Django Unchained Actress Daniele Watts, who claimed that she was mistaken as prostitute by the Los Angeles Police, is lying. This is what the officer who arrested the actress thinks of the stories she posted on Facebook.
LAPD Sgt. Jim Parker told The Hollywood Reporter that he had the incident recorded. The actress was arrested for allegedly having sex on the car with his white boyfriend Brian James Lucas.
“Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place,” she wrote on her Facebook page.
Parker obviously has a different account of the events.
"They were f—ing. He was in the passenger seat with his legs outside," Parker said, referring to a call made by a person from the Art Directors Guild office who he said called to complain about a couple ‘having sex in a car in broad day light, with doors open.’
"People having sex in the car, no biggie. No one wants to arrest anybody," Parker explained. "And he [Lucas] said, 'Oh, I have her passport.' He was wearing two tourist bags around his neck and I assumed he had hers. She was feigning disinterest, but I could tell she was listening in. Then as you hear on the recording, she starts making a fuss, and quite frankly I don't need to see her ID but she does have to ID herself."
Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts, however, insisted that this could be another case of racial profiling since she is an African American. In a recording made public by TMZ, a woman was heard on the phone asking if she was arrested because she’s black.
"Do you know how many times the cops have been called because I'm black? Just because I'm black and he's white?" Later, she says, "You can say I'm resisting arrest. It's my right to stand on the street corner and make out with my boyfriend."
Parker said that Watts was just not being helpful on the situation.
"I've been here before, I'm not touching her. I don't want to be accused of anything. So I requested a female officer and said, 'Hey guys, grab that female on the phone and bring her back to me.'"
"I'm thinking, 'God, it's taking a long time to bring her back to me,' Parker continues. "They [two other officers] said, 'She's being difficult.' They have her handcuffed, because that's what they do. It's too far to walk, so they drove her back. And I said, 'You have to give me your ID or tell me your name.' She's crying."
