"Unveiling the Hidden Life of 'Central Park Karen' Amy Cooper"
Amy Cooper, the woman who called the police on a Black birdwatcher in Central Park, has written an op-ed in which she blames the birdwatcher for the incident and justifies her behavior. Cooper claims that pandemic anxieties, childhood sexual assault, and poor phone reception contributed to her actions. She portrays herself as a victim and denies any racial implications in her actions. Cooper was fired from her job and charged with filing a false police report. She completed therapy sessions on racial bias in exchange for having the charge dropped. Cooper claims to have been living in hiding and blames the birdwatcher for her current situation.
