Golden Globe nominee John Cusack witnessed police brutality first-hand in Chicago on Saturday night during a protest for the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last Monday.

At first, the 53-year-old Illinois native - who concealed his identity with a COVID-19 face mask - spoke to several cops, whom he said 'understood the rage' of 'furious' protesters.

An hour later, John tweeted that he was 'hit with pepper spray' but defended law enforcement for 'not escalating violence compared to other cities.'

But by 8:46pm, Cusack posted a video of cops 'coming at me with batons' and hitting his bicycle for 'filming a burning car.'

The Distorted actor - who boasts 2M Instagram/Twitter followers - quoted President Trump's slogan in a video: 'This is making America great again. Is the dream accomplished? Is America great?'

Late into the night, John shared videos of looters breaking into Sally's Beauty Supply and Whole Foods.

nothing the looters and rioter are doing falls into the ‘making america great’ category.

they are exploitative terrorsit thugs and need to be brought down

soros and clintons and obamas need to be brought to justice for funding this crap.

brick piles being dumped before hand and people,yelling at rioters/looters that bricks were placed there for them, isn’t just spontaneous happenings, its planned and deliberate terrorism coordination and conspiracy

How much do you think he was paid to appear at the riot/protest and post it to his twitter?

That’ll teach the guy not to attend a riot without his celebrity privilege t-shirt or his entitled person ID courtesy card.

I wish the little terrorist would have been shot. I HATE these vermin. HATE THEM.

I want to see some serious violence against the antifa terrorists.
