The video is pretty over-the-top. She visibly ups her level of represented fear and distress when on the phone with dispatch. Clearly an attempt to get the police to come by and really put the man in his place...
The video leading up to her call with the police shows her acting quite aggressively towards the man.
"I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening my life," she says.
"Please tell them whatever you like," Christian Cooper says.
The video shows Amy Cooper on her phone.
"There's a man, African American, he has a bicycle helmet," she says. "He is recording me and threatening me and my dog."
While she's on the phone, her dog appears to be straining and trying to get free while she tries to restrain it.
"I'm being threatened by a man in the Ramble," she continues in an audibly distraught voice . "Please send the cops immediately!"
