(CNN)When Amy Cooper called police for a second time, she claimed that a Black man birdwatching tried to assault her. But it was a lie, prosecutors say.
A viral video captured the moments after Christian Cooper (no relation) asked her to leash her dog in Central Park. The incident in May was a flashpoint in ongoing national conversation about White people increasingly calling the police on Black people who are going about their everyday lives. It also took place on the same day Minneapolis police officers killed George Floyd.
Now, Cooper's subsequent call to police -- made public Wednesday during a virtual hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court -- echoes the pattern of lies that White women have told about Black men since the Jim Crow era. And the consequences have often been deadly or led to wrongful convictions.
Cooper, who faces a misdemeanor charge for falsely reporting an incident, told the responding officers that Christian Cooper had not tried to assault her, the district attorney said.

A white mother of two in South Carolina has been accused of lying to police about being attacked by a black man in a Walmart parking lot, where authorities say she never was.
Kristen Michelle Rimes, 26, filed a police report on November 26 with the City of Columbia Police Department claiming she was attacked while sitting in her car outside of the superstore by an unidentified suspect.
'He was a black male, medium build, wearing a hoodie with a jacket over it,' Rimes elaborated on the alleged attacker to Cola Daily in an interview published on November 27.

***(THEY DIDN’T EVEN DISCLOSE HER NAME HERE.... WOW)
QUINCY — A 49-year-old white woman who initially told police a black man attacked and robbed her in Russell Park last week has now admitted she lied to detectives, according to police.
The woman, a Quincy resident, will be summonsed to Quincy District Court for allegedly filing a false police report, Quincy police announced Monday. They’re not releasing her name at this time.
As part of the investigation, detectives reviewed surveillance video in the area of the crime scene. When a detective re-interviewed the woman, she confessed she had a made a false police report, according to Monday’s press release.
Officers at about 11:12 a.m. on March 25 responded to the park for a report that a woman had been assaulted. She was bleeding when police arrived.
The woman told police that she had been walking the dirt path behind the tennis courts when someone approached her from behind, throwing her to the ground and stealing money from her purse.
The suspect then ran away, leaving her purse behind, she told police. A police K-9 located the woman’s sneakers and jacket in the wooded area where the suspect had allegedly ran.
The woman described the suspect as a black man in his early 20’s, bald, clean-shaven, wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and black shoes.
The woman’s court date has not been scheduled.
What’s different in these few of many hate crime cases: Nobody who lied was black and no political (or at least overtly political) connections were made. However by their acts alone these were all probably Republicans.
