Video reignites conversation on false 911 calls

The New York City Commission on Human Rights has announced a probe into Amy Cooper, the woman at the center of the controversial Central Park video. Cooper drew national scrutiny for calling the police and claiming a black man was threatening her life, when video of the incident did not show him doing so. No one was arrested in connection to the altercation. New York City public defender Eliza Orlins joined CBSN to discuss the impact of the video.
