One of Floyd’s brothers — Philonise Floyd — insisted that the officers could have handled the incident in a way that wouldn’t have resulted in his brother’s death.
“They could have tased him; they could have maced him. Instead, they put their knee in his neck and just sat on him and then carried on.”
Floyd’s cousin — Tera Brown — pointed out that though law enforcement’s main job is to ensure the safety of citizens, these police officers did nothing to help her cousin.
“They were supposed to be there to serve and to protect and I didn’t see a single one of them lift a finger to do anything to help while he was begging for his life.
