George Floyd’s Brother Testifies in
House Police Brutality Hearing.
Philonise Floyd appeared before Congress to
emphasize the need for reforms that will hold police

George called for help, and he was ignored. Please listen to the call I’m making to you now, to the calls of our family, and the calls ringing out in the streets across the world, Philonise Floyd, via committee hearing.
The House Judiciary Committee hearing will examine
“racial profiling, police brutality and lost trust between
police departments and the communities they serve.”.
Attorney Benjamin Crump also spoke, saying America
has “two systems of justice, one for white Americans,
and another for black Americans.”.
Democratic leaders introduced a police reform package on Monday, which would ban police chokeholds and require states to gather data on police misconduct
