The Lion, The Witch, and the Audacity of This Bitch
In a Newsweek essay, Amy Cooper says her actions were driven by “panic and vulnerability” and blames the Black man she accosted for the incident.
All she had to do was apologize, say it was a misunderstanding, and walk she and her poor dog away. She could have just stood still and asked politely to be left alone. She could have given a good ol’ New York “PISS AWWFFF”.
She had a lot of options.
I understand maybe being a little startled in the moment, but she absolutely owns the reaction. Any reasonable person should have realized once the phone was pulled out to film the interaction that maybe it was time to chill.
