Photo: @melodyMcooper/Twitter On Monday morning — Memorial Day — Christian Cooper was bird-watching in the wooded area of Central Park known as the Ramble when he saw a dog off leash. Cooper, a black man, asked the dog’s owner, a white woman, to leash her dog and the next thing he knew, the woman was calling the cops, telling Cooper,
“I’m sorry, I’m in the Ramble, and there’s a man — African-American, he has a bike helmet — he is recording me and threatening me,” Amy told police, repeatedly emphasizing Christian Cooper’s race before shrieking again, more dramatically, that she was being threatened.The NYPD told CNN that when officers responded to the call, neither Amy Cooper nor Christian Cooper were there, and that no arrests or summons were made.
In the hours after the video was posted, Amy Cooper’s dog, a cocker spaniel named Henry, was surrendered to the rescue from which Amy Cooper had adopted him several years ago, and Franklin Templeton, the multinational investment firm where Amy Cooper worked as the head of insurance investment solutions, suspended her.
