John Cusack films police confrontation says he was pepper sprayed during Chicago protests (via toofab)

Cusack was out with protesters for hours on Saturday, filming the peaceful protests through the daylight hours and even sticking with it as things grew more tense and violent once darkness fell.

He also shared and retweeted stories and video from others at protests across the nation, admitting that he obviously isn't capturing the whole story."Just reporting what I have personally seen today," Cusack acknowledged in one tweet."I obviously don’t have a full picture." But the picture he did have certainly captured enough to get a picture of the growing unrest sweeping the nation even as the man, former officer Derek Chauvin, who held his knee on 46-year-old George Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, long after he'd passed out after pleading and saying,"I can't breathe.

Chicago is just one of more than two dozen cities to have enacted curfews amid daily and ongoing civil unrest in the wake of Floyd's killing. That hasn't stopped passionate protesters from taking their outrage to the streets, whether peacefully or in escalating violence such as the burning of a police precinct in Minneapolis and police car fires in multiple cities.

John Cusack shares video, says police came at him with batons during Chicago protests'Cops didn't like me filming the burning car so they came at me with batons. Hitting my bike,' the actor wrote on Twitter. I left this tool-bag back in 2012. I’m quite positive Chicago PD wasn’t in a position to notice a “celebrity” as they are literally being dragged through the streets. Good! Did he get a deserved beating for helping incite violence?

Exclusive 'Urban Cowboy' Deleted Scene Stars a Young John Travolta40 years after its initial release, ET has an exclusive deleted scene from the John Travolta movie 'Urban Cowboy.' Why? This was a horrible movie when it was released 40 years ago. The only reason it was even made was due to the popularity of John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino on Welcome Back Kotter. The move sucked!
