UFC star Jon Jones is calling on American citizens to step up for their communities and against bad actors during the George Floyd protests.
Appearing on «Fox & Friends» with host Ainsley Earhardt, Jones said Tuesday that he had initially decided to attend one of Sunday’s peaceful protests in Albuquerque, N. M., after a teammate called him. Jones explained that his friend had told him there were mainly Hispanics and Caucasians at the protest and that the two of them should head down there to represent the African-American community.
But, according to Jones, the peaceful protest devolved into chaos as the sun set.
«And, when I get down there, the peaceful protest is over and a lot of people are just hanging around still and the vandalism started right away,» he recalled. «And, I just noticed the protesters that were leaving and going home – that no one was standing [up] for anything.
