Natalie Portman has opened up about her initial reaction to the Defund The Police movement in America, and admits to feeling ‘fear’ about the idea. Following the horrific death of George Floyd during an arrest last month, a campaign against the authorities on a local and state level has gathered momentum, with Black Lives Matter supporters calling for cuts to police budgets to invest the money into communities of colour.
Star Wars actress Natalie admits she was initially cautious about the movement due to her having ‘white privilege’ which means she’s less likely to be subjected to police brutality.
However she has now thrown her weight behind the #DefundThePolice campaign, aligning herself with the black community. Sharing her thoughts in.
