I THINK MR. COOPER WOULD BE GREAT ON A YOU TUBE CHANNEL ABOUT BIRDING!! A TEACHER!

AMEN! How can we get him to do it???

He should start an onlyfans. I'd watch his bird alright.

He cute

Merri Rich I think so too. ❤️

Yep...he loves birds. He is a wonderful human being.

Ms Cooper was just trying to get exercise for her dog. If only Mr Cooper tried to explain the importance of dog leashes in this lovely bird watching are, he could have made a friend instead of a target.

@@aixamagr2897 I know that you mean well, but this is a covert form of victim blaming. He did the right thing in the situation he was in and shouldn't have needed to over-explain the rules of the park or overtly showcase his humanity to get her to leash her dog. She should've just followed the leash law and not have called the cops on a Black man literally doing nothing but bird watching (Black people have been killed by cops for doing far less [ex: Breonna Taylor being murdered while just sleeping in her bed]). Her being called out for her racism and losing her job is a far better outcome than this man potentially losing his life.

Yeah. That posture is for the birds.

@@PsychedelicSmurf Chris Cooper, is NOT a police officer and has no business, explaining anything, to anyone. He is a busy body with a big nose and a big mouth. He uses his big nose, to stick in other people's business then uses his big mouth to complain about how they react, instead of just leaving them alone, in the first place.

@@SisiYemmieTV Hell yeah sis! Anytime is a good time for a person to start birding if they feel ready! I have known folks who started birding when they were 5, and also folks who got hooked at 40! It is a bit of a pricey hobby, but if you can put aside some for a used 8x42 pair of binoculars in good conditions, it will be a fantastic start! Or you can just begin without any tools, and try to challenge yourself with learning birds you can see and hear around the neighborhood. Enjoy!

And so knowledgeable about birds and I am scared of birds ever since Hitchcock’s birds but this makes me appreciate nature and beauty all around us,

And also extremely unlikely

Birding, not birdwatching.

Karen Byrd thanks for clarifying and teaching something new. Always fascinated by things like this. What tells you (in the video) that he’s doing “avian dinosaur” watching, as opposed to just birding, or birdwatching?

I am enjoying watching him while he enjoys himself birdwatching ...

I know !!

I would love to go Bird watching, Birding, etc... with this Awesome Intelligent Man.....🐦🐥 I too LOVE Birds....

I would totally watch. I live in London and know a bit about British birds, but I knew hardly any of these. What a strange world where a horrible news story about racism leads to a gentle man educating us about wildlife. Sort of beautiful in a weird way.

YESSSS I HOPE THAT HAPPENS

That would be interesting. Definitely would be nice to see more nature shows and he would help fight the stereotype the media regurgitates

Yes

Totally!!

I bet you feeling fucking stupid now that the truth has come out huh?

No one. That’s the point. She was never scared. Obviously. She just wanted her way.

I think she was just outraged at having him point out her rule breaking, his insistence that she stop & his refusal to be back down in the face her dangerous racist ploy to salve her own ego. He was far more protective of those birds, than she was of her dog. After being given the grace to have her dog returned, I hope she treats him/ her like royalty from now on & I hope she’s learned what ugliness can fester inside us, when we refuse to be accountable & seek to scapegoat others, instead. She has a troubling history of harassing people.

Heather King-Smith I agree. Now imagine her being a teenager. More horrific school experience dose not exist.

he implied a threat against her dog and tryed to get it to come to him with treats. He pre-meditated the event also as he himself stated.

Only blatant racists! She would probably have said nothing if it was a white man asking her to leash her dog. This woman should get a fine for her racist behavior and for threatening an innocent man!

Good luck to you both.

