Internet Reacts To ESPN Announcer Mark Jones’ Meltdown Over Cops Shooting Him Because of His ‘Black Skin’ (TWEETS)

There have been a lot of anger over the decision that none of the three officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death were charged with her killing. Outrage and heartbreak boiled over into protests in cities across the US on Wednesday after news broke, while others took to social media to vent their frustrations.

That included ESPN NBA announcer Mark Jones who took to Twitter and threw out a flurry of tweets aimed at police.

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

My friend and I were together when he caught a white guy breaking into his car. He subdued the crook.Cops came and fought my friend thinking HE was the crook.
If Nazi’s jumped me they’d arrest me..not their own.Police protect Nazis/KKK and arrest peaceful protesters.DontNeedCops https://t.co/thQxtorFBc

My late Uncle Lawrence?? was the first police officer on the force in Toronto?First ever

He’d told me countless amounts of stories of racist police in his own police force he’s dealt with. Racial epithets he heard in and out of uniform. Brazen nasty ish. #DefundThePolice

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.

I’m not signing my own death certificate?
