If they had stayed at the scene (they both had left) the man may have wound up dead and the video/phone taken into custody and held as evidence. And his sister would at best be on a local news network demanding a fair trial for what she "believes" to be murder of her brother and for the "tapes/recording" to be released. that is the general status quo for these type of events when the possible victim doesn't survive to tell their side of the story and its all left upto the Amy's and Police to tell us what that blackman was "really" doing that day. i am 95% certain had he stayed at the scene he would be dead and the message in the news, by Amy and the police would be a complete 180 from what we see here.

His presence of mind and calm rational thought are an inspiration. So pleased to see this lady held accountable for her tirade. Unlike Christian I’m not going to graciously forgive and accept. I think her behaviour was monstrous and I believe it is a window to exactly who SHE is and what the system is. Once we accept that truth... our action should be easier to divine. We should stop pretending that this is unusual behaviour. It’s systemic.

@Medi Cogglet - Mr. Cooper is in his 50s, and his father was a civil rights activist in the 1960s on Long Island. So yes, his parents certainly discussed issues of race with him. He has said in other interviews that his father taught him and his sister to always speak up when they see wrongdoing. Your comment that "all that white adjacentness made him forget who he is to the power structure" is quite insulting. You bet he won't do that sort of thing again? Do you expect him to now bow down to entitled white people because of this experience? I doubt that he viewed asking some random woman (white or otherwise) to leash her dog as something that would lead to such a widespread discussion on racism in this country. However, some people are willing to take risks in the name of progress and the greater good. If everyone cowered in the face of perceived danger and never stood up for what they believe in, then no progress would ever be made.

What she did was the new version of "that black man looked at me" which used to get Black men lynched. I don't feel sorry for her loss of job, but I disagree with death threats. Now they call the police and say "that black men threatened me" and pretend to cry or be in fear. Did you hear the warble in voice to try to get the police to send someone right away? She should be charged with calling 9/11 inappropriately and calling in a false report.

Keith Bell The calculated way that she play-acted being afraid & accused him of threatening her life without a second thought, was chilling. She’s both dangerously racist & dangerously devoid of empathy. I know she’d likely be charged with false reporting, at worst, but what she really did was closer to attempted murder. He may be physically ok, but this kind of trauma causes long term harm. I agree that her consequences should at least match the damage she inflicted.

Amy Cooper isn’t sorry at all. In her “apology”, she claimed that she felt threatened. That was a blatant lie and disgusting excuse. A threatened woman will have ran away. Not stood there to be “threatened”. The tone of her voice changed when she was making the police call. To her, the police served as a weapon. She is a horrible person and who is not the tiniest bit remorseful about her actions. Her “apology” is all about damage control and a feeble attempt to justify her actions.

I'm just saying what many already see. Forgiveness? Not deserved Death threats? Not needed Has she learned anything from this? She's shallow, only thing that's going to stick with her is that next time don't do it when people are watching Punishment? That's not what this is about. So what's it about? DIGNITY & EMPATHY & RESPECT & LISTENING Anyone reading thus far, bless your patience, be like Chris, do some bird watching, and if you have a dog, only let them off the leash where you're allowed to.

It doesnt matter. Too many police hate educated people. Many of them have high school. Diplomas go to police academy and think that badge and gun make them above the law. To protect, who.the ones they feel.they want to protect. She was in the wrong. He should have called animal control,but either way he was the victim. Yes.she felt superior and would have gloated if he had been.arrested. I have seen many White women, do.the same thing. Sneer,accuse, belittle etc. She really didn't want him in that neighborhood. My ancestors are of many ethnicities but I dont consider myself Caucasian. Regardless of our ethnic ancestry, dogs are animals and trained to.attack. Trained to be vicious. Etc. That dog could have viciously attacked the man.then,she would have lied to cover her own violation of the rules. Put your dog on a lease. If i.am not mistaken, didn't she put the lease on before she called the police. She definitely could not control dog.she may have deeper problems and may need professional COUNSELING. She may have been.attacked at some time and not necessarily by a man of color. Train your dog, but also obey the law.

