Taraji P. Henson Apologizes to Cop for Racial Profiling
Quote:
The Empire star made headlines the other week for slamming officers for ticketing Marcel during a routine stop in Glendale, Calif. Earlier today, police video of the stop made its way onto the internet and the footage seemed to prove there was no evidence of racial profiling involved with the traffic stop.
"I would like to apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Department," Henson wrote on Instagram Friday. "A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's. Sometimes as humans we over react without gathering all the facts. As a mother in this case I over reacted and for that I apologize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son."
As for the video that surfaced today, the footage showed that the police officer actually lett Marcel off easy and gave him a ticket for possessing marijuana instead of driving through a crosswalk with blinking lights (a moving violation).
"So I'm going to give you a citation for the marijuana. Listen, I'm not going to give you a citation for running that yellow because that will actually put a moving violation on your license and you're going to have to do traffic school and all that stuff. So I'm helping you out by not giving you a violation on that. All I'm going to do is take the weed from you. You can go to court and show your prescription and stuff and you can handle it that way," the cop explained. "It felt like this was a little better than the other one. I am giving this to you too because you smoked weed about two hours ago."
Taraji P Hensons believed what her son told her, is that a a crime? After he was proved wrong she politely apologized and admitted she was wrong and did not have the correct facts.
Not her fault for believing her son. Good on her to apologize though, her bum ass son is to blame. Like does he have no shame for making these officers look bad? They went easy on him and he continued the lie while his mom publicly accused the cops and that school of being racist, giving them a bad name. Embarassing, she should go Cookie on his ass!!
Her son is a damn mess if he didn't tell her the whole story.
And we have to do better as people. We can't be screaming racism at every ****ing thing coming our way. It is getting a tad bit out of hand at this point. Collect you facts and investigate people.

What is "disgusting"?
Exactly! I don't blame her for anything because it's exactly how a mother would react. Kudos for her apologizing too.

People also have to stop being racist all the f*cking time too, but focus on that "race card"
