Oh joy, Amy Cooper isn’t going to jail. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office yes, the same DA who has a reputation for selective law enforcement (hint: poor people of color don’t fare so well) dropped the charges against Cooper. Cooper vaulted to infamy last spring when a video of her threatening to call the cops on a Central Park bird watcher, Christian Cooper no relation went viral. Vance announced in October that charges were being filed against Amy Cooper for filing a false police report, though Christian Cooper said at the time he wouldn’t cooperate with the prosecution, saying the public humiliation and losing her job as part of the hubbub was punishment enough.
Amy Cooper, the white woman arrested last year for calling 911 on a Black birdwatcher in New York’ s Central Park, had her criminal case thrown out Tuesday after completing a diversionary counseling program that prosecutors said was meant to educate her on the harm of her actions. There is no relation between Christian Cooper and Amy Cooper.
