This article talked specifically about Brown's feelings and what was going through his head at the time of the prank. ""My fear was, 'Who's gonna come to our rescue right now?'" said Brown. "How is it gonna happen, because I'm terrified of what [Henry's] gonna do when he sees me, when he sees Tan. Brown "felt scared," despite the fact that there were producers nearby. "It speaks to the fact that no matter how I identify, me being a black man always comes first," said Brown." This is a quote from the article that shows that Brown knows that people think of him as a black man first before anything else and how he felt scared when the officer came up to the window. It also shows his compassion when he talks about how he thought of Tan as well during the incident. ""I'm also hoping that people of color will take a moment just to say, 'You know what? I know that I have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and I feel triggered in these moments, but maybe there's an opportunity that maybe this one will be someone that's good,'" continued Brown. "Because that's what it did for me, and that's what it did for Cory."" This quote shows what he was hoping to accomplish from this scene and how this interaction will effect people viewing. Continuing with that idea Brown adds ""I'm so thankful that they didn't pull me away because that would have been a disservice to the show, and to our experience as people of color." Brown continued,"It would have been easy to whitewash it, and put the white guy in the front seat and then everything's peachy keen. Like, oh, look, this is all fun and games. But instead there's a more powerful moment, and that's a risk, but I respect the fact that they allowed that risk to happen because, again, it played out in such an extremely powerful way."" I couldn't agree with him more.
