Floyd: Family demand justice as protesters defy city curfews

OLAYEMI WONDER

Protesters in cities such as New York and Los Angeles have continued to defy curfews but the demonstrations are calmer than recent days.

Mother of George Floyd’s daughter has made an emotional plea for justice, sobbing as she insisted he was a good man “no matter what anybody thinks.”

With her six-year-old daughter, Gianna clinging to her, Roxie Washington said she wanted all the four officers involved in Floyd’s death to pay for the killing, which has sparked fierce protests across the US and the world.

“At the end of the day, they get to go home and be with their families. Gianna doesn’t have a father,” she said.
