Tyler Perry Racial-Profiling Case: Atlanta Police Officers Cleared of Any Wrongdoing
We can only wonder how Madea would react to this.
Two white police officers whom Tyler Perry accused of racial profiling following a prolonged traffic stop in Atlanta have been cleared of allegations.
The officers were let off the hook after a four-month internal investigation concluded that “the actions of both officers with the regard to the traffic stop of Mr. Perry were justified, lawful and proper,” according to the investigation report, per CNN.
In a lengthy Facebook post detailing his version of events, the Madea’s Witness Protection filmmaker claimed that back in February, he was on his way from his Atlanta-area studio to the airport when he was stopped by two white police officers for making an illegal turn.
After Perry explained that he made the turn to ensure he wasn’t being followed, the officers allegedly turned hostile, repeatedly badgered him and refused to let him go.
“It was so hostile. I was so confused,” Perry wrote in his Facebook post. “It was happening so fast that I could easily see how this situation could get out of hand very quickly. I didn’t feel safe at all.”
