Daniele Watts, black ‘Django Unchained’ actress, mistaken for prostitute, handcuffed and detained by police after kissing white husband

The actress was humiliated for simply showing public affection to her husband after cops mistook her for a prostitute and she refused to show ID. ‘I remembered the countless times my father came home frustrated ... by cops when he had done nothing wrong,’ Watts wrote on Facebook.

I wonder if I was because she is black, or that she was 'dressed' up?.....

Awful thing to happen. Terrible assumption.

Surely her choice of clothing has nothing to do with it?

Photo at the link, I've never seen a prostitute dress so conservatively!

Does she look like one to anyone else?

Sorry to point out the obvious but her 'story' on facebook doesn't even match the article.

Perhaps the government should release a list of approved clothing so that we can go about our business without being handcuffed by the police?

if you ever watch Cops the tv show you won't be surprised, some of them make Chief Wiggum look like Einstein

 

[mike_field]

We talking about the public right? :14:

Where was she kissing him?

It's an interesting thought because according to her own words she was approached whilst on the phone to her dad? :33:

Parts of the US are so backwards for a so called "advanced" country.

The US is what we will will end up like and am slowly but surely, our NHS is being privatised cops will end up with guns one day, our cops eat donuts all day, just need Nick Clegg to shoot a bloke on his property and Cameron to get a blow job off Tereasa May then we am sorted imo

Obvious to those who use FB, I hardly get time to come on this site, the desire to cross reference news reports with social media sites is something that has passed me by :17:

 

[mike_field]

PMSL Juan I'm all about the ethics when it comes to reporting and when there aren't any I pipe up!

I also don't use facebook, I'm just very bitchy on bullshit journalists lol

Ill or not I have standards God Damn It!

And some bit part actress playing the race card, when the fact is in America I believe you cannot refuse to ID yourself, but then claims she was arrested for being a prostitute and kissing her husband, whilst on the phone to her dad with ther hubby nowhere to be seen - deserved to be called out as an actress.

Especially when I was ready to type something different until I checked it lol Because I agree this goes on - but to take advantage of that....sympathy should not be the response in this case.

 

[mike_field]

Sympathy and outrage should be saved for those who genuine get this treatment and not somebody watching her google page rank. :14:
