Amy Cooper knew exactly what she was doing. That’s the wildest and most insidious part of all this ― the part we haven’t been talking about enough.
What was clear in her words and how she used them was that she didn't actually feel physically threatened - rather, she was wielding her privilege as a white woman with the knowledge that accusing a Black man of violence was a weapon against him.
Her now-deleted LinkedIn profile revealed that Cooper went to school in Canada, at the University of Waterloo. Her name appears in a Waterloo student publication, but there’s evidence yet that she’s a Canadian citizen though people on social media have called for her deportation.
Please don't deport her back to Canada; rather, deport her to a Red State with MAGA Red Hat and a T-shirt emblossomed with, "I am a white woman deserving of my special privilege in a place where I know I would get it.",
Canadian "niceness" taking a licking in the cooments section of this article.
And what about the other Cooper - Christian Cooper, the Harvard-educated New York senior biomedical editor and former comic book editor.
His side of the story.
After all of this, who was threatening whom?
There should be a law to charge Amy Cooper. In Trump's America Christian Cooper could have lost his life.
Amy Cooper’s Call To The Police Wasn’t Innocent — It Was A Racist Act Of Violence.
While police heard the voice of a woman in distress, the video shows her threatening the man — who was asking her to put her dog on a leash — and saying just before the call, “I’m going to tell them there’s an African-American man threatening my life.”
As Amy Cooper began trending on Twitter, the video revealed a culture of violence around false calls to police. The US battles a storied history of policing black men, as well as constant black deaths across the country as a result of police brutality. Critics have since seen the Amy Cooper video to be just another example of the power white people continue to yield over black men as not only dangerous, but life-threatening
I’m curious. I wonder how long it took police to appear on the scene after she demanded they come immediately.
When they arrived, both parties had already left
