Glumac Kol Spraus uhapšen je na jednom od protesta u Santa Moniki, delu Los Anđelesa, o čemu je javno pisao i na društvenim mrežama. 

U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama već sedam dana se održavaju protesti zbog ubistva Afroamerikanca Džordža Flojda, kojim je još jednom u prvi plan izbio rasizam sa kojim se tamnoputi Amerikanci svakodnevno suočavaju. Zvezde poput Arijane Grande, Madison Bir i Tinaše bile su deo protesta, a u jednom trenutku, protesnoj šetnji pridružio se i Kol Spraus, koji je, kako kaže, zbog toga bio uhapšen.

„Juče je grupa mirnih protestanata, među kojima sam bio i ja, uhapšena u Santa Moniki. Pre nego što krenu senzacionalistički naslovi, reći ću samo: Crni životi su važni“, napisao je on na Tviteru i dodao:

„Mirni protesti, nemirni protesti, razbijanje radnji, sve je to legitiman vid prostesta. Mediji će naravno prikazati samo one senzacionalističke trenutke, što samo dokazuje da podržavaju rasizam. Ja sam priveden dok sam sa drugim stajao, solidaran, kao i mnogi drugi. Dali su nam opciju da odemo i rečeno nam je da ćemo biti uhapšeni ukoliko se ne povinujemo tome.“

A group of peaceful protesters, myself included, were arrested yesterday in Santa Monica. So 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. I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica. We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested. When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us. 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. 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. This is precisely the time to contemplate what it means to stand as an ally. I hope others in my position do as well. I noticed that there are cameras that roll within the police cruisers during the entirety of our detainment, hope it helps. I’ll speak no more on the subject, as I’m (1) not well versed enough to do so, (2) not the subject of the movement, and (3) uninterested in drawing attention away from the leaders of the #BLM movement. I will be, again, posting the link in my story to a comprehensive document for donations and support.

Podsetimo, zbog ubistva Džordža Flojda, nenaoružanog tamnoputog muškarca koji je preminuo nakon što mu je policajac Derek Čovin prilikom hapšenja gnječio vrat kolenom, otpočeli su masovni antirasistički protesti po imenu “Ne mogu da dišem” širom Sjedninjenih Američkih država.

Ovo ubistvo samo je još jednom naglasilo rasizam, koji je prema rečima protestanata sveprisutan u američkom društvu, a koji je najvidljiviji u odnosu policijskih sila među građanima SAD koji nisu bele puti.
