Actress Taraji P. Henson has apologized to police in the Southern California city of Glendale for accusing an officer of racially profiling her son.

Henson posted a statement on Instagram Friday afternoon, hours after the Glendale Police Department released video of a traffic stop of the actress’ son that showed the officer respectfully dealing with the 20-year-old.

“A mother’s job is not easy and neither is a police officer’s,” Henson wrote on the social networking site. “Sometimes as humans we overreact without gathering all the facts. As a mother in this case I overreacted and for that I apologize.

“Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son,” Henson wrote.

Henson accused a Glendale police officer of profiling her son in an interview with Uptown magazine.
