There are some famous athletes out there who consistently make you shake your head and say things like, “Man, what an idiot.” Sadly, UFC’s Jon “Bones” Jones is one of them.
Jones, who has been in trouble with the law way too often in recent years, was pulled over for drag racing last week in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Luckily for us, the cop was wearing a body camera and caught the conversation between Bones and himself. Here is the heated exchange:
Part of me feels like defending Jones because he claims, according to TMZ, that he simply revved his engine to acknowledge some fans at a red light, and then drove away while staying under the speed limit. I can buy that. However, when you are a man who is currently on probation for a hit-and-run conviction as Jones is, you should probably play things cool when you are pulled over.
Calling a police officer a “f–king liar” and a “pig” is definitely not playing it cool. Nor is saying, “Let me talk.” Let this be a lesson to the rest of you celebrity athletes.
