As the Robert E Lee statue was removed in Richmond, Virginia on Wednesday, Black Lives Matter 757 activist JaPharii Jones ran through a barricaded area with a flag and was promptly removed by police.
While many in the crowd cheered, a handful of activists confronted Jones, who they accused of being "allies with white supremacists" for forming a coalition with the anti-government "boogaloo boys," and claimed he works with police.
