Former NBA Player Stephen Jackson Mourns Death of George Floyd: ‘My Twin’
Like many, former NBA player
Stephen Jackson spent Tuesday mourning the loss of George Floyd. As we previously reported, Floyd was killed after being detained by cops on suspicion of forgery. Officers initially claimed that he resisted arrest, which is why the y pinned him to the ground. But that reason turned out to be a lie.
The arresting officer can be seen in the clip kneeling on Floyd’s neck, cutting off his airway until he completely loses consciousness. Floyd was later pronounced dead at an area hospital. Jackson, who actually knew Floyd, looked back on the moments he spent with him. Jackson says he spent his childhood in the same Houston, Texas circles as Floyd and claims the two were so close, he had just sent the guy clothes days before his death this week. He’s also now demanding justice for the 46-year-old after officer killed him Monday.
“Floyd was my brother,” Jackson said. “We called each other twins, bruh. Everybody knows me and Floyd called each other twins. My brother was only out there in Minnesota, he was trying to change his life.”
The 42-year-old says he’s now on his way to Minnesota and he’s promising to help find justice for Floyd.
“I can’t let this ride, dawg,” Jackson said. “Ya’ll not going to be mad until it hits ya’ll front door. Bullsh*t.”
