People out in California are calling on actress Daniele Watts, best known for her role in “Django Unchained,” to apologize to cops for falsely crying racism.

And the demand is coming from the local civil-rights community.

Good for them.

Watts claims she was targeted by cops for making out with a white man — her boyfriend. Watts lobbed the charge after Los Angeles police, responding to a complaint about public lewdness, approached her, asked for ID and cuffed her when she refused to provide it.

Her accusation went viral.

But evidence that’s since become public contradicts her story. Photos show Watts straddling her boyfriend. An audio of the exchange further undercuts Watts’ version of events.

As if to underscore the absurdity of her accusation, of the three officers on the scene, one was gay, one Hispanic and one a woman.

All this has led Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Najee Ali to say Watts should apologize. The two men are, respectively, presidents of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable and Project Islamic Hope.

Hutchinson says he was initially “outspoken” about how badly Watts was treated before seeing the pictures. Now he thinks there was “probable cause” for the stop.

A charge of racism is not “a plaything,” Hutchinson says. He argues, rightly, that a “rush to judgment” is like “crying wolf.” After a while, he says, “it has no meaning.”

How refreshing. Someone makes a rush to judgment and admits it. We sure could use some of that in New York.