@@vibrantpixeIs You didn't read his facebook account of what happened before the recording like most people haven't. The original minute+ video and this report don't mention it and it makes the story here incomplete and misleading. Most MSM aren't telling people HOW she was threatened. She also never told 911 her life was in danger. Even she realized that was going too far. Here is a part of what she said about the threat: “When Chris began offering treats to my dog and confronted me in an area where there was no one else nearby and said, ‘You’re not going to like what I’m going to do next,’ I assumed we were being threatened when all he had intended to do was record our encounter on his phone,” Ms. Cooper said. “He had every right to request that I leash my dog in an area where it was required.” www.nytimes.com/2020/05/26/nyregion/amy-cooper-dog-central-park.html Chris cooper's explanation: m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158742137255229&id=671885228 archive: web.archive.org/web/20200628181417/m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158742137255229&id=671885228 Please explain to me how telling someone *You’re not going to like what I’m going to do next* and then pulling something out without telling you what it is, while calling your dog over isn't threatening? A lot of people don't put their dogs on leashes. Black people too. Some people also litter, trespass, make noise etc. Should they all be threatened and so upset they call 911? If Mr Cooper wanted to be more he helpful he could have explained WHY it was so bad to keep the dog off the leash in that area, like he has done for the media. I suspect he was perfectly happy to find someone like Amy Cooper to take make an example of. George Floyed and Ahmaud Arbery were in the news at the time. Mr Cooper knew putting this incomplete inflammatory video would make people think this woman was crazy choking her dog and trying to kill Mr Cooper. Look at these comments. He accomplished this and now is a celebrity. Cooper lost her job and maybe her life if death threats are realized. He was not worried he would be arrested or in any danger. He said himself he continued bird watching after recording. www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/nyregion/central-park-amy-cooper-christian-racism.html IF you think this is progress toward racial/social justice *I wish you the same luck as Amy Cooper*

She definitely overreacted but you'd be lying if you wouldn't be concerned for your dog's safety after what he was trying to do, especially after what he said.

@@jasonmasters243 She didn't call the police because she was concerned with her dog's safety. She had her dog well away from Mr. Cooper whilst attempting to restrain it, before she mentioned calling the police. She was couldn't have been so threatened by Mr. Cooper as she approached *him* in an attempt to block his phone camera from filming her. She asked Mr. Cooper not to film her (with would incriminate and identify her as being a dog-owner in an area of the park that forbids her dog being off its leash, off its leash) he did not comply. THEN she called the police. She even said "please take your phone off me" when he didn't she said "then I'm taking a picture and calling the cops". In what world can this be interpreted as she wasn't calling the police simply because she did not want to be filmed? She said it herself... She proceeded to exaggerate her encounter with him, mentioning his race presumably hoping for a swifter and more heavy-handed response. He, a black man had the gall to disobey executive high-earning white woman and it shook her. So she call her private security to take him away. What am I seeing wrong here?

Times have changed though. Not long ago the media would have sided with the white woman and attacked the black man.

@@pureounce.9184 Have you read his account on facebook where the video is posted? He did threaten her before he began recording. I think his statements to her and calling her dog then the recording where it actually looks like she was about to put on the leash, made her call. His statements weren't in the video. He stayed after she called and the police eventually came. He had left by that time. I think he actually wanted to talk with them. He could have showed them the video.

Exactly what I was thinking! I believe that if this law was enforced more, with a fine included, quite a bit of folks would change their minds about calling the police for b.s.

There's this racist lady by me who would call the cops for absolutely nothing. The cops put her on some list and they said next time she calls and it is not an emergency she will be arrested. The lady has been quiet for the past two years.

He isn't so innocent. He was never in danger. He kept on bird watching after she left. He confronted her and escalated the situation.

Making money by further dividing us. It's wrong for anyone to weaponize race or gender. Whether they are Amy or Christian.

Chinese Virus you have to talk a certain way to be black? Daaaamn along with your user name I would say your kinda racist

Chinese Virus I’m sorry you haven’t met any black bird watchers if anything it shows your lack of awareness when it come to your people.

