Cole Sprouse was arrested on Sunday during the Black Lives Matter protest in Santa Monica, Calif.

The “Riverdale” actor, 27, described his experience via Instagram on Monday, writing: “A group of peaceful protesters, myself included, were arrested yesterday in Santa Monica.

So before the voracious horde of media sensationalism decides to somehow turn it about me, there’s a clear need to speak about the circumstances: Black Lives Matter.

The media is by nature only going to show the most sensational, which only proves a long standing racist agenda.”.

He then described how he was detained “when standing in solidarity” and was given the option to leave or face arrest.

I noticed that there are cameras that roll within the police cruisers during the entirety of our detainment, hope it helps.”.

Sprouse is one of the many celebrities protesting in response to the death of George Floyd while in police custody.

Singer Madison Beer documented her experience protesting in Santa Monica, sharing that she was tear-gassed on Sunday.

Halsey said that she was hit by police pellets and was “gassed” in Los Angeles, while John Cusack said police came at him with batons in Chicago.
