Retired NBA player Stephen Jackson is one of the many people incensed over the death of George Floyd, who died on Monday, May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes.

Jackson reportedly spent his childhood with Floyd in Houston, Texas, and they remained friends into adulthood calling each other “twin,” Jackson added in a May 26 Instagram post.

“Floyd was my brother, man” he began.

Jackson also posted several photos of Floyd.

A witness named Darnella Frazier filmed Chauvin with his knee pressed into Floyd’s neck, while others pleaded with him to stop.
