last thought on this amy cooper business--
there are so many gymnastic feats of cognitive dissonance ppl master...
to not see the bigotry within them.

the woman called 911 (implicitly ACKNOWLEDGING 1. that she was weaponizing a law enforcement agency, and 2. that her method
would likely instill FEAR in the man videoing, or in the alternative, culminate in PUNISHMENT for the videoing should it continue). she therefore ALREADY CONCEDED that black men face a higher threat of harm at the hands of cops, and USED her awareness of these
VERY REAL CIRCUMSTANCES......to exploit. she LIED and put this man in legitimate danger that she HERSELF RECOGNIZED.....

b/c he DARED to ask her.......to abide by a municipal code broadly displayed throughout a park.
and allllllllllllllllllll while...........
taking TREMENDOUS care......
to refer to him as..............

"african-american."
