Uncle of George Floyd appears in Boston to meet with families affected by police brutality

BOSTON, Mass. (WLNE) — George Floyd’s uncle was in Boston Wednesday demanding more change and help for families who have been impacted by police brutality.

Selwyn Jones had appeared with men who were wrongfully convicted, as well as families of people who were killed by police.

His visit came on the same day the Justice Department announced it was ending police reform agreements in Louisville and Minneapolis.

The consent decrees were reached following the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor and the death of Floyd

, who was killed by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes.

Sunday will mark the fifth anniversary of Floyd’s death.
