Empire actress vows to send him out of cracker California …
In an interview with Uptown magazine, the “Empire” star said she was planning to enroll her 20-year-old son, Marcel Henson, into USC before he was stopped by police. But now, Henson said her son will be going to Howard University, her alma mater.
Henson told the magazine she’s “not paying $50K so I can’t sleep at night wondering, ‘Is this the night my son is getting racially profiled on campus?’”
Cue USC going into full panic mode …
John Thomas, chief of USC Department of Public Safety, said that while it’s not clear which police agencies were involved, allegations of bias or unequal treatment by campus police would trigger an investigation.
“I was deeply disturbed to read news reports about a prospective student who felt profiled on or near campus because of his race,” he said in a statement. […]
The Academy Award- and Emmy-nominated actress also said her son was profiled in Glendale, where he was stopped by police. She told the magazine her son followed police orders even though they allegedly searched his car illegally.
Oh … BUT WAIT …
40-minute video obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows an encounter between Glendale police and the son of “Empire” actress Taraji P. Henson during which she contends he was racially profiled.
The footage from Oct. 18 shows the officer driving in traffic about 10:10 p.m. in Glendale when the actress’ son, who is in a Honda Civic ahead of him, drives through a lighted crosswalk as a person walks across. His race was not apparent in the video as he was driving.
The officer, still behind the 20-year-old, speeds up and initiates a traffic stop.
Watch the dashcam tape to see how awful this cracker treats the poor oppressed young black boy
Then the officer asked whether he had anything illegal in his car, and the young man responded that he had marijuana in his backpack, according to the video. He told the officer he has a state-issued medical marijuana license but couldn’t find it.
“I appreciate you being honest with me about the weed. I do appreciate that because I do smell weed,” the officer said.
During the lengthy traffic stop shown on the video, Johnson was searched and then told the officer he had Ritalin, a prescription pill used to treat hyperactivity, in his car. He admitted he didn’t have a prescription and got the pill from a friend.
“You know you’re not supposed to have that, right?” the officer told him. […]
After checking his car, the officer decided not to cite him for the original infraction because it would have a lasting effect on his driving record. Instead, he cited the young man for possessing marijuana.
“I am not going to give you a citation for running that yellow because that would actually put a moving violation on your driving license, and you are going to have to go to traffic school and all that stuff, so I am helping you by not giving you a violation on it. All I am going to do is take the weed from you,” he said.
The officer told Johnson he could go to court, show proof he has a prescription and probably just pay a fine.
“It felt like this was a little better than the other one,” he said. “I am giving this to you too because you smoked weed about two hours ago… and a warning if you have Ritalin on you and you’re not supposed to, don’t do it. That’s a big violation and I wouldn’t want to do that to you.”
Wow, what mistreatment! What profiling!
I have only one question.
Why didn’t the racist, honky pig offer this young man a breath mint before leaving?
You don’t understand. White people never get stopped, cited, or arrested.
That’s common knowledge.
@cranky….and you are an idiot. I’ve been jailed while having a heart attack because I couldn’t “properly” respond to an officer’s requests.
Just being black….doesn’t mean you are entitled…as you seem to believe….otherwise you wouldn’t make such asinine comments.
Be a real man….admit you want special treatment because of your skin color….THAT is true racsim!
WC — are you lacking the sarcasm gene or something?
I expect you to apologize to crank-d. And I AM being serious.
was he accepted to USC? It isn’t easy to get in these days. If so, oh well, another open space at the school.
This demonstrates that if you don’t act like a thug, the cops don’t treat you like one. duh.
Funny how easy it is to spot the first-timers.
Oh, and cranky isn’t black. He’s orange. Although, I’ve heard orange is the new black…
Well, I have a crazy neighbor who rings my doorbell and now shouts weird things through the door when I don’t answer. Today she shouted at me, through the door, that if I don’t sign something admitting we are related that she’ll get a protection order against me. Since I live one house down and across the street, that can’t be good.
I’ve never been over to that house. Ever. I don’t even know her name. She is fixated on me being some kind of villain who is gas lighting her or something. This all started with her ringing the doorbell and asking if I had seen anything weird going on with her house and claiming someone had been in her yard. I said know and agreed to contact her if I saw anything. I never did.
Texas law pretty much considers me guilty until proven innocent due to a stalking/ violence against women bias against males. presumed to make protecting women from abusers and stalkers easier. I’m going to inform the police of what she’s doing but there’s not much else I can do.
She’s either paranoid shcitzophrenic and off meds or this is some kind of a setup for some intimidation scam.
” I said know ” -> I said no.
Is misspelling homonyms evidence of brain damage?
You don’t get much more pasty white than I am.
I guess my rap name threw WC off.

