Cherie Johnson was on Punky Brewster and Family Matters back in the day. Now, along with her actor boyfriend she teaches acting classes while still hustling to find roles. While on vacation with her boyfriend in Myrtle Beach, SC, the pair were pulled over for speeding. They took the ticket and moved on. According to Johnson the pair stopped on the side of the road a few miles up the road because there was a cotton field and Ms. Johnson wanted a photo.
The policeman pulled behind their car once again and Ms. Johnson told the police they were taking a photo. The policeman then asked if they had drugs in the car and pulled out his gun on the pair. He told Cherie that a warrant had been issued for her arrest which was a lie. When they asked if this was because they were black the officer cuffed the pair and said they looked like drug dealers and probably had a dead body in the trunk and asked to search it. They let him and he found nothing and eventually let them go.
The Sheriff says he is investigating the situation and told CNN that the Deputy is also being investigated. You know nothing will happen and that it happens everyday but just doesn't get reported on CNN.
Now that's a headline that I didn't see coming.
ReplyDeleteJeez Louise!!
ReplyDeleteRacism was eradicated when Obama was elected.
ReplyDeleteThis *does* happen every day and it's shameful, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAs long as these morons suffer no consequences for their 19th century behavior, they'll continue as they are. It's disgusting and disheartening.
Wow, am I cranky today.(<--not a question)
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis happens way too often but it still always shocks me. Damn ENTY you just gave me the sads:-(
I would be interested in seeing a picture, maybe they did look like drug dealing murderers? It would seem odd to me too if someone stopped around an open field who clearly didn't belong there.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why this country will never progress.
DeleteSo:
ReplyDelete-If the cop was right, we will never hear of this story again. He will be killed by some barack hussein's sons in the following years as that Australian cracker was in OK (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/australian-athlete-shot-bored-oklahoma-teens-felled-single-bullet-autopsy-article-1.1438202).
-If the cop really made up the evidence, we all will know his name, address and everything, Laura Winslow's friend will be as barack hussein's son and the cop will be murdered by more of barack hussein's sons.
Anyway, the cop's days are counted.
Really Dude? Really? Why is that suspicious?!?!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I just recently stopped my car to take a photo of a sunset behind a cornfield. Good thing there weren't any cops around, I could have been booked for murder for being suspicious of stopping to take a freakin photo!!!!
I hope she still dresses like she's on Punky Brewster! Is that the most recent picture of her out there? Wouldn't that actually be sadder than her getting arrested?
ReplyDeleteIts a shame but shit like that happens all the time down here in the South.
ReplyDeleteI got questioned the other day for parking my car in my neighborhood pool parking lot while I jogged around the lake. Cop pulled up, all lights flashing and tried to tell me how suspicious the situation was because it was so late at night (9pm), I was parked in an empty lot (at the front &directly under a street light) and had a sandwhich bag on my front seat. In good ole Texas suburbia.
ReplyDeleteDidnt know SC so backward. Idiot cop.
ReplyDeleteShe was a semi-regular on "Family Matters," the show with Steve Urkel. She was Laura's best friend.
ReplyDeleteCherie deserves better! We all deserve better.
ReplyDeletePolice STATE!!! MONEY. IDIOTS.
RememberKermitGosnell makes me miss those trolls that were posting a couple months back.
ReplyDeleteGet. A. Life.
I'm not too fond of a majority of cops. I'm white, and have been treated like shit when being pulled over. I can't imagine what is said/done to non whites.

ReplyDeleteIf true then this cop is a waste of life!
ReplyDelete@the dude. What exactly does a murderer look like?
Oh, NomNom, you're not alone. At least they were funny and not bigoted a*holes.
ReplyDeleteI'm white, but wouldn't fiddle around on a highway in the south w/ North East plates. It aint that they hate blacks, they hate outsiders of any sort.
ReplyDeleteI received a ticket last night by the nicest white cop on earth. He was amazing to me. I was saying thank you sir and everything.
ReplyDeleteI am black and he was white and i live in Texas.
There job is so hard i know it, but there are so many jerk cops that give every cop a bad rap.
Did they find the body in a old fridge? you have to remember Punky Brewster to get the joke
ReplyDelete@Gary T. Burnaska
ReplyDeleteOr you have to have seen "Bernie" starring Jack Black and Shirley Maclaine, which takes place in Texas.
I hate to be a cynic, but this could also be a story concocted to get some press coverage for a has-been actress.
ReplyDeleteSinging "I hate the kids" replacing kids with "pigs". With great power comes much arseholiness. I seriously hate the pigs.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't believe a word of this crap.
ReplyDeletefor the non-believers
