John Cusack says police ‘came at me with batons’
Celebrities are speaking out and joining protests against police brutality after the death of George Floyd, who died on Memorial Day when a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck. Actor John Cusack says police officers came at him with a baton as he filmed protesters in Chicago on Saturday. The “Say Anything…” star shared a video that included audio of cops allegedly hitting his bicycle as they yell “Move! Get out of here! Get your bike out of here now!” Cusack appeared to be uninjured, but said “anarchy and looting” were widespread in his hometown: “Many of police I talked to last night — understood rage of the protestors & did their best to deescalate during day & into night – But After perimeter was set around trump tower & bridges raised — it got so fearful and violent — the dynamic changed rapidly into chaos,” he said Sunday.
