'This is precisely the time to contemplate what it means to stand as an ally.'
star took to Instagram on Monday to detail what happened, telling his fans that he and"a group of peaceful protestors" were detained one night prior.
"Before the voracious horde of media sensationalism decides to somehow turn it about me, there's a clear need to speak about the circumstances: Black Lives Matter. Peace, riots, looting, are an absolutely legitimate form of protest. The media is by nature only going to show the most sensational, which only proves a long standing racist agenda," he wrote. "I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica.
"It needs to be stated that as a straight white man, and a public figure, the institutional consequences of my detainment are nothing in comparison to others within the movement. This is ABSOLUTELY not a narrative about me, and I hope the media doesn't make it such," he added."This is, and will be, a time about standing ground near others as a situation escalates, providing educated support, demonstrating and doing the right thing.
