Although the last time he met his father was when he was a little boy, Floyd couldn't stop the emotions that had engulfed him since his father's death and the wave of protests he had drawn. "When the reports of the case began to spread in the media, I did not identify who it was until my mother called me and told me it was my father. It had been two since we last met."

Mason Floyd, who came with his sister to the rally, praised the local protesters for the existence of quiet protests and denounced the violence that is taking place in demonstrations in other cities. "Demolishing things will not solve anything. Violence is not the solution.
"All the support we receive from community members in our city is the right way, and that's what helps my brother cope with all the loss," shared Connie Mason, Quincy's sister. The two shared that Floyd's funeral will be held in the city of Houston, but the date is unknown. At protests throughout Texas tonight, more than 70 protesters were arrested, local police said.

"Floyd's death - our responsibility"
Minneapolis Police Chief Madria Ardondo responded in a television interview to CNN that the four police officers involved in Floyd's death took responsibility for the actions. "George Floyd died by us, so I see the issue as even more complex. It might be that if one voice intervened, we would be somewhere else today." Ardondo's response came in a joint interview with Floyd's family yesterday, after the killer's brother asked the Minneapolis Police Chief what he would do to obtain justice on the matter.
"It was not human. There are absolute statements in life like the work we need to breathe. George's death was an absolute truth that it was improper." Ardondo added that he made the decision to fire those involved quickly. "I did not need days, weeks or bureaucratic processes to understand that what happened last Monday should not have happened."
Derek Chauvin, the trooper documented kneeling on Floyd's neck, is scheduled to appear in a Minneapolis court hearing tomorrow. As mentioned last Friday, Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, two offenses of which intent is one of the key elements.
According to Minnesota state law, third-degree murder is defined as the cause of a person's death "by committing a dangerous and thought-provoking act" and first-degree manslaughter is a condition where "a person consciously takes the risk of causing death or bodily harm to another person."
