Taraji P Henson Said :

“My child has been racially profiled. He was in Glendale, California and did exactly everything the cops told him to do, including letting them illegally search his car. It was bogus because they didn’t give him the ticket for what he was pulled over for,” Henson told the magazine. “Then he’s at University of Southern California, the school that I was going to transfer him to, when police stopped him for having his hands in his pockets. So guess where he’s going? Howard University. I’m not paying $50k so I can’t sleep at night wondering is this the night my son is getting racially profiled on campus.”

The University of South California’s department of Public Safety Chief said in a statement on Tuesday that any instance of unequal treatment will automatically trigger an investigation. Chief John Thompson said he was racially profiled as child and finds the allegations “Deeply Disturbing”. Its been no say what the current situation is but we will keep you updated if anything else pops up.
