“At a time when the devastating impacts of racism in Black communities have been made so painfully clear — from racial disparities in COVID-19 outcomes to harassment of essential workers on the frontlines — it is appalling to see these types of ugly threats directed at one New Yorker by another,” said Sapna Raj, deputy commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau at the Commission on Human Rights.
The Commission has the authority to order Amy Cooper to undergo training on the NYC Human Rights Law.

“Efforts to intimidate Black people by threatening to call law enforcement draws on a long, violent and painful history, and they are unacceptable,” Raj added in the statement, “We encourage Ms. Cooper to cooperate with the Commission and meaningfully engage in a process to address the harm that she has caused.”
According to their website, The New York City Commission on Human Rights is charged with the enforcement of the Human Rights Law in NYC.
