The Manhattan district attorney charged Amy Cooper this week for allegedly filing a false police report after a video of her from May went viral online that allegedly showed her calling the police on a man, Christian Cooper, no relation, after an interaction that the two had.
The video sparked outrage online because Amy Cooper, who is white, told Christian Cooper, who is black, that she was going to claim that an “African-American man” was threatening her, which many said was proof of racism.
