Several advocates are changing their stance on Daniele Watts' incendiary Facebook post: "It's like crying wolf"
Civil rights leaders who initially defended Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts in her dispute with the Los Angeles Police Department are now calling on her to apologize.
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable president Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Project Islamic Hope president Najee Ali and other activists held a press conference Friday, telling reporters that they now have doubts about Watts' side of the story.
"I was one that was very outspoken about it," Hutchinson said about having come to Watts' defense when her story first broke, as quoted by NBC 4. "We take racial profiling very seriously. It's not a play thing. It's not trivial."
Hutchinson wants Watts to apologize to the LAPD. He said that, based on photos taken that show Watts straddling boyfriend Brian James Lucas in a car, he now believes there was "provable cause for the detention." He added about Watts' Facebook post: "It's like crying wolf."

You just laid out the perfect argument for making fugly a crime.
White liberal elites are disappointed black ADULTS are speaking the truth - they don't want adults in charge of 'the community'. Progressives want angry black rabble at the top... people who will get the vote out for democrats.
ahhh but Master Po I thought you told me we only quit learning when we mo longer are
You make the assumption he saw the video before having an opinion. I don’t believe that is the case.

Or we get too damn tired, whichever comes first... ;)
Very attractive couple this topply miss Jenga and her horse.
well there is that too
She was apparently having sex in the car, with her top up and breasts exposed, the car door open, and everybody around could see them. That's what generated the complaint. And TMZ has the pictures.
The "civil rights" leaders want her to apologize because she makes them look bad, and it will be yet one more phoney incident that people can point to when somebody cries "racist!".
With a WHITE GUY (albeit he was her husband).
Black privilege is revoked if you are a 'black' female with a 'white' male. Except for Oprah.
Hasn't seemed to bother Obama.
And yet, at GAY DAY PARADES, people are having sex in the street.
I guess that old real estate phrase makes sense now.... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
True.

“Django Unchained” actress Daniele Watts may be convincing in the movies, but not in real life because she’s just been charged with lewd conduct for allegedly having sex in her car outside CBS Studios.
Watts went on a campaign against the LAPD ... accusing cops of racism for cuffing her after people complained they were banging in the Mercedes in Studio City. Watts, who claims she and her BF were just making out, walked away from cops in a fury, so they cuffed her and brought her back.
Prosecutors listened to the LAPD audio — obtained by TMZ — and realized what was up. Armed with various witnesses and photos of Watts straddling her BF with her breasts exposed, she and the BF were each charged with lewd conduct in public.
The cop is pretty hilarious in the recording (link in my post above)
