Daniele, who took to Facebook to share her ordeal, said she was with her husband Brian James on a busy street in Hollywood on September 2nd and a few minutes after the couple kissed, policemen (who had been called by unknown persons) approached them and asked to see their ID cards. Daniele refused and that was when her ordeal started. Continue...
Daniele Watts wrote on her Facebook
page:
'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.'
'When the officer arrived, I was standing on the sidewalk by a tree. I was talking to my father on my cell phone. I knew that I had done nothing wrong, that I wasn't harming anyone, so I walked away.
'A few minutes later, I was still talking to my dad when two different police officers accosted me and forced me into handcuffs.
'As I was sitting in the back of the police car, I remembered the countless times my father came home frustrated or humiliated by the cops when he had done nothing wrong. I allowed myself to be honest about my anger, frustration, and rage as tears flowed from my eyes.
'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.
Her husband Brian also posted the incident on his Facebook page. He wrote
"From the questions that he asked me as D was already on her phone with her dad, I could tell that whoever called on us (including the officers), saw a tatted RAWKer white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl and thought we were a H* (prostitute) & a TRICK (client).
'What an assumption to make! Because of my past experience with the law, I gave him my ID knowing we did nothing wrong and when they asked D for hers, she refused to give it because they had no right to do so.
'So they handcuffed her and threw her roughly into the back of the cop car until they could figure out who she was. In the process of handcuffing her, they cut her wrist, which was truly NOT COOL!!!'
The cut on her wrist

The poor lady, she should not have been harassed that way, the people who called the cops are very stupid for assuming she was a prostitute

These white ppl will never be cool
Bunch of racists

ReplyDeleteblack people! why in God's name didn't she just show em her ID and avoid all the conflict?! If she done the simple thing as show her ID, all this could have being resolved amicably.
ReplyDeleteLol. Crazy
ReplyDeleteAwww! She must have felt so embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteTrust me policemen are same worldover. The difference is some speak good English,while others speak broken English.
Always overzealous and acting on prejudice.

America is no "free country" blacks are still very much treated as second class. American white police very aggressive to black people.

ReplyDeleteNot just the right judgement should be made but the knowledge behind this 'black n white' people issue shod be properly addressed and implemented
ReplyDeleteSo sad. What a beautiful couple. Smh at america
ReplyDeleteThis so called white fools can over do most times. Ndi ara
ReplyDelete#nurseCandy..
Lmao.This cops won't mind their business
ReplyDeleteSo America Follow Dey Flout Human Right Laws??????
ReplyDeleteDey there! They are the world's worst human rights abusers IMO, but somehow they are able to get away with it because of their 'world police' status. I mean...see the torture they inflicted on prisoners of war in Iraq during the Bush 2 regime. A clear case of violation of the Geneva Conventions. Any other president would have been tried at The Hague but naaaaaahhhh it's Amerikkka.
DeleteHmmm...bastard cops!
ReplyDeleteAll because she's black. Stupid racist cops!
ReplyDeletelife!!! sometime it stuck
ReplyDeletebut i tot u can even bang a lady on d street, in america? y d arrest on jst a mare kiss?
ReplyDeleteLol white cops be humiliating blacks since 1900 wah a stupid assumption...am also free to assume they aren't humans buh goats
ReplyDeleteNa their way na...because she is black! but why did she refuse to show her ID? bad for her!!
ReplyDeleteThat's just a racist assumption, cuz she's not all 'tushly n poshly' dressed with expensive extensions to cover her hair and den again she's black, like seriously their action is sooo wrong for every reason. She's so cute anyway
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to America until I look like Dencia which is not happening any time soon. My cousin tells me alot about their ordeal over there. Nne sorry o.
ReplyDeleteDat is rubbish, d police men re very stupid 4dat insult, fuck police
ReplyDeleteIn a situation like this, both parties would be arrested but in this case, she was arrested plainly cos she was being rude to the police officers. They were both asked to show their ID's, her husband did but she walked away. She was later playing the fame and race card...
ReplyDeleteShe knew her rights, a police man has no right to walk up to u and ask for any information from u wit no reason, yes they ve powers but can only exercise such against one's right wen there is a perfectly logical assumption that they r dealing wit a suspect or criminal, she was just walking wit a man on d street n kissed him n den she was arrested for protecting her own info like Wtf in this case frm Linda's facts tho, they ve no right n she was absolutely in line for withholding her ID, Obama shud do smtn bout dis annoying racism
DeleteWhen I sent you a comment made by footballer Jack Wilshere on twitter about calling one of our Nigerian girl who took a selfie with Theo Walcott that she had Ebola, you never said anything ooo. Na wa for you Linda.
ReplyDeleteNo where is free, no doubt
ReplyDeleteWhat a bad assumption, so any hot butty black girl with a white guy on the street are up to deal stuff. Retarded police men
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
FIRST TO COMMENT***(GURU)
ReplyDeleteWHAT KIND OF STUPID PRESUMPTION IS THIS ONE.EVEN THE PERSON THAT ALERTED THE POLICE REGARDING THE KISSING MOST BE A STUPID MEDDLER..

