NYC Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and other city officials say there may be merit in digging deeper into in the Amy Cooper situation in which a white woman walking her dog in Central Park made false report against Christian Cooper (no relationship) a black man bird watching in Central Park.
While bird watching in Central Park on Monday, Christian Cooper noticed a large cocker spaniel off its leash which is a violation in that section of Central Park.
What he captured would be witnessed by tens of millions of people: Amy Cooper called police to report she was being threatened by “an African American man,” a phrase she repeated several times more.
Christian Cooper, a Harvard University grad, in the video clearly did not pose a threat to the dog owner.
In the meantime Amy Cooper issued an apology to Christian Cooper saying, “”I sincerely and humbly apologize to everyone, especially to that man, his family,” she told NBC New York.
