In the process of being detained Pharaoh says one of the officers pushed his knee into his neck in the same manner that murderer patrolman Derek Chauvin did to kill George Floyd.
Pharoah goes on to talk about his suburban upbringing and his personal introduction to experiencing racism first-hand in America. He recently went on The Talk and explained the incident in detail. Here’s some of what he said:
“I see a gun from my peripheral and I look and the officer is like, ‘Freeze – get on the ground,’ and I’m like ‘Oh snap’…” Pharoah said he was ordered to drop to the ground and “spread your arms like an airplane.”
“Three more officers drove up … it’s hot, corona is definitely something to be worried about, the police officers didn’t have on gloves, they didn’t have on masks … When they put me in cuffs, after they were all on me, an officer put his knee on my neck.”
