A Django Unchained actress is claiming she was 'handcuffed and detained' by police after being mistaken for a prostitute as she kissed her white husband.
Daniele Watts, who played slave CoCo in the award-winning film, posted the news on her Facebook page on 2 September and said her arm was cut when she was handcuffed.
Watts and her husband Brian James Lucas claim that they were kissing on a Hollywood street when police were called and they were asked to show their ID card to which Watts refused.

JBT ping.
is this the same movie where the star of it was asked if he liked the movie and he replied”:what is there not to like I get to kill a bunch of white guys:
No doubt she’s an Obama fan and of course complains when she gets a taste of fascism. “Oh I’m voting for the guy who supports communism and radical Islam, you know those two great wellsprings of freedom!”
The perfect being the enemy of the good.
Never heard of Watts. I suspect there is more to this story and it is a very lame attempt for publicity for a sagging ‘career’.
There must be more to the story and the “victim” here is going straight to the bottom of the deck and pulling out the Race Card.
The Mail article nor Watts are able to provide data as to how often the police in Studio City take similar actions when they see two Caucasians kissing on the street. Maybe, they left out that information because they found that Watts’ race had nothing to do with the actions of the police.

Yes it is - Jamie Foxx. Haven’t watched one of his films since.
On another note - This whole report just doesn’t pass the sniff test.
Duh! An American is required by law to show their identification credentials when asked by a LEO. Refusal results in arrest.
“Duh! An American is required by law to show their identification credentials when asked by a LEO. Refusal results in arrest.”
That is how I understand the law.
This whole situation may be explained as simply as, the police officers were walking down the street asking everyone for their identification credentials, and Watts was the only person to refuse and that’s why she ended up in the police car wearing handcuffs.
My understanding is you have to identify yourself,as in, state your name and where you are from. I don’t think you have to show any credentials because we don’t have laws requiring us to carry papers.
“’The tears I cry for a country that calls itself ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave’ and yet detains people for claiming that very right.”
Yeah, the atheistic Marxists have long ago removed those qualities from this nation’s list of exceptional attributes...and many of those removals have occurred at the hands of atheistic Marxists pimping racism. I suppose blacks think they are punishing whites, by the destruction of this nation’s Judeo-Christian values and the tenets of our Constitution. Kind of cut off their own noses, to spite their face, so to speak.
“Duh! An American is required by law to show their identification credentials when asked by a LEO. Refusal results in arrest.”
Wrong.
roll eyes time
Assuming this went down as described, I'm going to split from the majority here and say this looks like a legitimate complaint to me.
It is an interesting item. The cops were called because a man and a woman were kissing on the sidewalk. The man is a tatted up white guy and the woman is a thin black girl in shorts. The call probably said there is a “working girl” and her “John” on the street in front of my business swapping spit.
the cops show up and the girl is on the phone and can’t be bothered. Her husband figures it out and hand over his ID and the cops cuff the uncooperative wife.
Perfect storm of conceptions, assumptions and attitude. If she would have put herself in the cops position, knowing he was showing up due to a call, she could have gotten rid of her anger toward whoever called and in 20 seconds the cop would have been gone. Likewise the husband could have handed over his ID like he did but introduced his wife, “officer, this is my wife who thinks who ever called and complained is a racist” and the incident would have ended.
Those events didn’t play out that way and boom — perfect storm of assumptions by all parties.
It may very well be legitimate, but without the context it’s difficult to understand it. It’s unlikely the couple were merely just kissing when the officer chose to arrest them.
As I said, assuming it went down as described.

There was no indication that they were doing anything else.
