A white woman walking her dog who called the police during a videotaped dispute with a Black man in Central Park was charged Monday with filing a false report.
In May, Amy Cooper drew widespread condemnation for calling 911 to report she was being threatened by “an African-American man” when bird watcher Christian Cooper appeared to keep his distance as he recorded her rant on his phone.
District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a statement on Monday that his office had charged Amy Cooper with falsely reporting the confrontation, a misdemeanor. She was ordered to appear in court on Oct. 14.
After the backlash, Amy Cooper released an apology through a public relations service, saying she “reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about his intentions.”
“He had every right to request that I leash my dog in an area where it was required,” she said in the written statement. “I am well aware of the pain that misassumptions and insensitive statements about race cause and would never have imagined that I would be involved in the type of incident that occurred with Chris.”

She suffers from a condition that is almost completely limited to Democrats. It’s called “Pathological Stupidity”.
And you know what the funniest thing about this whole story is? That she will still vote democrat! LOL
Her photo should also not be posted here…
Please be more careful what photos you post on YWN! Some Bnei Torah actually visit this site…..Just had parshas Bolok….
When’s the last time a black person was charged with creating a hoax “hate crime”? It happens all the time, and yet nobody is ever charged.
@sugya25: And if they are not Bnei Torah it’s ok?
Too much love for her stupid dog is מקלקל את השורה
to the bnei torah worriers dont come on the news and then expect it should be really clean you should know its 2020 this is what the street is and becouse this has the name YESHIVA doesent mean its for bnei torah
and you should throw away your smartphone in the first place
what’s wrong with the photo? dog looks tzniusdik to me.
mom12 …. whats wrong with the photo?
dteiler: I have enative kosher internet -as advised by the gedolim, no treifeh smart phone that as you correctly write should be thrown away….!
One of the sites they have checked to be kosher and allowed is YWN…….
Geula- We’re all supposed to be Bnei Torah…….
EmunaLivesWithin: When did you last visit a doctor????
dteiler: 181 thousand Jewish men, who were born in the midbor (not Mitzrayim!)- and never saw a treifeh billboard in their life- were mezaneh with bnos Moav, and we shouldn’t demand a ‘kosher’ website to be clean???
Ben Torah- you obviously are not, but Am Ho’oretz D’oraysoh- you don’t have to be!!!!
Sugya25, “when did you last visit a doctor” …… not sure what thats supposed to mean. But based on your comments to others it seems like u live in a bubble.
I guess seeing a woman in pants gets ur rocks off. If that offends you , you shouldn’t have internet at all and you shouldn’t leave your house either.
If thats what that photo does to you i can only imagine how you would act if u walked outside!
EmunaLivesWithin: Sad -some people are so immersed in the dung-they can’t even smell it anymore…….Time to awaken that emunah that lives within…….
and to you Sugya 25 you know you dont have any rav what gave you the heter to sit and waste your time on any website and there is no gedoilem what gave heter to use internet for entertaiment even kosher websites whats called YESHIVA and you should know that this kind have people what cant smell anymoer… started just like you so again dont come in here and say miser for every body becouse using internet not for buissnes purpospes is only made for people you hate and you call them that thay cant smell anymore… so go further to sugya 26… now yung teen dont write back stupid comments like before just THINK about it
dteilier: “anymoer… started just like you so again dont come in here and say miser for every body becouse using internet not for buissnes purpospes…”
Seriously? I’m supposed to respond to this????
