I just saw this, no doubt other sources, LOTS more at link:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8358173/Bill-Blasio-brands-Central-Park-Karen-racist-calling-911-African-American-bird-watcher.html

White investment banker Amy Cooper, 41, is FIRED after hysterically calling 911 to report an ‘African-American man threatening her life’ when he simply asked her to leash her dog - as she whines that her ‘life is being destroyed’

Video posted Monday shows Amy Cooper threatening to call cops on Christian Cooper, former editor and writer for Marvel Comics, in New York City

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed Cooper as a racist in a tweet on Monday, saying ‘this kind of hatred is not welcome in our city’, after footage of the exchange went viral online

Cooper since said she wanted to ‘publicly apologize to everyone’, insisting she isn’t a racist and didn’t intend to inflict any harm on the African-American community

She says that now the video has sparked widespread outrage online, her ‘entire life is being destroyed’

Christian says he asked the woman to put the dog on a leash in a protected wildlife area of Central Park

Cooper is seen petting her dog then suddenly asks the man to stop filming her

When he doesn’t stop, she says she’s going to tell cops ‘an African American man threatening my life’

The woman calls 911 and repeats to cops that an African American man is recording her dog

‘I’m being threatened by a man in the Ramble, please send the cops immediately’, she shouts at him

People also complained she was choking her dog Henry, so she voluntarily returned the dog to the rescue shelter where she got him from

Cooper has since been fired from her $170K per-year job as head of insurance investment solutions at Franklin Templeton, following the conclusion of an internal investigation

Adding to Cooper’s woes, president of the Central Park Civic Association, Michael Fischer, is urging Mayor de Blasio to permanently ban her from the park

Cooper, 41, said after social media users called for her firing: ‘I sincerely and humbly apologize to everyone, especially to that man, his family’

It looks like Amy Cooper, the white woman in the viral Central Park video, is a liberal. That’s important

When you jump to assume she’s a MAGA campaigner or a Trump supporter due to her actions, you erase the very real problem of white liberal racism

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/amy-cooper-central-park-racist-dog-walker-trump-a9533581.html

In response to the video, many on social media began to speculate and insist that Amy Cooper was a Trump supporter and a member of the “MAGA” movement.

However, campaign contribution information — with donations to Democrats such as Barack Obama, Pete Buttigieg, and John Kerry — leaked online earlier today appeared to suggest that Amy actually identifies as a liberal. This matters, because in this political era, during this most critical US presidential election, it is necessary that we understand and recognize that white violence transcends party lines and political ideology.

My personal viewpoint, yeah, she was a "Karen", large and in charge, then got body slammed. But I think the way she is being destroyed is a bit over the top. Losing her job? That shows the power of the powerful social machine.

Two years ago, no way she would have lost her job over this incident. Her company reacted to the pressure and quickly acted out of fear from the publicity.

People make mistakes. If Christian follows the faith of his name-sake, maybe he'll reach out, accept her apology, and say enough. Who knows if we are in a place where that can still happen. Otherwise, her other option is to change her name and move to a different state and try to start over - much like a sex offender would do.

Isn’t it amazing how you can destroy your entire life with 30-60 seconds of stupidity these days? Literally, this woman has gone from being in the top 5% of income and prestige employment to probably ending up eating cat food in a trailer park in her sunset years.

Additionally, its frightening to think that people who go through life this freakin’ stupid could potentially have a hand in managing ones investment accounts...

"Believe All Women" right?

Proof that women are perfectly capable of lying through their teeth at the drop of a hat, to the point of destroying a man's life beyond the point of repair forever, merely over a momentary inconvenience.

Without a shred of conscience.

Oh yeah, she's a University of Chicago and Harvard grad.
