog.

[Sadhrita]

The fact that he even recorded this saved him 😭 why are some women like this

[mindofosh]

She said: "Words are just words" to her they are just words, but to him those words could have cost him his life.

[ivnoormann]

She’s wasn’t sorry for falsely accusing a man dangerous. She’s sorry she got caught

[justmegumi]

The fact that she dosen’t even know she’s choking her dog and trying to arrest an innocent man makes me wanna cry 😭😭😭

[arpitsharma]

Imagine how the police would have treated this man if he hadn't recorded this. She is not even attached to her dog, what kinda person is she.

[arjentolaichoy]

Notice how before she calls she says, "I'm gonna tell them that there's an African American man threatening my life". She knew the power in this statement and went in with the full intention of wrongfully incriminating him. Disgusting .

[carlitosssr]

just imagine what would have happened if he hadn't recorded it

[passioneye-tgpw]

“He’s threatening me and my dogs life!”



Continues to strangle dog

[SynthRockViking]

Fired doesn't cut it..She needs a nice 100 days in prison (minimum) for abuse of the, ignorant, system, and hatecrime.

[HawksNestYT]

The way she’s playing victim while choking her dog out has me furious.

[pabloruedafernandez]

I hate the part when she starts screaming in a panic voice like she was being attacked. Disgusting human being

[scottamon]

Now imagine if this guy did not record her stupidity.

[teedew]

So she abused her dog, and made a false police report, and that’s all, she’s free to go?
