Jack Harlow is calling for the firing of a police officer after a video appeared to show the officer putting his hand around a woman’s neck outside of the star’s concert.
A post shared by Jack Harlow
“This video came to my attention a few hours ago. When I watched it I was disgusted by that cop and all I wanted to do was make something good happen for this girl immediately,” Harlow captioned the video. “I told the world to help me identify her so I could find a way to give her a hug and give her as many tickets to as many shows as she wants. But that’s not enough and its not a solution to a systemic issue that people who don’t look like me have to face.
“The next step is identifying this police officer and getting him unemployed as fast as we can,” the “Industry Baby” hitmaker continued in his post. “Assaulting a young woman and putting his hands on her neck is sickening. I look out in the crowd every night and see black women in my front row…screaming my lyrics, traveling to see me, supporting me, riding for me. I want this woman, and every black woman that supports me to know – I am so sorry.
Harlow has been very vocal about supporting the Black community while knowing his place as “a white man in a Black genre,” the Grammy-nominated rapperin a recent interview. “There is a certain reality that I am white, and I think there will always be something attached to that. No matter how embraced I am, there will never be a day that I’m Black.
The 23-year-old Louisville, Ky., native participated in protests in his hometown following the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT who was fatally shot by Louisville police while she was sleeping in her home on March 13, 2020. “It was a no-brainer for me in terms of where I stood on the topic. There was a moment last summer when we were all marching through the city and there was this feeling that this is historic,” he told.
