Well, George Floyds brother went to washington today with a simple message stop the pain. He delivered that message in a historic hearing of the House Judiciary Committee which is now considering the most comprehensive Police Reform legislation ever introduced to congress. He described the pain that he is now trying to stop other families from feeling, but he knows the pain will be with him for the rest of his life. Floyd described what its been like for him and what its been like for the rest of George Floyds family to watch his big brother murdered on video with a police knee on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. I just think about that video over and over again. Felt like 8 hours and 46 minutes. Hurt seeing my brother plea for his life, watching that officer just put his knee on his neck. Just every day just looking at him, being like anywhere, thats all people talk about. The rest of my life thats all ill ever see somebody. Just look at the video. Kids have to watch the video.
And this was the scene in washington, d. C. , where George Floyds younger brother joined protesters walking down, marching down black lives matter plaza. They chanted fists in the sky, get em up, raise em high. That peaceful protest today came just a few short hours after Philonise Floyd made an emotional appeal to lawmakers. In gutwrenching testimony, he called the killing of his brother a modernday lynching and he urged those in congress to act on Police Reform so that his brother George Perry Floyd jr. s death would not be in vain. The man who took his life, who suffocated him for eight minutes and 46 seconds, he still called him sir as he begged for his life. I cant tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch Something Like that. When you watch your big brother, who you looked up to your whole entire life die . Die begging for his mom . Im tired. Im tired of pain. Pain you feel when you watch Something Like that. When you watch your big brother, who you looked up to for your
