Black comedian shares important lesson in allyship after getting pulled over

A Black comedian is teaching a vital lesson after sharing his experience of getting pulled over by a police officer. Keraun Harris, an actor and internet personality, posted a video about the incident on Twitter. The 32-year-old says he was pulled over in his new car, which only had a temporary license plate. “they’re like, ‘Why don’t you got plates on your car?’ … So I tell them the story … and they’re like, ‘OK cool, we’re gonna check and make sure it’s your car, and if it is you’re free to go’”. Meanwhile, he noticed a white woman parked in her car across the street, recording Harris’ entire exchange with the officer on her phone. “I’m like, ‘What the hell is this lady doing?’ … And then it hit me … This lady is recording me because she’s scared something is gonna happen to me”. Harris said the woman was “relieved” to learn he was OK. According to his clip, she stuck around until he pulled away safely. “You know as a Black man you’re not used to your allies. But we’ve really got allies out here, recording our traffic stops and making sure we’re good”
