Apologizes to police

Apology0 Comments

Henson apologizes to the Glendale Police Department for her allegations that the police had racially profiled her son.

I would like to publicly apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Department. A mother’s job is not easy and neither is a police officer’s. Sometimes as humans WE over react without gathering all of the facts. As a mother in this case I over reacted and for that I apologize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son.

You know if you a hoe girl be a hoe behind the scenes. Seriously, I mean that because if you’re having sex with them. Why would they ever want to work with you again. Think about it.
