A white woman called Amy Cooper was walking her dog on May 25 morning while Christian Cooper (no relation) was bird-watching at a wooded area of Central Park. They got into a dispute after Christian, a black man, reminded Amy that the dog was not on a leash, contrary to the area's rules.
Part of their encounter was recorded video, which was posted on socialmedia and went viral rapidly. In the video, the woman frantically tells police he is threatening her and her dog.
"I'm taking a picture and calling the cops," Amy Cooper is heard saying in the video. "I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening my life."

Above everything else, I am a mother. I am a mother to four black childrenin America, one of whom is 18 years old. When I saw the murder of George Floyd, I hurt like a mother would hurt. Yesterday when I heard there’re rumors about violent protests in Atlanta, I do like a mother would do—I called my son and I sAId “where are you”.
"What I see happening on the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta. This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr.This is chaos..."
If y’all don’t stop with this “go out and vote” shit. We had a whole black president and still got slaughtered in the streets, Pooh. Tell me who to vote for?!
Voting is not enough; America had a Black President, Black Attorney General and nothing changed. This is beyond politics; it’s systematic and endemic. Period!!!
Voting doesn’t work. It hasn’t and it never will. Since the elite control the elections and the process. We are tired of turning the other cheek and talking. The time now is for action.
