If you haven’t been living under a rock, one of the biggest stories in New York today is that of Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper (who ironically have no relation to each other.). Mr. Cooper, per reports, apparently discovered during his usual trip through Central Park Miss Cooper walking about with what appeared to be an unleashed dog.

Now not taking sides here but let’s break it down so people can understand what the problem is and the real reason people are upset with Amy Cooper.

First and foremost, per the park ‘s own website:

Dogs must be leashed at all times in the following locations:

  • Arthur Ross Pinetum
  • The Bridle Path
  • Cedar Hill
  • Children’s Glade (Great Hill area)
  • Conservatory Garden
  • East Green
  • East Meadow Oval
  • Kerbs Boathouse Plaza
  • North Woods and the Ravine
  • The Ramble
  • Shakespeare Garden
  • Strawberry Fields
  • Turtle Pond Lawn
  • Other areas where signs requiring dogs to be leashed are posted

Central Park is a very large place and there are in fact certain places where dogs are required to be on leashes at all times. It is not entirely uncommon for people to literally approach you and ask you to do so if they see your dog not on a leash. These particular places typically hold some sort of significance, or are areas where allot of work has been done.

This is perhaps where Amy Cooper should’ve politely did so (and honestly, most people usually will politely leash their dog. I’ve strolled through a few times and witnessed it myself before. It almost never turns into a larger issue.)

The issue with Amy Cooper is not that she was asked to leash her dog in an otherwise leash-required area, er, it was in fact that she called the police and clearly stated “There is an African American male” threatening me and my dog.

This did not become an issue of any particular persons’ race until Amy Cooper mentioned such to the police as if Mr. Cooper was some big; black scary thug who otherwise had a “weapon” and clearly meant to hurt someone. None of which is true or the case.

Yes, Christian did particularly use a sentence that to an average person likely would have been construed as a threat. However, truthfully, it doesn’t appear that Christian meant any harm. So by a technical default, he also is in the wrong here for using that particular sentence “You can do what you want to do, but if I’m going to do what I want to do and you’re not going to like it.”

Mr. Cooper if we’re being truthful here probably could’ve worded that different knowing almost everybody in New York City is on edge due to the Coronavirus. But that is no excuse for Miss Cooper ‘s line to the police that otherwise weaponized Cooper ‘s race against him knowing all too well had the wrong cop showed up — it would’ve ended probably very differently.

I’ve seen so many people online talking about stop the “Ifs.” Unfortunately for the common Black man, that particular scenario usually isn’t an “IF” but rather Is the wrong kind of cop going to show up?

Because like with most things and something that I’m sure we’ve all learned there are good cops and there are bad cops. It would be wrong to say all cops are bad, just as it is to say all people are bad.

Cooper fucked up by intentionally mentioning his race knowing as an obvious sounding white woman, er, that the police. would likely respond rather quick to her “distress” call. And they did — no charges or a report was filed according to the NYPD.

Long story short. This could’ve all been avoided if Cooper A) Didn’t damn near choke her dog. B) Didn’t attempt to ignite the race card herself and C) quite literally complied with the rules posted everywhere, and are actually known by most New Yorkers. Anyone with a dog in this city knows where dogs are and aren’t allowed and where leashes are required.

Normally I don’t support people’s lives being uprooted but for Cooper I’m going to have to go with she partially got what she deserved. None of this would’ve merited what social media obviously dubbed a deeper look into her life, erm, had she never actually mentioned his race/said such to the police.
