Django Unchained actress, or prostitute?

Many commenters have been circling this thread like sharks. And for good reason, it is a meaty one!

Daniele Watts, an actress from the movie Django Unchained, was canoodling with her husband in LA. A cop, thinking she was a prostitute, asked her for her ID. She refused, and was handcuffed. There are also some pictures. She was black and her husband was white.

It's hard not to see race in the motives here.

Certainly, there seems a problem with police intrusion on a couple behaving legally. But, of course, since race is involved, Freepers tribal instinct is to to side with the police. So, with just about all the evidence against them, most of them strain mightily to justify the unjustifiable.

Like all good small government lovers, liberalh8ter knows you obey the cops at all times.

And there it is.....cops are racist because they stop you to make an inquiry and you're completely justified in just blowing them off. When those actions take their inevitable course, it's time to cry racism.

As is becoming increasingly more common, Rummyfan goes straight to hoax.

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’.

I'd say Oliviaforever should be more careful, but no one batted an eye.

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.

jacknhoo knows who is responsible for racial profiling - Marxists and blacks!

“’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.

Sweet Jesus, GrandJediMasterYoda Manages to blame the victim, because she probably voted for Obama, whom he also blames.

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!”

SkyPilot found a picture, so it's tie for pettiness!

This is a "Hollywood Star"?

She looks like the lady who cut in front of me at WalMart.

But wait, SkyPilot also shops at WalMart...

Sirius Lee always dresses up before leaving the house:

Why is she dressed up in a tattered garbage bag?

Rodamala has never seen a hooker.

I think she looks more like a street hooker than a Walmartian.

lepton asks the important question:

How long we’re they kissing?

Kissing for too long in public? Probably a whore.

Man, Moonman62, that's sad.

Married people rarely kiss in public. I think this was a setup.

Jonty30 can't believe the LA police could be racist:

Does it make sense to you that the police in the most liberal county in the most liberal state in the country, a place where morals is a quaint word from a bygone era, even 60 years ago, are going to react to some interracial necking?

Do you think it is possible the police may have had probable cause and it is the couple who were lying about what they were doin? That perhaps they went well beyond what is considered in good taste, even by Hollywood standards?

Popman also trusts the police, but hedges his bets.

Police especially are trained to be colorblind so I find it hard to believe that was the motivating factor...unless the cop was a jerk which could easily be the case..

PghBaldy finds silence very damming.

Said actress was on CNN and the large black female actor asked her what she was doing in the car, and she would not say... Case closed, IMO, she was having some time of sex.

Oh, man PghBaldy, that's not irony...

It is amazing how much better she looks in the maid outfit, ironically enough.

roofgoat laments he can never have such hotness.

what is this female attraction to over the top metrosexual, stick thin, pajama boy types?

I mean I’m no Robert Redford but what the heck is going on these days.

But, then you have PotatoHeadMick who gets it completely:

You know I really love this site but I despair at the number of posters here who just don’t seem to get it. What? Is the title too complicated? Are the concepts of “free” and “republic” ideas way above their pay grade?

“Ooooh, she’s black, I don’t like her clothes, she’s not very pretty, she’s probably an Obama voter, her husband has tattoos, she was uppity to a cop.....blah, blahh, blaaah,”

Because as we all know the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution only apply to people like us, people who think like us, people who dress like us, people who vote like us, people who have the same skin color as us, people who agree with us....

George III would have loved some of the people on this site.

Why he's still a Freeper I cannot say, but I hope he keeps it up, if only for the orgy of self-rationalization we'll get in the zot showdown that will someday follow.
