A white woman who called the police and falsely accused a Black man of threatening
her life after he asked her to put her dog on a leash in Central Park faces a criminal charge, the Manhattan district attorney said on Monday.
Amy Cooper, the woman in the park encounter — which was recorded on video, touching off intense discussions about false police reports made by white people
about Black people — will be charged with filing a false report, a misdemeanor
punishable by up to a year in jail.
“Today our office initiated a prosecution of Amy Cooper for falsely reporting an
incident in the third degree,” Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the district attorney, said.
“We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable.”

Excellent news. Other than being booked, she probably won't spend one minute in
jail, but obtaining a conviction is still a good thing.
She was threatened, and she was assaulted, and she should have her job back, it's
wrongful termination. She didn't say he was threatening "her life," just that he
was threatening, which he did, and he was. He should be issued a citation, if anyone should, not her.
Those who say Floyd's death was racism are racists. My countryman was killed, and
that is a crime!
Are you people entirely ignorant as to the law? Saying: "you're not going to like
what I do next," (to you nonlegally) and taking out dog treats and saying "here pup," is both threatening, and assault!
He had also already accosted her!
As usual, the U.S. criminal justice system is overzealous, and out of line. The
same sort of denigration that got Floyd killed. Of course, he was about to drive
drunk, and had just committed petty larceny and counterfeiting, a Federal crime.
Both issues that could be addressed and solved holistically, rather than by the violent, false sense of solution, the U.S. criminal justice system, gives us. He
was held without indictment, a violation of the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. And now he's dead.
Amy should sue over wrongful termination. These damn companies have no right. Or else get her job back with extra pay for loosing her home. But the whole thing's an outrage.
I guess the people charging her with a crime, are now committing a crime. Simulation of legal process, under color of law, etc. All actions taken against
her are hereby false. False restraint, false arrest, false imprisonment, assault
with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, disturbing the peace. Those administrating justice should be more careful, before seeking to exact the power of the sword, against others. They should walk softly, and we all know they carry a big stick.
Should Amy defend herself from all further persecution with a knife, we've all seen what happened to Floyd. Don't expect to not see it again. Now upon a white
woman.
There are two sides to every legal case. Scapegoating someone with a presumption,
that they're going to tell the officer anything other than what happened, when he
arrives, is a jump to conclusions; and it looks like they both left. But those who persist in perpetuating the altercation after the fact, are now truly to blame.
The point that Christian could be arrested upon mere accusation of a threat, is a
failure of the legal system, and he could have ended up like Floyd. Without two
or more witnesses, or a video recording, how could he be indicted? Murdering and
stealing in secret have always been the problem. Neither is alleged when someone
makes a threat. Murdering in broad daylight without justifiable cause is what we
witness when zealousness for blood atonement overtakes respect for human sovereignty. The Justice system is supposed to be the exception, not the norm. It
has been made the norm, not the exception, by sadists, and economic inequality, and mismanaged social problems, such as drugs.
We all deserve education. We all deserve food and housing. Making zero $ at the
bottom ensures violence at the bottom. Every sane civilization begins with Sanitation and Population Planning. We have neither. If we go more Socialist, we
still have to keep aware of capital savings.

"Christian’s Facebook post is actually the best evidence that he is not guilt-free
here:
"ME: Ma’am, dogs in the [Bramble] have to be on the leash at all times. The sign
is right there.
“HER: The dog runs are closed. He needs his exercise.”
At this point, Christian performs a self-own for the ages:
“ME: Look, if you’re going to do what you want, I’m going to do what I want, but
you’re not going to like it. HER: What’s that? ME [to the dog]: Come here, puppy!
“HER: He won’t come to you.”
"ME: We’ll see about that... I pull out the dog treats I carry for just such intransigence. I didn’t even get a chance to toss any treats to the pooch before
Karen scrambled to grab the dog.
“HER: DON’T YOU TOUCH MY DOG!!!!!”
See the video for what happened next:

So the people perpetrate and requalify her intention without proof. She did "threaten" to tell the cops someone was "threatening her life." But on the phone
she only told them someone was "threatening me and my dog." Which he was. The supposed Faux distress she adopted was the result of a stressful moment while the
dispatcher could not hear her after her third try, and the dog began behaving wildly, during an admittedly stressful altercation with another person.
The comment: "I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening
[my life.]" Is a statement of fact. Who's racist? Who's qualifying and interpreting, and reading their prejudices into this? So she made a miss-comment
in a moment of duress, when she said "my life."
The antics against Amy are an obvious case of scapegoating and reverse racism:
"By the time police arrived, Christian and Amy were both gone. Melody [Cooper], a
writer, was stunned and put the video on Twitter.
"All I could think of was the police arriving and throwing him to the ground and
putting him in a chokehold," she said."
Is this Amy's fault?
Then the article goes on to discuss a "history of white women accusing black men."
Another article asks "how many people has Amy passed over for promotion behind
closed doors because they were black and just 'didn't fit'"
Who's being scapegoated and made a victim of racism here? Who and what are the culprit? Is the criminal justice system not a menace to society? Are the unequally poor, not unrighteously disenfranchised? Are black people, not more often unequally poor, so that their contemperaries get into more altercations with
the law, suspecting and scapegoating all of them unfairly? Do we have a valid civilization, with such economic inequality? No. We. Do. Not. Perhaps you're happy because you're rich or white. That is not the perspective of the poor.

It should also be noted, that this is during COVID times, and closed dog runs are
an unstudied and circumspect concept, possibly violating her rights. That she was
under pressure and duress due to both, makes a difference here, yet the simple facts speak for themselves.
Qualifications which forgive, have merit. Qualifications which damn, are bullshit.
Saying Amy is a racist is defamation of character, slander and libel.
Ego is bad. But jacking people is worse. And we have a right to walk our dogs and watch birds. Everyone's equal in Spirit, and cost and expense. We have unequal assets and unequal returns on those assets. There ought to be more equal
opportunity, and the population is largely to blame. We ought to all have self-esteem in spite of achievements, even as we all attempt to have achievements.
We will make something out of something, and if we make nothing out of something, we sure will make nothing out of nothing. God loves and forgives you
all, and desires your enrichment.
