She's now suing the company who fired her over the racist incident for discrimination lmao. What a fucking ****, I hope she ends up strapped with a mountain of legal debt.

Amy Cooper, a white New York woman who called police on a Black bird-watcher in Central Park last Memorial Day, is suing the company that swiftly fired her over the controversial incident.

"We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton," the investment firm said the day after the incident. It said it had completed an internal review and decided to terminate her, effective immediately.

Amy Cooper filed a federal lawsuit this week against Franklin Templeton, saying the company never investigated the incident that led to her firing the confrontation between her and Christian Cooper. Her lawsuit claims that her employer discriminated against her because of her race and gender.

Much of the encounter was captured on video by Christian Cooper, who is not related to Amy Cooper, after he said he asked her to put a leash on her dog to comply with the rules in that area of the park.

The video, which went viral, shows Amy Cooper calling the police. "I'm in The Ramble, and there's a man, African American, he's got a bicycle helmet. He's recording me and threatening me and my dog," she told the emergency dispatcher.

The bird-watcher does not appear to come closer to her and remains calm as Amy Cooper grows agitated and starts to scream. "I'm sorry. I can't hear. Are you there? I'm being threatened by a man in The Ramble. Please send the cops immediately!" He was not threatening her in the video.

Amy Cooper's lawsuit states that she did not call the police because she was racist, but "because she was alone in the park and frightened to death after being selected as the next target of Christian Cooper, an overzealous birdwatcher engaged in Central Park's ongoing feud between birdwatchers and dog owners."

She is seeking "back pay and bonus, loss of unvested funds and other benefits, front pay or reinstatements, emotional distress damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and interest and punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial."
Franklin Templeton maintains that the company did the right thing in firing Cooper.

Not that it excuses her behavior, but if he had been walking a similar sized dog and she came up and asked him to put it on a leash you know we'd still be calling her a Karen and laughing at her

Discriminated against her because of her race and gender. I guess she would know what discrimination based on race looks like.

What sucks is that Christian Cooper chose not to file charges against her, since he had hoped that she learned her mistake from the viral blowout. But nope, she didn't learn shit.


My view on this. Fuck this lady

True, but he probably wouldn't have called the police and said "A Caucasian female is threatening me and my dog!"

Yes, I remember jumping to the same conclusions as all of you. Then I realized I would also be pissed off if someone was filming me without my permission (and you would to). And the I realized we have absolutely no idea what, if anything happened before he hit the record button. How long was he following her? Was she being stalked? We have no clue.

In all likelihood she probably is just a racist old hag, but it's not weird to investigate the entire scenario and to not terminate someone from their job over a 30-second video clip.

Such a sad state of affairs, but looks like karma is coming when she inevitability loses and is strapped with debt.
