#Manhattan DA charges Amy Cooper over viral Central Park 911 call

The Manhattan DA announced Monday his office is prosecuting Amy Cooper for calling the cops on a black man in Central Park and falsely claiming he had threatened her after he’d asked her to leash her dog.

“Today our Office initiated a prosecution of Amy Cooper for Falsely Reporting an Incident in the Third Degree,” said DA Cy Vance Jr. in a statement. “We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable.”

In a now-viral video, Cooper is shown dialing 911 and stating: “There is an African American man. I am in Central Park. He is recording me and threatening myself and my dog.”
