Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
actor
Samuel
L.
Jackson
admits
that
he
has
been
a
victim
of
racist
cops,
and
his
personal
experience
has
helped
him
prepare
for
his
role
in
a
new
film.
In
an
interview
to
The
Times,
'Pulp
Fiction'
star
said
that
his
personal
confrontations
have
helped
him
play
the
part
of
bigoted
policeman
Abel
Turner
in
the
film.
"I
drew
on
cops
in
my
life
who
are
like
Abel.
I
have
been
pulled
over
legitimately
because
I
was
doing
something
wrong,
and
I
been
pulled
over
because
I
was
black
in
the
wrong
place
and
my
car
was
too
nice," Contactmusic
quoted
him,
as
saying.
"I
have
been
pulled
over
in
Mississippi;
that
was
frightening.
But
the
guy
was
like,
''Hey
Mr
Jackson,
sorry''.
I
have
been
pulled
out
and
spread
out
in
the
middle
of
the
street
and
laid
face
down.
"Even
in
L.A.
cops
looking
at
me
going:
''You
look
familiar.'' And
you
just
gotta
say
''Oh,
OK''.
Because
you
don''t
know
if
he's
talking
about
a
wanted
poster
that
he
saw
today
or
he
actually
saw
a
movie
of
mine
and
can''t
quite
put
that
together,"
he
added
