Terry Tannehill:

The NY Post is a news outlet that is on the right. There were indeed some papers on the right who covered it better such as that one; I had read some of the fuller story somewhere on the right very shortly after it happened. But the totality of the story didn’t emerge until later, and the majority of the MSM didn’t ever reveal it. What’s more – and again, I’m doing this from memory – a lot of blogs on the right came down hard initially on Amy Cooper. The video convinced them.

The thing that stands out to me about this whole sad story is the expectation by so many that calling the police on C Cooper was tantamount to “risking his life,” as if ALL interactions by police with black persons would result in murder.

Do these folks even remember the Chris Rock “How Not to Get Your A** Kicked by the Police” instructional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8)? Humorous yes, but absolutely true. Do what the police say, and you will be okay MOST of the time.

I think it was aln over reaction to Amy Cooper and had the races been reversed and she was black and Christian Cooper was white we would never have heard of this incident. I’m sorry to see her life ruined and she probably will never get another job again or at least for a long time. If I was her I would sue my former employer.

I first read this story at the New York Post. It included the threat/quote:
“look, if you’re going to do what you want, I’m going to do what I want, but you’re not going to like it” & the part about the dog treats for he carried for “such intransigence”. It seems Wapo & NYT left that out.

When A. Cooper threatened to call the police, C. Cooper said, “Please, call the police!” In the podcast, the question is never asked: was C. Cooper bluffing or was he conscious that this situation was no threat to *him*? All the evidence indicates the latter to have been the case. It seems to follow that the whole controversy on the left has been artificial and hypocritical.

Not surprising, considering the drooling, vindictive gratification with which Ashli Babbit’s killing is justified. And this by nice church ladies who don’t think murder should carry the death penalty.
To think of this crowd as having any consistency except in cluelessness and anger is a waste of time.

Moral of the story: Mainstream media is filth. And the people who read/watch CNN, AP, NYTimes, WaPo are complicit.

There are 3 antagonists in the story. The 2 obvious ones, and the much larger malignant hate-filled one, the American “mainstream” Media.

I’ve learned to have an open mind about these “civilian” videos. The camera is often turned on after some precipitating event such that vital context is missing. Context that very often casts a much different light on the situation.

This is the first I’ve heard of Mr Cooper’s FB post admitting making a threat. And I’m not surprised to find missing context. Once again I’m disheartened that so called “journalists” have failed at their jobs.

If only Cooper were a Communist and had the kind of true friendship found in Hollywood. She could work under a transparent pseudonym, be given awards, then made into a heroine.
