'If you got a chance to know him, you would have loved him,' George Floyd’s brother Rodney said on MSNBC. 'You can't name someone that never had a great experience around him.'
"I mean, he had a great understanding of life and [he was a] great people person — walk in a room and absorb the whole room," Floyd said."He was an all-around man, and good to his family, kids, mother, brothers, friends. He would help anyone who needed help."
Video of the Monday night incident showed a white police officer with his knee on Floyd's neck as Floyd pleaded,"Please, please, please, I can't breathe."
