George Floyd's younger brother condemned the violent riots that have swept across the country following his death while in police custody.
Terrence Floyd said that he's angry and wants to "Bust some heads, too," but noted he and his family are not out rioting and discouraged others from doing so.
"Don't tear up your town, all of this is not necessary because if his own family and blood is not doing it, then why are you?" Floyd told ABC News on Sunday.
"If his own family and blood are trying to deal with it and be positive about it, and go another route to seek justice, then why are you out here tearing up your community? Because when you're finished and turn around and want to go buy something, you done tore it up. So now you messed up your own living arrangements. So just relax. Justice will be served."
Floyd told the news outlet, "I wanna ... just go crazy. But I'm here. My brother wasn't about that. My brother was about peace. You'll hear a lot of people say he was a gentle giant."
Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was fired and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after he held his knee to George Floyd's neck as Floyd pleaded, "I can't breathe."
"I want to see all of them get punished to the full extent for what they did to my brother," Terrence Floyd said of the officers involved.
