   The bill will work both ways you ignorant Democrat bastard.   
      
   ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants state lawmakers to pass a bill   
   next week making it a hate crime when 911 callers make a false   
   accusation based on race, gender or religion.   
      
   The legislation, first introduced in 2018 and carried by   
   Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D-Brooklyn), was rejuvenated last month   
   by a now-viral incident in Central Park showing Amy Cooper, a   
   white woman, calling the cops on a black man after a harmless   
   dispute over her dog.   
      
   “We’ve seen 911 calls which are race-based, false calls. A false   
   911 call based on race should be classified as a hate crime in   
   the state of New York,” Cuomo said during his now-daily briefing   
   in Albany Friday.   
      
   He’s added it to a list of law enforcement reform policies he’s   
   supporting when the Legislature returns to session in Albany   
   Monday.   
      
   Ortiz told The Post violators could face between one to five   
   years in prison, in accordance with the state’s hate crime   
   statute “if the motivation for reporting such crime is motivated   
   by a perception or belief about their race, color, national   
   origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age,   
   disability or sexual orientation.”   
      
   Oh, when Karens take a walk with their dogs off leash in the   
   famous Bramble in NY’s Central Park, where it is clearly posted   
   on signs that dogs MUST be leashed at all times, and someone   
   like my brother (an avid birder) politely asks her to put her   
   dog on the leash. pic.twitter.com/3YnzuATsDm

   “The bottom line is: we should be using better judgement. Racism   
   gets created, and I think that by making false reporting because   
   of gender or region is completely unacceptable and intolerable,”   
   he said.   
      
   Cuomo backed several additional measures in his legislative   
   agenda, including:   
      
   Reforming the controversial 50-a section of the civil rights law   
   allowing for transparency of prior disciplinary records of law   
   enforcement officers   
   Banning chokehold usage by law enforcement   
   Naming the Attorney General independent prosecutor for cases   
   concerning deaths of unarmed civilians caused by law enforcement   
      
   Lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly met via video and   
   phone conference Friday evening, with sources telling The Post   
   negotiations might need to extend into the weekend.   
      
   One Democratic Assemblymember said negotiations over 50-a have   
   been particularly strained, and has “heated up” discussions   
   between downstate and upstate pols.   
      
   “We have the votes,” the member added.
