SNL alum Jay Pharoah shares video of LAPD officer kneeling on his neck
revealed on Instagram that a Los Angeles police officer recently kneeled on his neck while detaining him. The actor and comedian also posted an apparent surveillance video showing the full incident.
Pharoah said that in mid-February, he was jogging in Los Angeles when he stopped by a police officer on Ventura Blvd. when this happened: "I see an officer to the left of me, I'm not thinking anything of it because I'm a law-abiding citizen," Pharoah said. "And also keep in mind I got my Bose headphones on, noise-canceling, so I'm in my zone right now. I look to my left, I see him coming with guns blazing. I see him say, 'Get on the ground. Put your hands up like you're an airplane.
"I said, 'Why are you doing this? What's wrong?'" Pharoah continued. "They said, 'You fit the description of a black man in this area with gray sweatpants and a gray shirt.' I told them, 'If you Google right now, 'Jay Pharoah,' you'll see that you made a big mistake.' They said, 'Do you want to sit on the side?' I'm like, 'I don't even want to be on the ground.' They come back: 'We're sorry.
"I had never been in cuffs before," Pharoah added. "I'm from the 'burbs, you know? My parents tried to shelter me and my sister for years. So we never saw that. I hadn't experienced firsthand racism until this year. Black lives always matter. My life matters. I'm still here to tell my story. But I could have easily been an Ahmaud Arbery or a George Floyd. But I'm not, so I can tell my story. This is what you need to do: Educate yourselves on the laws.
