Last week, actress Daniele Watts claimed she was detained by the Los Angeles Police Department for kissing her boyfriend. She alleged she was racially profiled and that she was accused of being a hooker.

Then, a police audio tape surfaced that showed Watts being uncooperative with police and that the officers accused her of having sex with her boyfriend in a car. The celebrity gossip site TMZ.com released some pictures a few days ago that appear to corroborate the police account.

Now some civil rights leaders have demanded that Watts apologize to both the LAPD and the black community as a whole.

CBS Los Angeles has more:

   Project Islamic Hope President Najee Ali, Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson and other civil rights leaders held a meeting at 9:30 a.m. denouncing Daniele Watts after a recent incident.

   [...]Civil rights leaders previously called the incident a blatant act of racial profiling before the audio recording and several photos were released.

   “We have nothing to be embarrassed about. She should be embarrassed. She’s the one that told the lie. She came and stated she’s a victim of racial profiling. We found out later on based on new information that she wasn’t,” activist Najee Ali said. “We didn’t make a rush to judgment. We can [sic] to aid a victim who we thought was victimized. For us, she’s wrong. That’s why we’re demanding Daniele Watts apologize not to LAPD but to our community.”

However, Watts’ response was not what they were looking for. According to Fox News, the actress refused to apologize.

I think the story here is that civil rights leaders called her out (without, of course, taking any responsibility for the usual overplaying of the race card).