Look where it's got us George Floyd RIP and all the others all the way back to Rodney King. Maybe we need to start making people accountable for their actions, death threats no but I think the punishment of losing her dog and her job fits the crime so next time she wants to use her white privilege I think she will defo think twice people. They should do that to all racists and see how quick they are to be so wicked and evil.

So why should we as Black people be so quick to forgive? Amy Cooper broke the law, by making a fake 911 call, and potentially endangered Chris Cooper’s life. All she offered was a half-hearted apology.

The police had a call to make upon arriving.

However, they did not make that call to reprimand her in any way. Why? She had committed an infraction at the least, a criminal act mostly. I want to know why she was not arrested, cited?

This does not sound like someone who just 'had a bad day', it looks more like someone who's used to using deceit and manipulation to get what she wants and to avoid taking responsibility for her actions.

Melody did the right thing by posting the video in this situation. She basically opened up the door for a discussion on racism, which is still prevalent in our Country. Her brother is extremely smart and knowledgeable. He needs to educate us with his knowledge. I was watching another news segment portraying the three generations of African America men. The older man was extremely anger. The middle generation man was trying to calm the older man down by showing and saying he was listening to him. Then, the middle generation man was talking to the younger generation man asking him what we need to do about it to fix it. After the incident, the middle generation man explains to the viewers why he acted in the way he did. This man has so much passion and ability to relate to the angry men. He is a modern Martin Luther King, Jr. Now, we need to get this modern Martin Luther King, Jr and this very educated man together to preach and teach America. The door has been open. Now we need to walk through.

I’m conflicted about the dog. Yes she was choking the dog (assuming no history of prior abuse) but if the dog was adopted, placing it into another new home would be detrimental to the dog. I wonder how long she had the dog. I know I would go postal if anybody took my pets from me. I also wonder what was the contract she entered with the shelter. Pets are ( unfortunately) property. And you can’t just take away property without a crime being committed (she wasnt charged with anything I know of) or restitution. Christian demonstrated so much grace and insight, I will try to be more like him.

This is the best, most revealing interview that exists of Christian Cooper (and his sister)! It shows SO CLEARLY the incredible character of Mr. Cooper (and his fierce, loving sister). The questions are simple yet cover every essential, and Mr. Cooper shines through like a guiding light. Some say he was too forgiving/nice. In other interviews, he's more clear that he really doesn't care if the woman lost her job and such: she brought it on herself. He is adamant that the death threats are completely unacceptable, though. Christian Cooper seems like a truly honest man who would be willing to look at himself and admit mistakes when necessary but still have pride and self-love when necessary too. Leading by example! Because this is what we hope for from the Karen, and from anyone and all of ourselves.

@@rosejames5172 He's not defending her, he's just trying not to rush to judgement. He's saying Possibly she might reflect and grow from this, and be Really sorry, and he'd forgive her. She might, if she's really willing to look at herself and if she possesses much humanity and empathy: doubtful, but it might. He's just acknowledging that everyone is human; honestly I've rarely heard a wiser man, this guy is a total inspiration. It does seem sort of "too nice": reminds me of the people at that church in South Carolina in 2015 who forgave the murdering Monster - and also those Amish people in Pennsylvania in 2006 where 5 school children were killed!! These acts of forgiveness are utterly jaw-dropping, and yes, they seem crazy. But maybe Anger is crazy; dunno: I couldn't forgive like that. But Chris is alive. To me, he's a superb role model: not only brilliant, sensitive, articulate, caring, but emotionally brilliant as well. His sister is also great, wanting to shine a light, as she said, on this rot, and she succeeded. Bright family, may they shine forever.

When Christian Cooper's life gets back to 'normal' - I think he should be engaged to present a TV series about the wildlife in New York. If he wants to, of course. I'm really curious about whether there IS any wildlife in New York - I never imagined Central Park was a wildlife haven! He and his fellow Ramble bird watchers can edify me with their stories about the most unexpected things that can be found there. I know what's going on is more serious - I just keep wanting to ask him what was the rarest fauna/flora he's seen there. I expect he's going to keep defending the biodiversity and integrity of the place. More power to your elbow, Mr. Cooper! Keep fighting the good fights.

It's people like you that attempt to minimize crimes and the actions of the attackers.
