Amy Cooper Put Out A Hit
There’s little doubt that Amy Cooper attempted to weaponize her whiteness and Christian Cooper’s blackness against him, and as some city officials call for action I realized that perhaps one way to frame this to make people understand is that in effect she was putting out a hit. Any prosecutor who cares about the moral crime of weaponizing race would at the very least charge her with criminal solicitation and a bias crime.

- I’d imagine that the reason First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker says the police “have bigger fish to fry” and “the DA would never prosecute that” is because doing so would be tacit admission that the police have a racial violence problem.
