Black actress kissing white boyfriend handcuffed/detained

Conservatives will be happy as clams, RACIAL PROFILING goes on on 'ultra liberal' HOLLYWOOD properties too. There ARE bigots in Hollywood too! II'll point out the GLARING obvious question! Was the white boyfriend detained or handcuffed or asked for his ID?? Some irony? She was the star in the movie Djano 'unchained'...

An African-American actress and her white boyfriend have accused two Studio City policemen of detaining her after watching her make out with him, believing she was a prostitute with a client.

Danièle Watts, star of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, wrote on her Facebook page that she was handcuffed and thrown into the back of a police cruiser after failing to provide the officers with ID, according to The YBF.

In her posting, Watts wrote, “Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place. When the officer arrived, I was standing on the sidewalk by a tree. I was talking to my father on my cell phone. I knew that I had done nothing wrong, that I wasn’t harming anyone, so I walked away. A few minutes later, I was still talking to my dad when 2 different police officers accosted me and forced me into handcuffs.”

According to Watts, she refused to show officers ID — saying she had done nothing wrong — before being placed, crying, in the back of a police cruiser only to eventually be released.

Writing on his own Facebook page, her boyfriend, Chef Brian James Lucas elaborated, “Today, Daniele Watts & I were accosted by police officers after showing our affection publicly. From the questions that he asked me as D was already on her phone with her dad, I could tell that whoever called on us (including the officers), saw a tatted RAWKer white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl and thought we were a HO (prostitute) & a TRICK (client).”

Lucas also included a photo of an injury to Watts’ arm the result of being roughly cuffed by the officer.

Watts, who also appeared on Showtime’s Weeds and will be seen in The Partnership with Martin Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer on FX, said she sat in the back of the cruiser remembering when her father had been harassed due to his skin color.

You are required to identify yourself to law enforcement when they ask.

Refusal to do so will usually end up with you in cuffs.

Where exactly is the police abuse here again?

 

Oh boo-fluking-hoo. Instead of being arrogant and self-righteous, she could simply have produced her I.D. End of problem. But she chose to escalate the situation and the officers obliged her. She should perhaps consider growing up.

 

You NOR I know if these are even cops! But aside from that any INNOCENT woman who gets in a police vehicle without a fight is NUTS! And unfortunately they often have little or ZERO recourse and many are raped, assaulted, and WORSE! We had a HIGHWAY PATROLMAN 'help himself' to a traffic pullover down here. Her DEAD RAPED BODY was found in the woods.

 

So you are advocating for people to resist police and fight them when they are ordered to put their hands behind their back or to get in a cop car and in your opinion that will reduce police brutality?

I am simply astounded at the logic you liberals use.

Sure, resist arrest and I am sure the cop will just give up.

wow

 

The police did the right thing. The woman could well have been a hooker, and she did not produce ID.

 

Except that is only true with stop and identify laws. California doesn't. In fact giving your id in California gives up the right not to be searched. Police need a reasonable suspicion to ask for ID, so when she walked away and wasn't detained she was well within her rights. In fact the officers, according to the description, committed a crime.

so you are all for government demanding your papers?

 

legalize prostitution.

 

Administrative detention till we find out who you are, write a citation or run you for want's or warrants.

Seems like the process worked as it should and the rights of the two night gropers were respected and remain intact.

A little anecdotal story. Back in the early 90's my wife and I took a trip to Chicago to see her mother, owns a bar downtown. Well, being newly married and young and prone to impulse; the mood stuck so I motored the car, per sexy navigator in the right seat's direction, to the top of a parking garage near the Franklin Street bridge. Into the back seat we slithered. Well, at about the half clothed portion of the festivities a loud rap on the window shattered the mood. 4 of Chicago's finest were fogging the windows from the outside. We were removed and separated, me to the back of a police car. ID produced and questions answered. Answers confirmed by my wife; and with no assault or professional services in evidence we were free to go; with one admonishment, "Don't park on the roof of the garage, the office workers see you and call us, go a few levels down and park in the dark, enjoy Chicago!"

