Keraun Harris, who goes by the name King Keraun, is a popular comedian on social media who’s appeared as an actor on HBO’s “Insecure” and ABC’s “Black-ish.”

On Monday, he posted a video on Twitter sharing the story of how a white woman had his back during a recent traffic stop.

“I just got pulled over, and for the first time, I watched a white woman record my whole traffic stop,” she said.

Harris was pulled over in his neighborhood for not having official license plates on his car because it was new. “As a black man you’re used to this, you always guilty until proven innocent,” he said.

“I’m just sitting in my car waiting and as I’m waiting, I look to the left and I see this car parked and it’s a white woman in the car,” he continued. The white woman had her phone out, recording Harris’ interaction with the police to ensure his safety.
