00:00The world knows him as George, but I call him Perry.

00:05Yesterday we laid him to rest.

00:08It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

00:12I'm the big brother now.

00:15So it's my job to comfort my brothers and my sisters.

00:19And me being the big brother now is why I'm here today.

00:24To do what Perry always would have done.

00:29To take care of the family and others.

00:32I couldn't take care of George that day he was killed,

00:35but maybe by speaking with you today,

00:39I can make sure that his death would not be in vain.

00:44To make sure that he is more than another face on a T-shirt,

00:49more than another name on a list that won't stop growing.

00:54He called all the officers, sir.

00:58He was mild-mannered. He didn't fight back.

01:02He listened to all the officers.

01:05The man who took his life, who suffocated him for eight minutes and 46 seconds,

01:12he still called them, sir, as he begged for his life.

01:17I can't tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch something like that.

01:23When you watch your big brother who you looked up to your whole entire life die,

01:28die begging for his mom.

01:31I'm tired. I'm tired of pain.

01:34Pain you feel when you watch something like that.

01:37When you watch your big brother who you looked up to for your whole life die,

01:41die begging for his mom.

01:46I'm here to ask you to make it stop.

01:49Stop the pain.

01:51Stop us from being tired.

01:53People of all backgrounds, genders and races have come together to demand change.

02:00Honor them. Honor George.

02:03And make the necessary changes that make law enforcement the solution and not the problem.

02:11Hold them accountable when they do something wrong.

02:16Teach them what it means to treat people with empathy and respect.

02:21Teach them what necessary force is.

02:24Teach them that deadly force should be used rarely and only when life is at risk.

02:30George wasn't hurting anyone that day.

02:33He didn't deserve to die over $20.

02:36I'm asking you, is that what a black man is worth?

02:42$20? This is 2020.

02:46Enough is enough.

02:48The people marching in the streets are telling you enough is enough.

02:52By the leaders that in our country the world needs the right thing.

02:57The people elected you to speak for them, to make positive change.

03:01George's name means something.

03:03You have the opportunity here today to make your names mean something too.

03:09If his death ends up changing the world for the better, and I think it will, then he died as he lived.

03:22It is on you to make sure his death is not in vain.

03:28But I know he's looking down at us now.

03:32Perry, look up at what you did.

03:36Big brother, you changed the world.

03:39Thank you for everything.

03:41For taking care of us when we were on Earth, for taking care of us now.

03:44I hope you find mama and you can rest in peace with power.

03:48Thank you.
