'Double standard' not plausible: Judge tosses out 'Central Park Karen' wrongful termination suit
The white woman unaffectionately dubbed "Central Park Karen" on social media for her attempt to weaponize police against a Black birdwatcher had little success in her legal efforts to sue her former employer for firing her after the encounter. U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams sided with the investment firm Franklin Templeton, rejecting Amy Cooper's claim against the company on Wednesday, CBS News reported.
Cooper had accused the company of treating her more harshly than three male employees accused of misconduct, one of which involved domestic violence allegations. Abrams, however, decided that the cases were not enough alike to demonstrate bias and Cooper herself characterized her incident "as a racial flashpoint" in international news.
