Amy Cooper, Woman In Viral Central Park Confrontation, Charged With Filing A False Report​

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Amy Cooper, the white woman who was seen on camera calling 911 and falsely accusing Chris Cooper, an African-American man, of threatening her in Central Park, is now facing charges.

[…]

Her reaction sparked public outrage and, as a result, Amy Cooper lost her job and temporarily surrendered her dog. Up until Monday, she hadn’t faced charges.

[…]

The Manhattan district attorney announced the charges Monday, also encouraging anyone who has been the target of false reporting to reach out, saying, “We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable.”

Added Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams: “We can arrest someone for pulling a fire alarm, we can surely arrest someone for attempting to burn down a life of an innocent person.”

Amy Cooper is due in court on Oct. 4. She could face up to a year in jail for the misdemeanor charge.

This is a good thing - she should be for diverting police from performing and responding to real incidences where they were needed. - Glad they are taking a hard line on this

As is charging rioters and looters and the many criminals in NYC that have been creating mayhem, property destruction, assaults and murder … NYC has become lawless and they need to crack down on these other serious crimes as well.
