Orlando Jones is putting a new spin on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Instead of pouring ice water over his head, he wants to pour shell casings. It is an act of symbolism to reflect the recent events involving law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri. The Sleepy Hollow actor, who is an NRA member, plans to donate $100 to the ALS Association and take part in the challenge.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is an activity where people are filmed dumping a bucket of ice water over themselves. This is done to raise donation and awareness for amyotropic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease. The movement has grown with social media, and a large number of celebrities have participated, including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman, and Justin Timberlake. It has spread to become a phenomenon in popular culture.

Jones wants to do this challenge, but with a twist. A few weeks ago, police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed African American teenager on a street. It set off a tide of protests that turned into rioting. The unrest became so big the National Guard was called in to bring about order. The ordeal raised debate about the militarization of police and racial tensions in the area. Jones commented the actions were “akin to a war zone.”

Deeply concerned about the conflicts in Ferguson, Jones wants to pour shell casings to bring awareness to the brutality. “To listen without prejudice. To love without limits and to reverse the hate.” Having dealt with racism and been active in a police force, he calls for a better way. The controversy in Ferguson has not gone away, with questions raised about the consequences of the community and its law enforcement. Jones is making a powerful statement with his challenge, and it has gotten attention on social media.
