Terrence Floyd, the younger brother of George Floyd, condemned the rioting that’s happening nationwide.
Floyd spoke with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, and described his brother as “a gentle giant” who “was about peace” and a “motivator” who “always saw the lighter, the brighter side of things.”
He added that the riots and violent protests are “overshadowing” his brother’s memory. “They may call it unity, but it’s destructive unity.” Terrence explained that his brother “would want us to seek justice” but would want people to channel their anger “another way.”
“It’s OK to be angry, but channel your anger to do something positive or make a change another way because we’ve been down this road already.”
“The anger, damaging your hometown is not the way he’d want,” he added.
Rioters using George Floyd’s death as an excuse to riot and loot need to stop. They are not honoring George Floyd.
