The New York City Commission on Human Rights has announced that it is launching an investigation into the case of the white dog-walker who called the cops on a black man in Central Park.
“At a time when the devastating impacts of racism in Black communities have been made so painfully clear—from racial disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, to harassment of essential workers on the frontlines—it is appalling to see these types of ugly threats directed at one New Yorker by another,” said Sapna Raj, deputy commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau at the Commission on Human Rights.
“Efforts to intimidate Black people by threatening to call law enforcement draw on a long, violent and painful history, and they are unacceptable. We encourage Ms. Cooper to cooperate with the Commission and meaningfully engage in a process to address the harm that she has caused,” Raj added in a statement.
The commission said it learned of the incident from the video recorded by Christian Cooper, a black bird-watcher, who asked the white woman, Amy Cooper, to put a leash on her dog in the Central Park Ramble, in accordance with regulations.
Amy began approaching the man and snapped, “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life.”

Using a general epithet like "Karen" to imply that all white women are busybodies is racist.
The woman was a moron and a fraud. She brought this on herself.
I do not feel sorry for her, and I don’t have any problem with what the man did from anything that I saw.
She was the problem, clearly she’s totally nuts.
The media loves race wars during an election year to pit Blacks against the GOP. It’s typical hypocrisy.
The women is also an uber liberal.
Arguably the black guy was the “Karen” in this scenario.
This woman was just screaming bat-guano crazy.
And the idea that a governmental Human Rights Commission is getting involved in this is what is really frightening about it all.
Bet someone offers to pay her big money if she’ll present herself as a huge Trump supporter and wear a MAGA hat anytime she’s on camera.
She’s a racist, leftist piece of trash, but any reasonable person would think the issue essentially over once she’d been almost universally shamed and then fired. Unfortunately, the Left is not reasonable and will use this to encourage as much anger and division as it can.
But then there's the concept of "hate crimes",a concept that I *totally* reject.I don't give a rat's hindquarters if a white guy murders a black guy because the victim was black or because the killer was just having a bad day.It's the severity of the crime...not the race of the victim or the perp...that matters.
On the Totem Pole of Leftist Intersectional Victimhood, blacks are higher up than white women. Now if she, too, had been black, or if she were Muslim or transexual, there would be no story.
Over time, the Left eats its own.
IIRC filing a false police report. = IIRC filing a false police report is a crime.

Human Rights Commissions are extra legal (outside of normal courts) tribunals with a political agenda at taxpayer expense.
This story is When Chad Met Karen. Chad was baiting her dog with Scooby Snacks and harassing those who violated leash laws.
The women is also an uber liberal.
Got links?
Wasn’t there a black man who set fire to a Jewish building (cultural center or temple) around 2018 who worked on the NY Human Rights Commission?
FNY
SWATters don’t usually serve time.
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.
Thanks.
