In 2020, a white woman, Amy Cooper, called 911 to claim she was being threatened by “an African American man”, Christian Cooper, who had confronted her for walking her dog without a leash in New York’s Central Park. (After a video of the confrontation was widely circulated, Amy Cooper lost her job with investment firm Franklin Templeton and was charged with filing a false police report; the charge was dismissed after she completed a counseling program.) #AmyCooper |
