White woman fired despite apologizing for calling police on black man asking her to leash dog

A white woman who called the police after a black man asked her to put her dog on a leash in Central Park, New York, has been fired following her apology for the incident.

Amy Cooper, the woman involved in the brouhaha, apologized on Tuesday after she brought her dog to the wooded area of Central Park called the Ramble, an avid spot for bird watchers, on Monday and took her dog off the leash in violation of posted park rules, leading to Christian Cooper, who has no relation to her, confronting her.
