Fired After Calling 911 On A Black Bird-Watcher, Amy Cooper Sues For Discrimination
Amy Cooper filed a federal lawsuit against her former employer, saying the company never investigated the incident that led to her firing — the confrontation between her and Christian Cooper.
Her lawsuit claims that her employer discriminated against her because of her race and gender.
Amy Cooper's lawsuit states that she did not call the police because she was racist, but "because she was alone in the park and frightened to death after being selected as the next target of Christian Cooper, an overzealous birdwatcher engaged in Central Park's ongoing feud between birdwatchers and dog owners."
