"I would like to apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Department," Henson wrote on Instagram Friday. "A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's. Sometimes as humans we over react without gathering all the facts. As a mother in this case I over reacted and for that I apologize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son
Henson's original claims were made to Uptown magazine last month. "My child has been racially profiled," she said. "He was in Glendale, California and did exactly everything the cops told him to do, including letting them illegally search his car. It was bogus because they didn't give him the ticket for what he was pulled over for."
As for the video that surfaced today, the footage showed that the police officer actually let Marcel off easy and gave him a ticket for possessing marijuana instead of driving through a crosswalk with blinking lights (a moving violation).
"So I'm going to give you a citation for the marijuana. Listen, I'm not going to give you a citation for running that yellow because that will actually put a moving violation on your license and you're going to have to do traffic school and all that stuff. So I'm helping you out by not giving you a violation on that. All I'm going to do is take the weed from you. You can go to court and show your prescription and stuff and you can handle it that way," the cop explained. "It felt like this was a little better than the other one. I am giving this to you too because you smoked weed about two hours ago."

Even if the cop let her son off easy, there's no need for her apology. She should've kept that to herself.
-
She captioned the message with, "#TurningANegativeIntoAPositive #LoveTarajiPHenson."
Shut the ? up
-
This backtracking ass ? ? .

Regardless, why was her son stopped to begin with???
Just because he aint get beat the ? up , r shot up doesn't mean he wasn't profiled..
2 yall are being harsh on Taraji...i agree she shouldn't of aplogized. yet,Ive seen 6'10, 250lb black men apologize like ? over worst. -
Nothing wrong with apologizing when you feel you've made a mistake.
No need for the ugly insults. -

? super moo
She didnt make a mistake super moo. Her son was profiled super moo. On mutiple occasions super moo.
She most likely was pressured to apologize. Super moo. -
Na homie actually had weed on him and committed a minor traffic violation. The cop could've done him ? but let him slide. Her apology was justified. You gotta take your L's in stride

i might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure above it says he drove through crosswalk with blinking lights... -
Only bad thing about this is white folks are gonna latch on to this ? forever. They gonna bring this up as an example every time something does actually happen. White people hate to see themselves in the mirror more than anybody.
It's in the past, get over it! - white people -
Would the cops have apologized if they had put 10 slugs in her son's chest?
Of course not; they'd call it justified.
You should NEVER apologize to the police... Even if you're 100% in the wrong.
This broad needs to have her teeth knocked out.This backtracking ass ? ? .

But cops never apologize for murdering unarmed black people. So her being Black, im not sure why she felt the need to publicly apologize to a cop. That ? look weak imo. -
This ? was probably orchestrated especially considering her name is hot right now coming off of Empire. There is an agenda being pushed clearly. #TheNewBlack . Ein nobody falling for that BS.

Lol.. -
Ol' ? gave me a break ass ? ....
Dude still got a ticket for weed, didn't he ?
As far as going through blinking lights.... foh, that ? is usually something NOBODY should get stopped for.
Drivers pretty much negotiate blinking lights on their own, many times people go out of turn.
In any event, no Black person should be making a public apology to any police department in this current climate of police racism and brutality. -
Running a yellow?
Foh -

Apologizing is subordinate behavior
You wouldn't understand -
no wonder she wants him to go to howard

Da ? is a super moo? -
