Lots of work to do out in the streets today men. If you’re a real one, call your boys and get to work. #merica ———— pic.twitter.com/P5MC43lGmR

MMA Junkie also provided the following transcripts of what Jones said in the videos:
“All right, it’s time to put in some work. (We’ve) got a nice little crew of guys – volunteers that are going to (help out). … You guys ready to do some work? Let’s get it. Let’s see if we can find something to clean up. If you guys need help with your small businesses, we’re here. Hit us up. We’ll be here all day. Time to work.”
“I’m not really sure how this helps anything, guys. I’m all for protests. I think it’s great to protest and voice how you feel about things. It’s really important, but … this is just not right. Vandalism is just not right.”
