George Floyd's family members remember the man and what he stood for
CNN
The story of George Floyd has ignited a movement. But to his girlfriend, "Big Floyd" was the man she loved.
While the US marked the one-year anniversary Tuesday of the police killing of a man whose death sparked months of reckoning over policing and racial bias, Courtney Ross remembered who Floyd was before the world knew his name. He was a person who believed in inclusiveness, she told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday. He cared about standing up for people who needed help and for bringing people together, she said. And she hoped that is the part of his legacy that people will carry forward.
The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
