Black Londoner explains George Floyd protester support with story of how cops murdered his brother
It resonates, he replied. 400 years weve been having to deal with this and were still being lynched and murdered today.
My brother was shot and killed by the police in this country, he recalled. He was shot four times in his back and the policemens evidence when he stood up in court was that my brother was facing him the courts accepted that evidence.

To highlight this injustice cannot continue, he exclaimed. I believe that this is this is a different assault, this is a different murder and we can see the protests going on around the world. We have just had enough. Everybody has had enough of these live lynchings. Look at the CNN reporter that got arrested, live on television, where everybody saw exactly what happened.
