The brother of George Floyd, whose killing by police sparked worldwide protests against racism, made an emotional plea to the US Congress Wednesday to “stop the pain” and pass reforms that reduce police brutality. Stop the pain,” the younger Floyd said. “I can’t tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch… your big brother, who you looked up to your whole entire life, die – die begging for his mom,” he said. Meanwhile in Minneapolis, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said he was launching reforms to provide “a new paradigm of peacekeeping” for the community. The move is an apparent bid to appease the city council which recently pledged to dismantle the police force.