ReplyDeleteGuess the cops didnt watch d movie.
Get ur story updated. She was having sex in da car in broad daylight with da car doors open. We blacks are always quick to turn any issue into a race issue. She should have showed them her I.d wen dey asked for it, her husband did. Why didn't she do dat??
ReplyDeleteDis brought tears to my eyes. Shez pretty
ReplyDeleteIt is well o.Sorry Daniele
ReplyDelete#Racism.
ARE THEY NARRATING HER MOVIE TO US OR WHAT? COS IN THIS PRESENT TIME IN AMERICA WHERE PEOPLE GO NAKED AND N0TNG HAPPENED TO THEM THEN THIS IS JUST ORDINARY KISSING AND SHE IS HANDCUFFED. HOPE IS A NEW MOVIE.
ReplyDeletenkiru4love@yahoo.com
Shit like this make happy im movin back to naija. Second class cItizien in this Oyibo world.
ReplyDeleteAbeg she look for trouble,just show your ID and be gone,didn't they look at her husband's own too,people just raise issue from no case,do they know you before,even if you are an actress,america is big as hell,they will not know your face my dear,cos if I don't
ReplyDeleteThat's not what she did. The neighbors called the police cos they were having sex outside. In US that's considered indecent exposure. But she turned the story to a race issue. It was on the news this morning, even TMZ commented on it this morning on the news.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest. She does look like a hooker
ReplyDeleteLinda get your facts right before u blog that's her boyfriend
ReplyDeleteWhy are black people always on the offensive? Her husband said it, knowing his experience in the past, he shoes them his ID. Why didn't she simply comply? The. They will claim racism for their own faults. You know you're a black woman wearing bum shorts, you will be profiled. But they will always want to argue first.
ReplyDeleteIF A COP ASKS FOR YOUR ID, PLEASE SHOW HIM YOUR ID. HE'S A COP, HE CAN SUSPECT WHATEVER HE LIKES, ITS PART OF HIS JOB. THEM COPS ARE PART OF THE REASON WHY AMERICA IS SECURE AS IT IS. DUNT ARGUE WITH A GUY WITH THE GUN. THOUGH YES, U DID NOTHING WRONG, JUST SHUT UP, SHOW UR ID AND GO YOUR WAY. AND LIVE. YOU LUCKY HE DIDNT SHOOT. YOU LUCKY U LIVED TO TELL YOUR STORY. SO MANY BLACK BOYS HAVE BEEN SHOT FOR WALKING DOWN THE STREETS. RACISM WONT STOP TODAY OR TOMORROW, IT'LL ALWAYS BE THERE. U CANT CHANGE IT IN A BODY BAG, SO FOR NOW, JUST OBEY THEM, AND KEEP OUT OF THEIR WAY. TO THEM, U TAKING UP SPACE IN THEIR COUNTRY, YOU ARE ALIEN AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED! UNTIL THAT CHANGES, KEEP SAFE. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!
ReplyDeleteSo embarrassing
ReplyDeleteOyibo get wahala sha...
ReplyDelete===Pearl===
she is black that is all blacks get from poor foolish white men
ReplyDeleteWhat an unfair world! The first pic though...
ReplyDeleteIf only she had shown her ID, guess d harassment is getting too much to bear.

ReplyDeleteWhat is this racist card for? The husband(white) and the Wife(black) were both accosted and asked to identify themselves. The Husband(white) did just that, the wife(black) on the other hand walked away.
ReplyDeleteWho was a Racist?
Who disrespected the law?
We are quick to play the racist card when we actually behave like retards.

I blame her. Why won't she give them her ID? They just asked for her ID!!! Mtcheeeeeew. Everything is racism for the black man.
ReplyDeleteso i just see this story for cnn now, no be her husband oh, na her boyfriend, they go de bang for motor na people call police for them..
ReplyDeleteAre they sure she wasn't havin sex with her husband publicly cos kissin is nt enough reason to arresst her. Doris
ReplyDeleteLook at all the stupid assholes on this thread who have no idea what went down before making a comment. Those cops make the country safe unlike the unqualified and lawless riff raffs back home. Linda get the story straight before posting this on your site. I know sensationalism rules the blogosphere but draw a line somewhere. The lady was giving the guy a blowjob in an open car in broad daylight when the people called the police for that. When they arrive and ask for an ID, give them the fucking ID and keep it stepping. If you don't like their conduct, take out a complaint afterwards. Make a scene and you sleep behind bars. If I am an officer and you gave me such lip while I was doing my job, you are getting locked up...black white or rainbow. Choose your fucking color.
ReplyDeleteValentine shut up! She is not required by any law to show her ID for kissing her husband.
ReplyDeleteNONSENSE, SO NA ONLY BLACK WOMEN DEY PROSPTITUTE? YEYE DEY SMELL. KIM AND CO WEY DEY DO PORN NKO?. I BEG LET HER SUE FOR TORTIOUS LIABILITY.
ReplyDeleteThe cop should have respected her enough to address her directly. But he didn't. These cops are criminals with badges. Who are suppose to uphold the Law. Cops want to be respected but that works both ways. By saying all that. I still believe that there are good people in this world. Who see people and not color. We are all one people and there is no dominate group of people. I ! don't ! care! who said that there is! they are WRONG !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCop was wrong!,
