Actress Taraji P. Henson has apologized to police in the Southern California city of Glendale for accusing an officer of racially profiling her son.
Henson posted a statement on Instagram Friday afternoon, hours after the Glendale Police Department released video of a traffic stop of the actress' son that showed the officer respectfully dealing with the 20-year-old.
"A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's," Henson wrote on the social networking site. "Sometimes as humans we overreact without gathering all the facts. As a mother in this case I overreacted and for that I apologize.
"Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son," Henson wrote.
Henson accused a Glendale police officer of profiling her son in an interview with Uptown magazine.
The Los Angeles Times obtained the video of the October traffic stop of Henson's son, Marcell, for driving through a lighted crosswalk while a pedestrian was walking in it.
Henson said her son was stopped on the Los Angeles campus "for having his hands in his pockets."
