George Floyd's brother has condemned Elon Musk and Ben Shapiro's movement to pardon killer cop Derek Chauvin.

Chauvin, the disgraced Minneapolis cop convicted of murdering George Floyd back in 2020, is currently serving concurrent state and federal sentences in a federal prison in Arizona.

Shapiro's The Daily Wire began the effort to pardon Chauvin with an open letter to Donald Trump, calling his conviction 'the defining achievement of the Woke movement in American politics.'

The letter claims that Chauvin did not murder Floyd because he was 'high on fentanyl' and 'had a significant pre-existing heart condition,' complaining of trouble breathing before the incident that ended his life. 

Musk reposted a video of Shapiro arguing for Chauvin to be pardoned by the president and commented: 'Something to think about.'

Floyd's brother, Terrance Floyd, fired back at Musk and Chauvin during an interview on CNN's News Central Thursday.

'Stay in your lane. You know, your opinion is your opinion, but facts is facts,' Floyd said. 'And the fact is, Chauvin's knee was on my brother's neck. The fact is, he held him down there to his last breath when he shouldn't have.

'Once he seen that my brother was not responding, or not even moving, complying, he should have just did what normal police officers do—restrain him, cuff him, put him in the back and just do what he have to do. All of that, all of the knee on the neck—complete murder was not called for.' 

He said the calls to pardon his brother's killer has hindered the healing process for their family. 

'It's like reinjuring an open a wound. You know, you have to go through this since 2020,' he said.

'You had to go through the whole trial of seeing his actions over and over and over again, and people claiming that it was the drugs. It was this. It wasn't Chauvin's knee on his neck. You know, we had to go through all of that, all the lies, all the all the different disgusting stuff on social media. And now to relive it, for them to bring it back up. This is the fifth year.

'We were supposed to see progress. So many people promised things, you know, especially going to go with the DEI, you know, so many things was promised to us, promised to us as a people, not just not just the black and brown people, as a people. And they're back pedaling.'

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that Trump's potential pardon wouldn't 'free' Chauvin since he's still concurrently serving a state sentence.

'The only conceivable purpose would be to express yet more disrespect for George Floyd and more disrespect for the rule of law,' Ellison told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Chauvin's anticipated release date is December 10, 2035.

Last December, Chauvin's legal team was been granted permission to examine heart tissue and fluid samples taken from the victim's body in an attempt to challenge his conviction.

US District Judge Paul Magnuson granted the motion Monday, after attorneys argued it was a heart condition that claimed the 46-year-old victim's life, and not Chauvin's knee on his neck.

The May 2020 encounter has lived in infamy since sparking swift public outcry as Floyd had been an unarmed black man accused of a non-violent crime.

The North Carolina native had been suspected of using a fake $20 bill at a local store, leading to the fatal encounter with Chauvin and three other officers.

Attempting to restrain the man, Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck and back for what officials would later deem was 9 minutes and 29 seconds, fatally asphyxiating him in the process.

In his final moments, Floyd uttered the words 'I can't breathe' - creating a rallying cry for a subsequent civil rights movement in the process.

Chauvin, 46, was convicted the following year, and is now in a little more than three years into his 21-year federal prison sentence.
