On the video Christian Cooper recorded of Amy Cooper, he sounded calm and appeared to keep a safe distance from her. Amy Cooper also warned him she would summon police unless he stopped recording. "Please call the cops," said Christian Cooper, who is not related to Amy Cooper. Police said that by the time officers responded, Amy and Christian Cooper were both gone. After the backlash, Amy Cooper released an apology through a public relations service, saying she "reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about his intentions."
