ESPN reporter Mark Jones says he does not want a police escort because he does not want to get shot in the back. Pretty interesting statement for a play-by-play commentator.
This week the Army will take on number 16 Cincinnati and ESPN’s college football play-by-play announcer Mark Jones was very clear in a tweet that he does not want an officer assigned to escort him.
His response was pretty wild because he said he does not want to get shot in the back.
Saturday at my football game I’ll tell the police officer on duty to “protect” me he can just take the day off. Fr.
I’d rather not have the officer shoot me because he feared for his life because of my black skin or other dumb ish.
Jones, who has worked at ESPN since 1990, had also condemned the police Wednesday in another tweet, writing:
Police never saved me.Never helped me.Never protected me.Never taken a bullet for me. (They’ve pulled guns on me) Never kept me safe in a protest. Never stopped the racist from taking my Black Lives Matter flag off my house. I could do without em. fr. #BreonnaTaylor. #Defund12
