Filmmaker Tyler Perry makes Facebook post accusing police of racially profiling him
More here: http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/tyle...e-1407049.htmlAccording to Perry, police said he made an illegal turn when he turned left from the right lane. He was driving a car with tinted windows after leaving his southwest Atlanta studios near Greenbriar Mall. Perry said he made the maneuver to determine whether he was being followed.
Perry, named the highest paid entertainer by Forbes magazine, wrote on his Facebook fan page Sunday that he was “badgered” by two white police officers. Perry, who is black, said he was left shaken after one officer banged on the passenger side window to get him to roll it down and the other officer tried to turn off the car engine.
The two officers who stopped Perry did not recognize him, Perry wrote on Facebook, and questioned why he felt he might be followed. It was not until a third officer, who is black, arrived, recognized Perry and told his colleagues of Perry’s celebrity status that tensions apparently subsided. Perry was not issued a ticket.

so he admittedly broke the law, was "shaken" when officers tried to get him to roll down his darkly tinted windows, actualy told cops he was being followed and felt badgered when they were doing ACTUAL FUCKING POLICE WORK by asking why he would be followed and because of all this he thinks he was harassed/racial profiled?!?!?!?

Bravo Sierra.

Did anyone flip over a rock to see what crawled out from under it i.e. to wit Jesse Jackson, Geraldo Rivera or Al Sharpton??

Love those dark tint stops, especially at night, with claims of profiling. You can't tell if the person is white, black, purple or green. Even if you did want to racially profile, how are you going to see the person in the car?

Officers utilized discretion and did not issue a cite for an admitted violation...
... and are thanked for it by being called racists.

The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented
on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle."
(just stole this one hope you don't mind)
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant,
it is just that they know so much that isn't so.