Paleo, write the whole story down and make an appointment to see a community service officer for your police department to go over the whole thing. Insist upon making a report. Each time she bothers you, make a report. Yes, it’s a pain, but if she does something goofy, you’ll have some documentation that you alerted the authorities.
>“We learned today, from her attorney, Secretary Clinton, using white privilege, unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server,” he continued. “While it is not clear precisely when Secretary Clinton decided to use white privilege to permanently delete all emails from her server, it appears she made the decision to use her white privilege after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department.”

>Perhaps the whole key to restoring sanity to the world is returning the objects of diplomacy and military action to public ends. The great thing about traditional warfare, if such a thing can be said about so reprehensible an activity, is that that was waged openly for national goals, for the benefit of those who fought it. Today it is old-fashioned. Secret armies, email servers, private intelligence networks, hybrid warfare and lawfare have taken its place.<

What Shermlaw said — plus, keep a journal and write every incident down (time/date); get a small cheap camcorder or use your cell-phone and tape every encounter, including her rants through the closed door.
Seek out getting a protective order against her first.

So Mrs. Pantsuit took a Friday afternoon undocument dump . . .
. . . and by dump, we understand she dropped trow and shat on the House Committee room floor.
New standards. Aren’t they fun? Now clean that up, peons.
If this country is stupid enough to elect her, it’ll more than deserve everything it’ll get.
That said, if it comes down to a choice between Hillary and Jeb, I wouldn’t blame the country one bit for choosing to get it the hell over with once and for all by going ahead and electing her.
America deserves everything it’ll get, Ernst, because it re-elected the fictional character known as ‘Barack Hussein Obama’.
I’m cautiously optimistic that, after 8 long years, a majority of Americans is weary of whoring after foreign gods.
Now, whether that majority is diffuse enough to win the electoral college, or large enough overcome the margin of fraud….
The public has no need to see Hillary’s yoga schedule.
I keep having a problem with that “we get the government we deserve” business. Those who voted for the Unicorn Prince, sure. But those of us who knew him for a charlatan the first time we saw him? How do we deserve him?
No one Israel voted for him and look what they have to put up with.
Have old friend and former colleague who was charmed with Obama right from Oprah start. Last night she was complaining about having to pay back her Obamacare subsidy. Hah.
The little god-king giveth, and the little god-king taketh away.
I’m cautiously optimistic that, after 8 long years, a majority of Americans is weary of whoring after foreign gods.
We had FOUR equally long years to wake up to reality but didn’t.
People mostly don’t wake up: they double down, retreating further into fantasy, inventing crazy reasons why their dream-god didn’t make with the miracles, finding even more ways to do the same thing over and over because third, fourth, fifth, nth time is the charm.
And finally, when they see that their ideas didn’t work, they will shake their heads and think that the next person they elect to do the same unworkable shit will somehow make it work.
Obama just didn’t do it right.
The fact the Designated Opponent in 2012 was in no way qualified to speak convincingly against the single worst thing about those four years, having no bearing whatsoever on the outcome…
Police cams doing their job.
I am not going to give you a citation for running that yellow
In what jurisdiction does a citation for “running a yellow” even exist?
When I took Drivers’ Ed, we were taught that the purpose of a yellow light was to “clear the intersection”, to warn drivers approaching an intersection that it was soon to turn red, and that they should stop before it does so, or if too close to do so safely (including getting rear-ended if the following car doesn’t slam on his brakes too) proceed through the intersection.
However, pedestrians in a marked pedestrian crossing have the right of way, regardless of the color of lights. Drivers are to yield to them. It’s unclear from the description whether the pedestrian was close enough to Henson that he was considered guilty of “failure to yield” or whether the pedestrian was at the opposite end of the crosswalk, and no interference in fact existed.
I kind of wonder if the cop is guilty of making up an infraction here. Like when they tell people to stop recording them on video cameras, which is perfectly legal in most cases, but they don’t like it so they make up a law on the spot.
It was in California, if I’m not mistaken, so there might actually be a “running the yellow” infraction. Just as I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a “driving on the sidewalk to get out of a fire truck’s path” infraction.
Or, you know, “committing self-defense without lawful authorization.”
