Prosecuting Amy Cooper is an easy way out. It allows us to tell ourselves that the problem is the Amy Coopers of the world. In reality, the problem is the system of violent policing that made her threat so dangerous & the criminal legal system that locks up millions of Black ppl.
One of the reasons why the Central Park incident was so disturbing was because Black people watching it instantly knew that if it hadn't been recorded, Christian Cooper very likely could've ended up arrested—or killed by police. Prosecuting Amy cooper does nothing to change that
The argument that prosecuting Amy Cooper may deter other white women from doing the same is appealing, but it's no different from the logic used to justify almost every other criminal penalty. And that logic has been used to lock up millions of Black people in this country.
Rejecting America's violent, racist criminal justice system requires us to reject the logic(s) that have been deployed to justify it. Locking someone up doesn't undo the harm that person has caused, and lots of evidence suggests it doesn't do much in the way of deterrence.
Why does it have to be an either/or? I don't think anyone is suggesting that we stop with prosecuting Amy Cooper and say, "all good, problem solved." She literally put someone else's life a risk on a whim. It feels like there should be a real consequence for that.
This is the stupidest take ever
