MORE HERE FROM THE FLOYD FAMILY:
Terrence Floyd, the younger brother of George Floyd, said he was still numb from his brothers death, which sometimes makes him angry, but hes refraining from becoming violent in part because thats not what his brother would have wanted.
The riots are overshadowing whats going on, Floyd said in an interview broadcast on ABCs Good Morning America early Monday.
He was about peace, he was about unity, but the things that are transpiring nowthey may call it unity but its destructive unity, its not what he was about. Its not what my brother is about, Floyd said.
If youre angry, its OK to be angry, but channel your anger to do something positive or make a change another way because weve been down this road already. He would want us to seek justice the way we are, the way were trying to do, but channel it another way. The anger, damaging your hometown is not the way hed want.
Terrence Floyd said the fact Floyds family is dealing with Floyds death by being positive about it and seeking justice shows the futility of engaging in violence to try to enact change.
Why are you out here tearing up your community? Because when youre finished and turn around and want to go buy something, you done tore it up. So now you messed up your own living arrangements. So just relax. Justice will be served, he told ABC News, while calling for charges against the other three officers who were at the scene when Floyd was arrested.
kudos to him for the message
but this isnt about his brother anymore
