IIRC this happened to Michael K. Williams where he was at a restaurant with friends and the police came in and started harassing them, “looking for a suspect.” Then one of the officers recognized Williams. They all of a sudden dropped their investigation, wanting autographs and selfies. Williams was like “Oh no, no, no motherfuckers let’s go back to what you’re doing here in the first place and just harassing the first group of black people you see.”

The cops were reprimanded for harassing a celebrity with a verbal warning or someshit, with no investigations about racial profiling and harassment.
