'Django Unchained' Actress Ordered to Apologize to Police in Lewd Conduct Case 

By Associated Press, May 4, 2015, Hollywood Reporter

An actress who accused Los Angeles police of racial profiling when they investigated a report she was having sex with her boyfriend in a parked car has been ordered to apologize to officers as part of a plea deal.

Daniele Watts, who appeared in Django Unchained, pleaded no contest Monday to disturbing the peace with loudness.

Los Angeles city attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan says Watts and her boyfriend, who entered the same plea, were sentenced to 40 hours of community service and must write apology letters to three officers and the occupants of a building near where they were arrested last year.

"If we're going to condemn me, then we also have to look at the entire society that I am a product of," Watts contended while speaking at a panel discussion on Monday at the University of Southern California School of Law.

Watts was reportedly teary-eyed, declaring, "at a certain point, enough is enough and somebody has to say something," according to the Los Angeles Times.

She explained that it was not only a traumatic experience she had when she was 16, involving a white police officer and her father, which caused her to pull the race card on Sgt. Jim Parker in North Hollywood on September 11. Watts added that the incidents in Ferguson further propelled her reaction to Sgt. Parker when he arrived to investigate a claim that she and boyfriend Brian James Lucas were making love in public.
