Jay Pharoah: Cops Put Knee on My Neck Because ‘I Fit a Description’
June 15, 2020
Saturday Night Live alum Jay Pharoah says he was out jogging in Los Angeles, when he noticed a police officer with a gun pointed at him. The cops then got him on the ground spread eagle, and put him in cuffs. Sharon Osborne was visibly shocked as Pharaoh described the police then putting a knee on his neck while he was already handcuffed. Eventually, he was let go after they told him they had the wrong guy. Pharoah posted “I literally could have been the next George Floyd… I can’t breathe.”
