L.A. Police officer speaking to a Black actor who pretended to break in to Jason Roberts’ car while Roberts filmed it. Roberts, who is White, also filmed himself breaking into the same car to demonstrate the difference in peoples’ reactions based on the race of the person attempting to break into the car. Roberts tried to break into his own car for 30 minutes and nobody bothered him. A police car even drove past at one point and did nothing. When the Black actor, Quentin Brunson, attempted to break into the car, the police were called and showed up within 2 minutes.
