Jaylen Brown says he plans to peacefully protest George Floyd’s death

Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has been very vocal with his opinions on George Floyd’s death after the 46-year-old Minneapolis Black man was killed Monday when a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.

Brown, who called police brutality “an act of terrorism” in a tweet on Friday, tweeted again at 12:35 a.m. Saturday that he will be peacefully protesting Floyd’s death.

Brown did not make clear how or where he would protest. The 23-year-old wing has been actively voicing his thoughts on Floyd’s death via Twitter.

Social media posts indicated more protests may occur in Boston on Saturday.
