- NBA champion Stephen Jackson on Friday said he would not allow the police to assail the character of George Floyd, a friend he called his “twin” who was killed this week by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking widespread outrage and days of protest.

“I’m here because they are not going to demean the character of George Floyd — my twin,” Jackson, who played 14 seasons in the NBA, said at a rally at the Government Center Plaza in Minneapolis. Chauvin, who along with three other police officers on the scene was fired on Tuesday, was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday.

“You can’t tell me when that man had his knee on my brother’s neck, taking his life away, with his hand in his pocket, that that smirk on his face didn’t say, ‘I’m protected.’”

George Floyd's Brother Calls For Officers To Get Death Penalty: 'They Executed My Brother'"People are torn and hurt because they’re tired of seeing Black men die," Philonise Floyd told CNN about the resulting protests in Minneapolis. Totally agree Need we remind all that Minnesota abolished its death penalty (as in the noose) in 1913 after it emerged where the rope used to hang William Williams, sentenced to death for the murder of a close friend, was too long for circumstances. Minnesota abolished the death penalty in 1911.

'They executed my brother': George Floyd's brother calls for arrests, peaceful demonstrations'I watched the video. It was hard but I had to watch the video. As I watched the video, those four officers, they executed my brother,' Philonise Floyd told CNN. 'They showed no empathy, no compassion.' I’m so sorry for your loss🙏🙏🙏 Human rights representatives, we need you there. Do something as you do in our black countries. What should be done now - a bad cop killed an man undeserving of death - should we loot?- destroy property and local business? Like Ferguson ? LA? Do 2 wrongs ever make it right? When does anarchy make for peace? Also do we loot and pillage for others who do harm? Who sell drugs?
