Unsurprisingly, something that Jon Jones posted on social media has been garnering a lot of attention.
Arguably the greatest MMA fighter on planet Earth hit the headlines earlier this year after a video of his confrontation with a police officer went viral. Jones maintained that he wasn’t drag racing, and the cop was in the wrong for pulling him over.
After reports emerged that the officer has received several complaints of racial profiling, Jones couldn’t resist responding on Instagram. We’ve learned from the past that Bones has a tendency to delete his posts on social media, so rather than embed it here, we’ve transcribed it and made it all paragraphy and shit. Enjoy.
“Officer Brown all over the news in Albuquerque after reporters dig up how many times he has been in trouble for racial profiling in the past.”
“Being a father of biracial children, I’m definitely not one to pull the race card. At the same time, I’m not necessarily surprised about this discovery after the run in I had with him.”
“Having him stand there, look me in the eyes and start accusing me of several things him and I both know I didn’t do made me feel let down by the community, made me feel powerless, he made me feel like what was actually true had no power over him. Now it’s easier for me to understand why so many people hold resentment towards law enforcement. Officer brown almost single-handedly ruined my trust in law-enforcement.”
“The sad thing about it is, I actually went to school for criminal justice, I wanted to be an officer myself. Fortunately I know better than to let one person ruin my views of a whole group. Just glad people are finally bringing light to who I was dealing with that night.”
