TL;DR Summary

Newly unearthed surveillance footage shows reinstated Tennessee lawmaker Justin Jones hitting a driver with a traffic cone during a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest outside the state capitol. Jones was expelled from his position for leading a gun control protest on the House floor following the Covenant School shooting that left six dead, but was reinstated days later. Jones has continued his activism as an elected official and faced charges after District Attorney Glenn Funk secretly went to the grand jury in an attempt to indict him for participating in the protests in an 'aggravating' manner.
