White Woman Who Called 911 On Black Birdwatcher Made Second Call Alleging He Tried to “Assault” Her

‘Central Park Karen’ Claims She 'Forced Into Hiding' After Birdwatcher Encounter Went Viral, Denies Being Racist

We all remember Amy Cooper, the white woman who called 911 on Christian Cooper, the Black man who was bird-watching in Central Park. We heard her pathetic cry as she accused Christian of threatening her over her unleashed dog, but what we didn’t know was that she placed a second call accusing him of trying to assault her.

Amy’s false reports caused her to be fired from her position at the Franklin Templeton Investment Firm and resulted in a third-degree misdemeanor charge. Prosecutors’ recent revelation does not help her image. She virtually appeared at her first hearing in front of a Manhattan judge Wednesday morning for her May racist encounter with Christian.

Back in May, Christian was able to record Amy calling 911 after he asked her to leash her dog and obey the park’s visible signage that unleashed dogs were prohibited. Karen—I mean Amy, was seen crying to 911 that she was being harassed and threatened by an “African American man.”

This wasn’t the case at all, the only sense of threat Amy could have possibly felt was a threat to her power by a Black man. The second call she placed further supported that her actions were racist and lies: according to assistant district attorney Joan Illuzzi, Amy alleged Christian tried to assault her.

Amy and Christian’s encountered went viral, and she was broadly criticized. Like many simple-minded people who have found themselves in similar situations, Amy apologized and denounced that she was racist.

There is a chance that she could settle her criminal case. According to the Washington Post, she’s hoping to find a solution that “can provide an opportunity for introspection and education.” Apparently, there are programs designed for people like her that can help them understand their actions and educate on the dangers of their racist actions.

“We hope that this process will enlighten, heal, and prevent similar harm to our community in the future,” Illuzzi stated. However, she did not speak on the terms of the deal being offered to Cooper and her defense team, Robert Barnes.

It is expected that the two parties will reach a settlement deal on November 17. Hopefully, Amy will learn to watch her actions and be responsible for her white privilege.

“Using the police in a way that was both racially offensive and designed to intimidate is something that can’t be ignored,” Illuzzi said Wednesday.
