Vivica A. Gets Racial

Posted Jun 27th 2007 10:20PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained an arrest report written after the California Highway Patrol arrested Vivica A. Fox for DUI in March, and it appears the actress copped a major attitude.

The officer says in the report, after she was stopped, "Fox began to walk away, yelling at my partner, 'Brother help a sister -- are you going to let this racist white cop do this ... well are you?'"

In the section of the report in which the officers are asked to describe the demeanor of the person they're arresting, the officer wrote "demeaning." We're told things got volatile enough that a patrol sergeant was called to the scene.

Daniel Laubscher, the officer who wrote the report, and who Fox called "racist," is white. The other officer, called "brother" by Fox, is Sam Dealba -- and he's Hispanic.

Fox was taken to the station where a breath test was administered. The report reads, "Fox then burped quite loudly and I then aborted the test." She was also advised she could take off her 3-4 inch high heeled spiked boots, but "she told me she was a dancer and felt more comfortable wearing them."

Fox has been charged with one count of DUI and one count of driving while impaired. We're told she blew a .09, just over the .08 legal limit. If convicted, Fox faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Fox's rep had no comment.

63. Well, one thing's for sure in my book. Having read my first 5-page police report, police officers are to be commended for the paperwork and red tape and procedure and protocol that they have to go through each and every time they make an arrest like this--and this one was just ho-hum as far as arrests go. You have to watch every single p and q to make sure someone doesn't call you on a technicality even when ethically and morally, that person knows s/he messed up. I'm glad the documentation is there as a procedure, but *good grief*--look at how many tests he performed, how many times he had to explain the tests and wait--it's like teaching in a middle school. Seems to me that Ms. Fox has got not one thread of an argument to weave into any kind of legit defense.

And, yes, I agree with an earlier poster. If a white person appealed to another white person to "help a sister/brother" out, white-to-white, it would be all over the news. This apparently, is all over the gossip news, too, but it doesn't have the same shock value does it? I see that in my classroom too. Some ethnicities feel they can say anything at all and it's clever or hip or justified, while those same ethnicities are absolutely outraged and screaming for law suits when the other groups try to be just as hip, ill-mannered, stupid, whatever.

65. t's sad how much hate is directed at white people from people of color. I have found it all over the world in my travels, and it is getting worse. White people are not a protected class, and it is politically correct to hate them. Hate crimes against white people are on the rise in America, but the liberal media will not report it. How far will this racial hypocrisy go?

66. Whites have been pretty much forced to "take" crap from people of color now for a very long time...look around you..it's getting to where "whitey" is getting pretty tired of taking this crap that has been dished out for so many years. The whites of today are NOT the terrorist that schools and blacks have been teaching for over 30 yrs now...thank god most people are now taking a look through the looking glass and seeing something totally different!

68. It's sad to see another washed-up sista doin what she done. She was only an actress who made it up to B movies a few times because of her boobs and booty all pumped up. All the recognition went to her head and made her think she really was "somebody".Her only "acting" worth mentioning was in "Soul Food", where she played a bitch with an attitude. Now her only publicity comes from acting stupid in public.

69. #96 -- Who said the officer was Mexican?? He is "Hispanic". Get some education fool; everything Hispanic is not MEXICAN.

70. Correction: Everyone Hispanic is not MEXICAN.

71. The following is in regards to comment #21. You have nerve to say that "you," (meaning white people) CREATED this country. oh, you did?? Last I looked, this country orginially belonged to Native Americans, and all colors have made this country what it is today. Ignorance is not the best way to make a point! And about "minorities dominating welfare programs," what are you talking about?? All colors use these programs, white people are not exempt! Your racist, ignorant, hateful words just validate Vivica's comments (I do not agree with her comments, but think about it....). #21, and all other ignorant people--stop making race issues out of everything, try to see from a minority stand point for once, and no need to cry "victim" when there is no need or reason! People are people, regardless of color. Our experiences may differ due to our color, but we all have the same desires, wishes, fears, and insecurities.

72.
#62--
First of all, it is Etc. not Ect....just a tip! :) Also, there aren't such things as White History Month, because you get the WHOLE year! Think about it and check out the history books....minorites have to have specific times/days set aside for them, because of the lack of representation. You may want to stop crying about the month that blacks and Latinos get, and see the reasoning behind it!
