HuffPo article about actor Tarji P. Henson's son racially profiled at USC

I’m just wondering why we can’t take the woman at her word, rather than question her motivation or rally in support of the other side. It speaks volumes about our empathy. LAPD has been cited for some of its problematic officers in the past. I say let the article stand as is. Her perception is her reality, not ours. She deserved support - not ridicule from a person from another race who uses his/her own vantage point to decide what is true or not true.
