Ma of Floyd’s little girl: ‘He loved her’

The mother of George Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter broke her silence Tuesday to say his death at the hands of Minneapolis police forever changed the course of her child’s life.

She said the officers irreversibly “took” Floyd from little Gianna then got “to go home and be with their families.”

“Gianna does not have a father. He will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle.

“If there’s a problem she’s having and she needs a dad, she does not have that anymore,” Roxie Washington (inset) said through sobs.

“I’m here for my baby, and I’m here for George because I want justice for him,” Washington, who lives in Houston, said.

“I want justice for him because he was good. No matter what anybody thinks, he was good, and this is the proof,” she said, gesturing toward the little girl with a ruffled white top and two long braids down her back.

“He loved her. He loved her so much,” Washington said, recalling how Floyd jumped to attention the first time he heard Gianna cry after her birth.

She said Floyd had moved to Minneapolis without them in search of work but still supported them.

“He still took care of us. He lived here, but we still had that connection.

“He still took care of us, provided for us, living here, working,” she said.

Washington spoke Tuesday in Minneapolis alongside Atlanta-based lawyers Chris Stewart and Justin Miller.

It was May 25 that Floyd died during a daylight arrest amid the investigation of a nonviolent crime.
