A GoFundMe page started by the sister of George Floyd has raised nearly $9.5 million.
“On May 25, 2020, my life shattered as I learned of the tragic passing of my dear brother, George,” Floyd’s sibling, Philonise Floyd, wrote on the page, which was created five days ago.
“My family and I watched in absolute horror as the now infamous and horrifying video began to spread quickly throughout social media. What we saw on that tape left us shell shocked; a white Minneapolis police officer kneeling directly on my brother’s neck, obstructing his ability to breathe.
“As some officers knelt on his neck, other officers participated and watched; no one took any action to save my brother’s life. Those officers would continue to brutalize my brother until he died,” she wrote.
“This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George,” the sister said. “A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.”
The page’s goal of $1.5 million was easily surpassed thanks to 366,000 donors who contributed a total of $9,496,420 as of early Tuesday afternoon.

Let’s see if the family will donate some of their extra money to help those who suffered financial and/or physical loss in the hands of those “protecting” the legacy of George.
I do feel bad about a wrongful death and I mean in no way that the family caused this mayhem, but if they would make a public donation to help people out, it would show something bigger than the rest of the protesters.
Floyd made his biggest score, dead.
