Floyd, a black man, died on Memorial Day after he was pinned down by former white Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin.

Following his death, protests in Minnesota have spread to more than 20 states. Some have resulted in arrests, vandalism and destruction of property. Many cities have issued curfews in response.

\"Beautiful people still exist in this world,\" Jones said. \"We just got to love each other. We got to lean on each other. We got to listen to each other.\"

Jones said he didn't get the woman's name, but wants to thank her for giving him \"peace.\"
