"Perry's predicament began when he admittedly made a left turn from a far-right lane -- a trick his security detail taught him, to make sure he wasn't being followed, Perry explained on Facebook.

Two white Atlanta police officers pulled him over, but apparently did not realize they'd just stopped Tyler Perry.

When Perry explained his illegal turn was to make sure no one was tailing him, one officer allegedly asked, "Why do you think someone would be following you?" Perry said in his post.

Before Perry could answer, the second white officer started "banging" on his passenger's side window -- apparently taking issue with the window's tint"

Take your ticket and STFU next time. Making sure that noone is tailing you is not grounds to break the law.

It bothers me more that their behavior changed for the better when they were told they were dealing with a celebrity.

Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.

A white cop pulled me over when I ran a stop sign. He apologized and said he thought I was a Mexican at his angle.

Absolutely. When cops deal with celebrities, they should be doing everything by the book, not letting them off simply because they are a celebrity.

Tyler Perry is a playwright and very well spoken.

Your choice of language is telling.

Doesn't surprise me Fisted Puma sees a black person and assumes they must talk in a certain stereotypical, uneducated way.

Not only did I have no idea who Tyler Perry is, a look at his films and plays reveals that not only have I not seen any of them, I've heard of none of them (aside from his Trek cameo)
