'Birdwatcher' Will Not Participate in Prosecution of the Woman Who Called 911 on Him

Because his statement isn't on tape and most people have only watched the tape or skimmed the headline. They don't read the article for the nuance. They watch the tape or the read the headline to build up a rage boner.

 

What kind of message is the DA sending by prosecuting someone for calling the cops when they felt threatened at the time? This is almost guaranteeing that someone’s going to “handle it themselves” when there’s an altercation with a black person before they can start recording.

 

or they could try not to be a racist moron and everyone is happy.

 

Ha ha. Whites got away with slavery. That was the robbing of billions of dollars of economic output and the raping of people. I mean, even IF your point was totally valid, you would be hard pressed to argue that white people are victims in the US. They are not. And neither are you.

It sounds to me like this whole thing was a dispute over an unleashed dog. Both people should have handled it like adults. Neither fully did, and though calling 911 and leveraging race is shameful, I could care less if she's prosecuted or not. She's been humiliated plenty and that will cost her. And the man wasn't harmed so prosecute her or not I say.

 

Good for Mr. Cooper!

The point has been made, and there is no more sense in one more criminal prosecution.

 

he tried, but maybe he should have just called the cops - the reality is she was breaking the rules

it's like the guy that hassled the person parking in a 911 space that went bad... sometimes letting cops handle it is best (or just ignoring it and move on with ones life)

 

This woman calmly and rather aggressively told him, I'm going to tell them there's an African-American man threatening my life. She then got melodramatic and looks like she intentionally sounded panicked when she called the authorities. It looked quite orchestrated and fake and by the time she called the police she already knew that you're not going to like what I'm going to do next was followed by nothing but pulling out a telephone and standing there to film her. And this gentlemen did not say that he threatened her. You're not going to like what I'm going to do next followed by pulling out a phone is not a physical threat. The woman even walked towards him and pointed her finger at him when she revealed her plan to tell the cops that he was threatening her. At that point she was threatening him and did not seem to be afraid for her life at all.

 

He's being exceptionally nice.

 

Uh you realize he has admitted to his statement which takes place just before he starts filming right?

"If you're going to do what you want then I'm going to do what I want. And you're not going to like it. Come here doggy"
^ Not enough to get him charged, probably enough for her to justify the call without charges on her part either.

 

Blacks "got away" with it to along with most races throughout history and even to this day and this has nothing to do with past slavery, do try to focus.

Which is why Vance should stop trying to grandstand with it and drop it.

 

Amy is the one who has admitted that her behavior was inappropriate. Mr. Cooper had to tell the woman "Please don't come close to me." twice as she was approaching HIM. He said that before she said she was going to call the cops, to which he replied Please call the cops. The woman was trying to intimidate him and then acted very panicked when she called the police. He never threatened her life and she was never in danger. She did threaten him and potentially endanger him. In fact, it looks like he had been recording for a while so she knew what you won't like what comes next meant and she called the police because he wouldn't stop recording her with the dog off the leash, not because he was threatening. She might get off, but don't act that was not a fake looking call.

 

Yes, I think they know that. They're just gaslighting, IMO, either for fun or for profit.

 

Two Democratic voters and they were both jackasses. Who would have thunk it?

 

There are no plaintiffs in a criminal action so of course he is not a plaintiff until he files a civil lawsuit. He is, however, a victim insofar as she files a criminal complaint knowingly and falsely accusing him of criminal conduct that requires investigation. It is akin to using the police department to do your harassing for you. You are right of course that the city and its citizens are also a victim whenever someone makes a 911 call for emergency services that are not needed. As for your stipulated plea and fine, I don't much care either way. Can't fault it 'on principle', but its not really necessary here. The publicity is doing the state's punishing for it. As I said, she has been cyber bullied and fired and labeled by this and this will be haunting her for a very very long time.

 

Good for him.

 

The history of America.

Another bogus claim.

Everyone else in America sees how wrong this woman was, but not you. You try to find a way to make the black man guilty of the incident.

 

And right after that she says she assumed wrong because all he was going to do was film her. So, no threat by her own admission. Oh, and you weren't one of the ones I was wondering about.

False I have said she over reacted. Get your facts straight and stop making phony claims for lack of facts. Have you admitted he was wrong to confront her and wrong to threaten her, as you do when it is a white against a black?

 

Yep and has he admitted he was wrong to threaten her? Yes she felt threaten at the time as most woman I know if she were in a secluded wooded area with no one else around a man was getting in her face saying you're not gonna like what I do next. As I noted if the races were reversed then the resident leftist would be attacking him for playing vigilante cop and threatening a black woman.

 

You can twist what happened any way you want - and I know you will - but she has made it clear there was no threat. She overreacted to someone challenging her wrongdoing. I get that the thing that you can't accept here is that the black guy who did nothing wrong is acting graciously toward the woman who was in the wrong. So, you just go on & on like the energizer bunny throwing up red herrings & strawmen like you get paid for it.

You could just admit that he is the good guy here....well you could in theory, but no one who has read yuor posts really expects that.

 

After the fact she realized there was no threat. At the time of the incident, she maintains that she absolutely believed there was.

The prosecution will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she's lying about that, in spite of the man's account of what happened supporting her defense.

 

1. He doesn't have to if she pleads guilty.
2. Police already have his statement in reports.
3. If it goes to trial he would be compelled by summons and would have to tell the truth.

Call them like I see them and that is your MO.

He probably should have never approached her about her dog, but he didn't threaten her other than maybe to call the police.

 

She was a wrong woman, likely scared and terrified. Congrats.

 

It does appear that Cooper has chosen to be a hostile witness if he is compelled which is within his rights. A hostile witness can easily sway a jury the way they want it to go.
