During the 'Black Lives Matter' protest, the YouTube star and his friends are filming at a mall in Arizona and one of his friends was caught on camera stealing liquor.

AceShowbiz - Jake Paul and his minions were seemingly caught red-handed looting in Arizona. While people gathered downtown to protest against racial injustice following George Floyd's death, the YouTuber and his pals were at Scottsdale fashion square with their cameras.

Jake and his group were shooting fireworks at the mall and following the crowd who were destroying properties and ransacking stores. At one point, one of his friends was seen picking up a bottle of vodka from PF Chang's and then handing it to the internet star.

However, Jake vehemently denied it. "To be absolutely clear, neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism. For context, we spent the day doing our part to peaceful protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen, which led to us being tear-gassed for filming the events and brutality that were unfolding in Arizona," he claimed.

"We were gassed and forced to keep moving on foot. We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more attention to the anger felt in every neighborhood we traveled through; we were strictly documenting, not engaging."

"I do not condone violence, looting, or breaking the law; however, I understand the anger and frustration that led to the destruction we witnessed and while it's not the answer, it's important that people see it and collectively figure out how to move forward in a healthy way. We are all doing the best we can to be helpful and raise awareness; this is not the time to attack each other, it's time to join together and evolve."

Many, however, didn't buy his explanation. "Sooooo what about the alcohol you guys looted from @PFChangs," one wrote. Another commented, "You walked around filming them excitedly saying 's** is going down, s**t is going down' with a vlog camera. Jake you are like a parody of a dumb privileged white kid except you're somehow a real person."