The cops do have a job to do.

That's untrue.

 

Why was she asked for it? Did she do anything to warrant it?

 

Unless you specifically ask if you are being detained and if you are free to go you, and he says yes, then you are legally being detained according to Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada.

Reason of suspicion is automatically granted to law enforcement unless directly challenged by the suspect at which point the officer will decide to detain or release. If you go that route however you are risking an escalation in the conflict rather than just showing your ID, explaining what is going on, and the police moving on.

 

That may be true but the officer can't just simply come up to you and ask for Id, that is my point.

 

Could just be a random check.

Many people are advocating for police walking the beats again, so to speak, and just checking on people keeps their presence in the public view and is shown to be a deterrent to crime. What these officers were doing is unknown until they tell us but it could have been anything from loitering, to a complaint to a random drug check.

Who knows.

 

Do you know what strikes me as odd? How many "johns" make out in public with their hooker?

 

If you think for a single second that ANY WOMAN in my 'gated neighborhood' (a studio lot is not a 'gated' restricted 'neighborhood'??) and is asked to do anything but give her
name and address BUT asked to get out of her CAR and put her hands behind her head, we will have a f'g lawsuit that we will all be paying for! And let me assure you
one of the REPUBLICAN husbands will find an attorney to do it, RIGHT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

CONTEXT PEOPLE, CONTEXT!

And when does KISSING SOMEONE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT on the grounds of a PLACE OF BUSINESS provoke a search and arrest??

 

Actually most of them do, well in their car anyways.

What do you think they do, take them home or blow money on a room for a 5 minute BJ?

 

To resist arrest, one must first be suspected of committing a crime and be in the process of being arrested. Failing to produce ID when requested would be called "obstruction".

Yes, this situation may have been prevented by her simply showing ID and cooperating and maybe not.

I am a deputy sheriff in a large and very criminally active county. I am often very disturbed by the actions of most of my co workers. Too many law enforcement people today don't understand what "policing" really is. Too many think policing means arresting.

Too many of our police officers today are too young and too immature to handle responsibility. They want to exert their authority. They want to show people that their **** is bigger than yours. Many are impressed with themselves.

I have co workers who make ten times the arrests I make and have 90% of those arrests lead to no charges filed. Every arrest I make leads to charges being sustained in a court of law.

 

Usually " making out" or kissing is not what hookers do with a john. As a deputy sheriff with a few arrests to my credit, I've never seen or even heard of a hooker kissing a john.

 

He can if he has reason, or probable cause to do so, but he should also first politely explain to you why he wants you to identify yourself. The situation may then be rectified with no issues at all.

 

Thats what im saying. I wonder what conclusion the cop leapt to upon seeing them making out. Something is off about this story.

 

Do you read all of these stories while you're on the check- out line at the grocery store?

 

1. No need to be snide.
2. They werent in a car.
3. Im well aware of what hookers and their loser johns do.

 

Yes . . . been there, done that. It used to be called military service by good citizens.

 

Your "gated" community isn't patrolled by the police unless your association is specifically asked. It's private property and without cause or a warrant they will not enter. So the underlying premise of your bon mot is interesting fiction?

Me thinks we haven't heard the entire story in context. Was he pushing her against a wall, grasping her tightly or pulling her to him appearing sexually aggressive? A cop has a duty to make sure that woman isn't in distress, to do so means he or she has to separate the duo so if under duress the woman or man, now safe, can tell the truth. This might be seen as intrusive to the amorously entwined and their mouths now disengaged from pleasure might now disparage the coitus interrupter leading to a further term of forced abstinence.

Eh, romance is dead, didn't the couple know that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Unless, she's kinky and can only reach exploding pleasure with aid from Tazer pulses?
