[history]
The Glendale Police Department released dash cam video of the encounter Friday, which contradicted her son's claims.
Police released the footage after Henson commented about the alleged profiling in an Uptown Magazine interview published last month.
In her interview, the star of the hit television show "Empire" said her son, Marcell Johnson, 20, was racially profiled in Glendale and at the University of Southern California, where she accused campus police of stopping him for "having his hands in his pockets."

White people racist.
Black people good.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
So an Instagram cures a year of an officer being called a racist?
I don’t care what this racist woman has to say. Clearly, SHE PROFILED THE OFFICER without knowing all the facts.

Uhn huh.
She sounds like a good Mom and reasoned.
I’ll bet her son got an earful at a minimum, if not at least one slap.
Good for her.
Always liked her and her son should not be allowed to disturb his Mom’s peace or allow her to make a fool of herself.

Hollywood always showed a bunch of loveable white losers as pot smoking slackers. However,most young blacks males would smoke pot 24/7 if they could.

I find it interesting that he was in possession of a class three narcotic without a prescription but they let that slide and only wrote him up for the marijuana, yeah I think he was profiled.

That mother needs to kick her son’s ass into next week for lying to her, and she is now a publicly known fool.

"A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's," she said in a post on Instagram. "Sometimes as humans we overreact without gathering all of the facts. As a mother in this case I overreacted and for that I apologize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son." As public apologies go with celebrities, that's a pretty darn good one.

"officers found marijuana, honey oil (concentrated marijuana), a marijuana grinder and a knife"
The cops let him off very lightly. Sorry I don't think slapping a 20 year old (or a 6 year old for that matter) solves anything. Driving around with honey oil, a grinder, and loose marijuana is a little too much. I'm guessing the knife was going to be used to smoke the oil.

for claiming her son was racially profiled People who don't profile are not very aware and subject themselves and their families to possible danger.

We don’t disrespect Mom...

ehhh, pretty much ok. My dil gave birth yesterday. My new grandson! 9 lbs 2 oz with the biggest feet I've ever seen on a baby. Purty baby!!!!
That was Friday, on Saturday morning, the ped. put him in NICU because he sort of hummed or groaned when he breathed. I do the same thing when I'm tired or sick (which is almost all the time) Antibiotics, NG tubes, you name it. Fools. He's on a bottle again already, her milk isn't coming in. Probably because she is short on blood!!
She got THREE units of red blood and 1 of white today. Shaking head. They didn't notice she was that anemic and exhausted????????? C Sect, with removal of large fibroid. Same hospital that I was in. I'm old enough to say NO to prophylactic antibiotics, the baby was not. Shaking head.
