'Stay in your lane': George Floyd's brother blasts conservatives for backing killer cop

Elon Musk expressed support for a presidential pardon for Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd.

The killing sparked nationwide "Black Lives Matter" protests in summer 2020 and Chauvin got concurrent sentences to decades behind bars on state and federal convictions, but conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro urged Donald Trump to pardon the former officer – to which Musk replied “something to think about" on his X social media platform.

"One thing you would say to Ben Shapiro, who floated this idea of pardoning Derek Chauvin, the man who killed your brother," CNN's Sara Sidner asked Terence Floyd, the slain man's brother.

"Stay in your lane, you know, I would just say stay in your lane," Floyd said. "You know, your opinion is your opinion, but facts is facts, and the fact is, Chauvin's knee was on my brother's neck. The fact is, he held him down there to his last breath when he shouldn't have, when he, once he seen that my brother was not responding or not even moving, complying. He should have just did what normal police officers do restrain him, cuff him, put him in the back and just do what he had to do. All of that, all of the knee on the neck – complete murder was not called for."

Floyd lamented the progress that was made after his brother's homicide seems to have reversed since Trump's election.

"Well, it kind of it kind of makes me rewind back to the speech I did in Minnesota in front of Cup Foods, when I said when things happen, people fight and at that time, they're fighting – they're fighting and they want justice, want justice," he said. "But as time goes on, they seem to get back to regularly scheduled programs, and I'm hearing a lot of people quiet a little, a lot of people backpedaling on their promises and, because this is coming up, I really want to see whether people are going to move forward or go backwards."
