Stanley Tucci added: “I will no longer allow an unchecked moment, I will no longer allow racist hurtful words, jokes, stereotypes, no matter how big or small, to be uttered in my presence.”

Paul was shown with praying hands in his face, an stated, “Killer cops must be prosecuted, they are murderers!” he says.
