New York

The daughter of a man killed by police 42 years ago has spoken about the lasting trauma her family endured and the parallels she sees with the family of George Floyd. She described the emotional impact of her father's death, including ongoing anxiety and panic attacks, and the challenges her family faced in the aftermath. 

She expressed concern for George Floyd's daughter, Gianna, urging her to seek support and not suffer in silence as she did. The woman also criticized the lack of accountability for the officers involved in her father's death, highlighting the need for meaningful reforms and support for affected families.

Daughter of man killed by police 42 years ago: ‘I was Gianna Floyd’

I want to ask you about the first time that you saw the video of George Floyd. When I seen that video, I just cried, and I cried because I heard he had a daughter and I never want any child to experience what Lolisa, the eight-year-old little girl, had to experience. Look at this guy. Yeah. This is him. Look at that smile. Yeah. He was around the corner fighting for his life while we were here. They crushed his windpipe. Do you understand the force that you have to put on someone's windpipe to crush it? And that's what they did. This is my brother, Arthur III. This is my mom, Florence Miller, and this is me in the march and protest. Tell me about eight-year-old Lolisa. I lived my life in fear for a very, very long time, and because of it, it caused me to have anxiety, panic attacks. Up until my mother transitioning over to her next life eight and a half months ago, if I couldn't contact her, I would go into a full-blown panic attack because everything from that day would replay in my head. What did the police take from you that day? My life. My family's life. When they killed my father, they killed my brother. When they were lowering my father's casket six feet under, my brother tried to jump with the casket. He didn't want to live anymore. They ruined our family. They ruined the community. What do you want? I can't breathe. Please, in the name of the... I can't breathe, sir. At the end of the day, they get to go home and be with their families. She does not have a father. What's going to happen to her? What's going to happen to her? No one knows how she's going to digest all of this. No one knows how this is going to impact her later because no one knew what I was going through. I snuffed it in silence. I didn't tell my siblings. I didn't tell my mom. When I would go in my room alone, I would cry. I was so afraid. What would your message to Gianna be? She has to talk to someone because I didn't. And I think that's a part of the reason that I have suffered so long with the panic attacks and anxiety because I didn't want to tell anyone. I'm hoping that this isn't going to be one of those times where when the lights go off and the cameras go off and they give us a little reform here or, you know, something to make us go away, I hope we don't go away. For 42 years, they got a slap on the wrist and they were able to retire with their pensions. They were put on leave with pay. So they were still getting paid and we're paying that. We're the taxpayers. So we are literally paying them to slaughter us. They need to be stripped of everything. I was stripped of my life. When I got married, my mother walked me down the aisle. When my sister Roslyn got married, her brother Kevin walked her down the aisle. That was supposed to be our dad. And I walked across that stage and got my graduate degree. He wasn't at any of those ceremonies. I know he would have been the loudest thing in the building. I saw other girls when they came off the stage and the love you could see in those fathers' faces and how proud they were of their little girls. My mom was there. She was there full force and my sister Valley was there full force and I know they were super proud of me. But I wanted my dad. I wanted my dad.
