That cop baited him IMO. I know they can say whatever they want but when you think about it, a referee would be suspended for that.
But yea he sounded under the influence of something... Stretching out his words and "drag ricing"Comment -
This kind of thinking is why we have such a problem in ghettos across America. People that try to make all cops out to be this bad corrupt agency out to ruin your life. So when shootings happen everyday no one talks to the cops and the thugs who just gunned down their family get away Scott free and then the cycle repeats itself. All because those people hold a grudge against some policeman years before where they didn't feel they were treated fairly.
If you go through life judging a whole group of individuals based on a run in with 1 of them you are going to live a sad life especially if the majority of those people just want to help.Comment -
Now you guys know why DC hates Jon Jones.. JJ has a short fuse and a loose tongue..
Cop was just doing his job and he saw what he saw.. Jon Jones was just pissed he got caught.. He should have kept his mouth shut and signed the ticket.. He did look wasted as well, on something.....Comment -
Jon Jones Arrested for Probation Violation
Jon Jones was booked in New Mexico for violating his probation moments ago -- and posed for a brand new mug shot after turning himself in ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We're told a judge had issued a warrant for the UFC star's arrest for violating the terms of his probation after he was cited for drag racing in Albuquerque last week.
Jones was sentenced to probation last year after being convicted in a hit and run case in which the UFC star crashed into a pregnant woman's car and then ran from the scene on foot.Comment -
Personally my 5-year old son looks up to policemen, firefighters, teachers, and other such professionals.
I never want him to have hatred toward them...sure they are not right all the time, and sometimes abuse their authority, but they're human. I'm not condoning some of the tragic incidents the last couple years, but in general these guys are to be respected.
The moment you disrespect them, that's when you get dissed the same. It's a rough business and I can't say I'd have a lot of patience in certain instances having been a high school teacher. It's not a cop's job to be "polite" and you just can't be with some people like this knucklehead.Comment -
Not if he's in jail..
He won't even be able to show up for the fight if he has to do time and can't get granted bail.. Maybe he knew this when the police officer was citing him and that's why he blew up..
Breaking probation usually gets you sent to the slammer for the normal Joe, we'll see..Comment -

Under you gamble in US, man.
Some laws are antiquated and should be done away with.
The legal system should evolve with the will of the people. While I do not disagree with what you are trying to say, generalizing that all laws are just and everyone who breaks them is a scumbag criminal is a dangerous generalization. It is incomparable with the founding principles of the United States.
Every American on here who doesn't live in Vegas breaks the law in a daily basis.
Should gambling be illegal? No.
Should marijuana be illegal? Probably not.
Should gay marriage be illegal? No.
Women, native Americans and African Americans used to be deprived the right to vote. Those are bad laws that were in effect at one point.
Not all laws are good. The judiciary should be progressive and not aiming to preserve a bygone way of life.Comment -
Mo, you are bringing this to a different level. I am talking about a guy, who just hit and ran a pregnant woman, now out fuking around in another vehicle then gets mad at the cop for stopping him from causing more damage.
Whether or not laws are out of date has nothing to do with everyday people out on the streets involving themselves with officers. Point being, if you are following the law and minding your own business you won't ever even speak to a cop. If you are engaging police on a weekly or daily basis, it isn't the cops that need to reevaluate the way they live their lives you do.
Example: if I drive home from work I don't even think about seeing a cop. But when I go downtown drinking and get into my car at 1 a.m. on a Friday night, knowing I am breaking the law, now the situation is different. Now I am asking to be busted and can't get pissed and act a fool if I am arrested. But many in the same situation would become disgruntled and blame the cop for ruining their life. It's the situation a person puts on themselves that make an interaction with a cop likrly, not the other way around.Comment -
The cop never actually did say that he pulled him over for speeding or if he was speeding(which he may or may not have been) Jones didn't know what the speed limit even was, but yet he said he wasn't speeding. The cop just said that he pulled him over for drag racing. If you are at a red light revving your engine and the light turns green and you take off with your tires chirping and there is a cop behind you(or nearby), you are almost guaranteed to get pulled over regardless if you went over the speed limit or not.Comment -
I get it, if I was forced to pick, I believe Jones' account that he wasnt racing the car next to him though, just seemed more believable to me in how he reacted. He admitted to revving the engine which I see thats included for citation. Perhaps the more obvious thing was maybe he had been drinking he could have gotten anyone to unlock his car for him, seems he would have given him a sobriety test if he was driving erraticly and/or possibly endangering others by drag racing. I was pulled over a long time ago cop said I crossed yellow line 7 times total bs, it was in an area I traveled every day and was always cautious of the racist cops there, I yelled at the cop told him he was lying he seemed a bit scared and scurried back to his car and drove off. Only whites live in that rich neighborhood yet the only people you ever see pulled over are blacks who only travel the 3 mile stretch to go onto the freeway. Those other tickets he got were probably somewhat inaccurate. I have quite a bit of false pullovers and impounds so I laugh when people talk the way they do about cops in a positive sense.Comment -
Jones also got cited for weaving in and out of traffic. Now this also happened in a 35 mph zone.
It's hard to believe anything that Jones says after all of his recent traffic violations. Hell, back in January he got pulled over for doing 75 in a 35.Comment -
Is using launch control considered reckless driving???
What is point of owning fast car if you can't at the very least launch it.
King of disappointed to see a guy that rich driving a VetteComment -
Yep, I got pulled over for that exact same thing.. Told the officer I was testing out some mods I had just installed and was excited about the off the line power and I was being stupid.. That was partly the truth... I did peel out big time from the stop light and then quickly slowed down, next thing I know I got lit up.. I showed the officer my nitrous system on the car and he was impressed.. I was being as nice as possiblle, totally cool and appologetic the entire time with the officer and he appreciated that I think.... I also think when he ran my name thru the system and it came out squeeky clean that helped matters as well.. He let me go with a warning in the end and I was surprised myself he did that..
PEOPLE and cops -
I say kill cops with kindness and not anger and admit that you were wrong and often times they will give ya a warning, or maybe they minumise the ticket with reduced speed and what not.. I've had plenty of experience with that over the years.. Anger never helps and being nice does..
Unless it's a motor cylce cop as it doesn't matter what you do then.. They are out to write tickets period.... Atleast around my neck of the woods..Comment -
These guys make millions. Why do they drive? Can't afford a chauffeur? Do you see Donald Trump ever driving? No! He is sitting at the back of the limo getting lit up before the debates.Comment
notice how 99.9% of people that hate cops are always the ones that are repeat offenders? I have a suggestion: having trouble with the cops? Try not breaking the law and see if that helps
