Philonise Floyd is speaking out four years after his brother George Floyd was killed at the hands of police. Floyd is pushing back after efforts for change in policing measures have been stalled or reversed.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was just a year into his first term when in May of 2020 a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes, spurring protests across the state and the nation. To Philonise Floyd, Walz’s compassion and dedication to ensure accountability for his older brother’s murder — and for other police brutality victims in Minnesota — is one of things that make him worthy of being the next vice president of the United States.
“At first, he was just a regular governor, just looking like a politician. Then, he stood up and he put Keith Ellison in place as the prosecutor, and that showed a lot of people he was not playing. He was serious,” Floyd said. “If it wasn’t for Gov. Walz, we would not be able to walk around and say that we got some accountability.
