NEW YORK – A white woman at the center of a viral video where she is seen calling the police on a black man inside Central Park over the weekend was fired by the investment company that employed her.
Franklin Templeton had put her on administrative leave while a fast-moving internal review of the incident took place.
“We do not tolerate racism of any kind,” said Franklin Templeton via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon
Amy Cooper was seen on the video Monday walking her dog along a wooded area of the park known as The Ramble. A man, Christian Cooper, who is not related to Amy Cooper, could be heard asking the woman to put the dog on a leash.