It’s a shame you feel the need to shame people just because they don’t fit your image of what that person should be. I’m Mexican American but faced this same type of shame from my fellow Mexicans just because I “spoke white”. And was interested in US political and history . I was raise in a predominately white area and grew up around that accent, you are a reflection of where you grow up. It doesn’t mean I’m not proud of being Mexican I go to Mexico every year for two month since I was born to visit my family.

Birds are irritating af.

Systemic oppression and hatred of people based on their melatonin, and the complicated social ramifications, are indeed scary. This man is very obviously not at all "scary" in any way to any sane person at first glance.

This is literally what I thought when the story first hit and he started talking. He’s too nerdy to be a threat 😂

I agree so much! Simple yet redemptive.

This is a beautiful comment❤

Yeah, it totally leaves out where he described in his own words on his own fb page that he looks to scold people for breaking leash laws because he has been bitten before. He then proceeds to explain that he told her she either needed to leash her dog or take it up to the area where they can be off the leash. She explained that there was nobody else in the area and that the designated area to let your dogs run has a gate that the dogs can get out into the street. He then proceeds to tell her "If you think you can do what you want, then I am going to do what I want, and you aren't gonna like it." As a woman alone in the park who just had a very large and fit man tell her this, you would not perceive this as threatening? What isn't she going to like, is he going to report her or is he going to attack her and take her dog? There is always 2 sides tl a story but unfortunately when something is created to be told this way, people don't want to hear the other side. He gave a pretty clear description of what her side may be. If this was you, and a strange man came up to you in an empty area of a park and said these things to you, you wouldn't be concerned? So she calls police and says a black man just threatened her, he is black and he did just threaten her but I suppose we shouldn't say anything so as to not come across as racist when someone who is not white levels a threat at us.

@@brandyb2931 If the biatch had done the right thing, and leash her dog (which was choking on the effing leash), there would be no issues! Come ON!

@@brandyb2931 Bitch all he did after making that "threat" was pull out dog treats and started recording her. THAT is what he meant by doing something she wouldn't like. Exposing for her racism.

Why? He is an instigator. Did you even read his post of what happened in his words? She was wrong but so was he. He threatened her by saying he would do something that she wouldn't like and called her dog over. Then turned the camera on conveniently after. He was just as much of a karen as her. And people just eat up whatever the media shows. Look for all the facts.

Great idea!! Perfect host in every way (well except for the interested single ladies!😂), for a “Bird Watching in the Park” show!! Or simply, “Welcome to Central Park” show!! Seriously!

I feel so calm just watching him

I know right! I Have all kind of birds in my backyard, And they wake my a$$ up 5am every morning 🤬, but after a cup joe ☀️😍 they make u happy. He definitely brought me more interested to listen more to them.

@Sam Cooper Don't be stupid. I know you're just trying to start shit but come on, all she was doing while freaking out was drag her dog away by the neck and was hurting it.

I absolutely love what you wrote! It’s so very true!

😘😘😘😘😘

Deep!

Yesss! 💕

?

No

@Peach Brain You are special.

Exactly! I was just trying to imagine all the awful things they would have come up with to convince us he was a terrible person and that he deserved to die.

it wouldve been hard to sell that one given that he is ivy-league educated.

rick vegas they would have said it anyways. it doesnt matter hes black thats all that matters to cops and most of the public especially trump supporters

Yep that's how it works

@@ricodelavega4511 oh puhhhhhlease!!! They made professor gates of Harvard university look like a criminal. I'm sure they would try to convince the world he is also a "thug".

It’s not the guy, it’s what his (our Black race) represents. The hate is irrational and intentional.

You have a wonderful friend in your life wow.

Jealous! Love him from just these few minutes. I’d love to improve my birding skills to his level. Must be surreal to have this encounter blow up the way it has!

Please tell him some of us wanna keep learning about birds! Maybe a KZfaq or something?

He's such a cool person!

Convince him to do guided bird tours...it would be worth every penny.

It did. He was just birdwatcher before.

thankfully the outcome is for the better. This whole thing could have gone sideways easily
