Tyler Perry Pulled Over, Says Racial Profiling
Reuters ^ | April 5th, 2012 | Andrew Chow

Tyler Perry's April 1 Facebook post about police pulling him over was no April Fool's joke: The highest-paid man in entertainment is accusing a pair of white Atlanta police officers of racial profiling. Four days later, Perry's post boasts more than 117,000 "likes," 21,000 comments, and 12,000 shares. Atlanta police have launched an internal investigation, E! News reports. Perry's predicament began when he admittedly made a left turn from a far-right lane -- a trick his security detail taught him, to make sure he wasn't being followed, Perry explained on Facebook. Two white Atlanta police officers pulled him over, but apparently did not realize they'd just stopped Tyler Perry.

the Atlanta cops response to “I’m Tyler Perry” SHOULD have been,

If you are going to drive like this, perhaps you should consider a large donation to the POLICEMAN'S FUND.

“Did his security detail teach this trick to all black people?”

I can’t answer that, but it makes me wonder if this guy is teaching Asians how to drive...

He admitted that he made an illegal move but he was pulled over just for being black.

Actually, he was pulled over for being an inconsiderate idiot. The fact he was rich, gay, and black had nothing to do with it.

He was let go, for at least one of those reasons (listed in order of probability).

Fortunately, the only thing damaged in this illegal maneuver was his ego. This story is about him venting his emotion, like a whiny manic-depressive on her period, using TWITTER.

BTW, if Perry was Asian and pulled over, he would not complain of the race card, as Asians are the model minority. Quiet, law abiding, hard working, contribute to society.

Nope, just some guy in Northern California who has witnessed numerous instances of bad driving by Asians. :)

If your eyelids covered half your eye, you wouldn't be that good a driver either.

All the black racists come out of the closet at times like this.

It was promised as police abuse became more and more documented on cameras via the net and more and more obvious to citizens, the black racists would move in to protect each other from real violations and crimes in the name of crooked police officers.

The black racists will reshape police unprofessionalism and abuse to their liking - whitey’s inately racist skin is the problem. All they gots to do is get rid of whitey.

I like his movie Why did we get married. Hilarious table scene. He is kind of cute.
