George Floyd’s brother Philonise spoke out against the growing movement to defund the police on Sunday, telling Fox News’ Arthel Neville that officers can do their jobs « and still maintain respect for others. »
« What I would like is for all police around America to get their jobs and do them the right way, the correct way. Innocent people shouldn’t have to die, » Philonise Floyd said on « America’s News HQ. » « You can do your job and still maintain respect for others. »
Floyd’s comments came amid growing calls to weaken law enforcement in the wake of his brother’s May 25 death. As violent protests erupted across the nation, the Black Lives Matter movement announced a « call for a national defunding of police, » which has gained support among notable Democrats and celebrities.
