George Floyd's brother says destruction 'not what he was about'

Terrence Floyd in an interview on Monday said his older brother George Floyd would not have wanted people to engage in violent protests tin his name, and warned it risked overshadowing the peaceful protests against racism in police departments.

"He would want us to seek justice the way we are, the way we're trying to do, but channel it another way," Terrence Floyd said Monday on "Good Morning America."

Ripping up, damaging your hometown is not the way he'd want," he added.

In response to a question from "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts, Terrence Floyd said he was concerned that some of the violence is taking away from the call for justice.

Obama has a good message about this, also. Same with Mayor Bottoms.

George Floyd’s brother said “he was concerned that some of the violence is taking away from the call for justice”.

No need to imply people are racist if they feel the same way the victim’s brother does.
