Woman who called cops on Black man birdwatching in Central Park faces charges - CNN

Amy Cooper, the woman who was filmed accusing a Black man of threatening her, faces a charge of falsely reporting an incident in the third degree, according to the DA.

"At this time I would like to encourage anyone who has been the target of false reporting to contact our Office.

We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable," DA Cyrus Vance said in a statement.

Cooper was walking her dog in the park in May when she encountered Christian Cooper (no relation) in a wooded area known as the Ramble.
