“That’s Not Going to Bring My Brother Back”: George Floyd’s Brother Makes Tearful Plea at the Site of George’s Murder

Terrence went on to explain that though his family is grieved, they are choosing to go about this situation peacefully, and he pleaded that everyone else do the same.

“My family is a peaceful family. My family is God-fearing,” he continued. “Yeah we’re upset, but we’re not gonna be repetitious. In every case of police brutality, the same thing has been happening.”

“Y’all protest; y’all destroy stuff, and they don’t move. You know why they don’t move? Because it’s not their stuff. It’s our stuff, so they want us to destroy our stuff. So let’s do this another way.”

Terrence shared that the right way to respond to this heinous crime is to both educate ourselves and use our voices to vote.

“Let’s stop thinking that our voice don’t matter and vote,” he said. “Not just for the president, but vote for the preliminaries. Vote for everybody. Educate yourself. Don’t wait for somebody else to tell you who’s who. Educate yourself and know who you’re voting for.”

Once again, Terrence begged that the masses shift gears and “do this peacefully.”

He explained that these acts of violence are not what George would’ve wanted:

“I know he would not want y’all to be doing this,” said Terrence.

Finally, he went on to lead a chant with the crowd, crying out “Peace on the left, justice on the right,” as if to say both must go hand in hand.
