A Canadian white woman who called police and falsely accused an African-American man of threatening her life after he asked her to leash her dog in New York’s Central Park is being criminally charged over the incident, Manhattan’s district attorney said on Monday.
Amy Cooper, 41, whose actions on May 25 were recorded on a video that went viral and touched off discussions about “white privilege,” is being charged with filing a false report, a Class A misdemeanour punishable by up to one year in jail.
A video has gone viral of a woman who was allegedly refused treatment at a Toronto hospital for a suspected broken finger because she wouldn’t wear a mask.
