A public Zoom call with the Los Angeles Police Commission on Tuesday as protests continued over the death of George Floyd was inundated with furious callers and calls for police chief Michel Moore to resign after his statements on Monday that he eventually apologized for.
One of those callers was Tony Hawk. But it turns out it wasn’t THAT Tony Hawk, the skateboard legend who made headlines recently for an incredible good deed he did last month.
Although some people thought the caller sounded like Hawk, the one known for his skateboarding checked in on Twitter to inform the world that he wasn’t the one who had jumped on the meeting:

Wasn’t me… I would have spoken more clearly and asked people to support @ColorOfChange before yielding my time.
