Jay Pharaoh recently told a harrowing story about being held by police in a case of mistaken identity.
Days before the killing of George Floyd, the former SNL star had a similar experience. He was walking down a street in Los Angeles when police stopped him, told him to get on the ground, drew their guns, and kneeled on his neck. A nearby surveillance camera captured the entire incident. Pharaoh recapped the story, and posted footage on his Instagram page.
