The killing of George Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer who kneeled directly on his neck has angered the US.
The tape that captured the event horrified Floyd's family, his brother Philonise Floyd wrote in a GoFundMe he established five days ago.
Floyd died in Minneapolis, but the family is originally from Houston. Philonise Floyd was hoping to raise $1.5 million to pay for the family's considerable legal and travel expenses as well as to help support and educate Floyd's children. Philonise Floyd says that 100% of the money collected will go to the family and that it is being managed by the family's law firm.

Will there be one for the retired “Black” cop killed by looters too?
Maybe it was “Just” black on black so “No big deal” to the left?
I wonder if the family will give some of the haul to businesses that were destroyed by rioters.
You are joking,right?
A sports bar in Minneapolis damaged in the riot has already raised a million for repairs.

Way I look at it, the more the merrier, it’s liberal money that is not being sent to Biden or other democrats election coffers.
They would not take the penny I offered.
George W. Bush’s former staff will make up the difference.
