Brooke Williams, the niece of George Floyd, demanded justice for her uncle, whom many knew as Perry.
“As long as I’m breathing, justice will be served for Perry,” she said.
Williams said that none of the four officers on the scene when Floyd was killed showed “heart or soul.”
“That officer showed no remorse while watching my uncle’s soul leave his body. He begged and pleaded many times just for you to get up, but you just pushed harder. Why must the system be corrupt and broken?” she asked.
“No more hate crimes, please,” she said. “Someone said ‘Make America Great Again,” but when has America ever been great?”
