A few police members stand over them, and Jones can be seen holding his hand up as if to protect his girlfriend. The video moves away from the couple for a moment, but when it focuses back on them on the ground, Thomas looks to be crying and in pain as tear gas is set off down the street. A few people crowd around the couple on the ground towards the end of the video.
