He said Floyd was 'tortured' in the final moments of his life.
An attorney for the Floyd family said Wednesday afternoon that George Floyd was “tortured” in the last minutes of his life, calling for arrests of the three remaining officers allegedly involved in Floyd’s death prior to his memorial tomorrow.“We expect all the police officers to be arrested before we have the memorial tomorrow,” said Ben Crump an attorney for the Floyd family on Wednesday at the memorial site for Floyd at the location of his death in Minneapolis.
“We come here today to this spot to remember George Floyd, who was tortured in the last 8 minutes and 46 seconds of his life,” said Crump to a crowd of demonstrators and members of the media. “I appreciate everyone showing their support and love...This is so emotional,” said Quincy Mason Floyd, George Floyd’s son. “This can’t happen to anybody else.”
“Understand this is a young man who is brokenhearted and this very emotional for him,” said Crump about Floyd’s son before he took the microphone. “The ambulance that came to pick him up was a hearse for George Floyd,” said Crump. “He died because he was starving for air; he needed a breathe.”
