Fam Files for Trademark 883 shares 6/18/2020 1:00 AM PT Exclusive George Floyd 's name seems to be heading toward foundation status -- 'cause his family is already making moves to lock up the rights to something called just that ... has learned. George's brother, Philonise Floyd , recently applied to trademark the phrase "The George Floyd Foundation" -- and if he gets it, he'll be able to use it to teach and advocate.

Not Safe To Go Home 1.7K shares 6/18/2020 12:50 AM PT Exclusive @mikedesmondWBFO The elderly man who was violently shoved to the ground by cops in Buffalo can't go home whenever he's released from the hospital ... because there are threats against his life. Martin Gugino 's attorney, Kelly Zarcone , tells ... it's not safe for the 75-year-old man to return to his residence when he's healthy enough to leave the hospital ... because he's getting a constant barrage of threats. Play video content 6/4/2020 "HE'S BLEEDING OUT OF HIS EARS!!!" @mikedesmondWBFO We're told the threats are flooding in from folks who mistakenly believe a false claim going around about Martin -- that he's been arrested 300 times and has a long history of inciting riots. Martin's attorney says in reality, the senior citizen has only been arrested 4 times for peacefully protesting, and only one arrest resulted in a criminal charge for trespassing, and he was acquitted. Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2020 @realDonaldTrump As you know ... Martin is the same peaceful protester President Trump recently suggested -- without a shred of evidence -- might've been a provocateur with ties to Antifa who went to the protest to cause chaos and dissent. Martin's lawyer has shot Trump's claim down as incredibly offensive and completely false, and she says Martin protests injustices he sees on various issues but is always peaceful. Death threats aren't only being directed at Martin, who suffered a fractured skull from the push and fall ... his lawyer says unhappy folks are also threatening her with torture.

'I Can't Breathe' ... Floyd Tribute Aims to Heal 116 shares 6/18/2020 12:40 AM PT Play video content Exclusive SPEAKING THROUGH MY MUSIC .com H.E.R. wants to send a powerful message with her new song honoring George Floyd -- one that captures the feelings and concerns millions of Americans have since he was killed. The Grammy winner tells us why she had to write, "I Can't Breathe," after conversations with fellow artists, and herself, about Floyd's death and the country's emotional reaction to it. H.E.R. says the track tackles one important question that's been ringing in the heads of so many people lately: Why is there so much hate??? The singer/songwriter believes all artists should use their platform to talk about the George Floyd tragedy , because music can be a powerful vehicle for change. Specifically, the change she wants to see is healing -- and she's confident her new track can do that. We had a great convo with H.E.R. about why it's important for artists to speak from the heart now, and music bridging the racial divide in America. You can see all of that on Thursday's Live. "I Can't Breathe" drops Friday, which is Juneteenth, and no ... it's not a coincidence she chose that day.

Spark Change in Atlanta 206 shares 6/18/2020 12:30 AM PT Exclusive Rayshard Brooks ' death at the hands of police won't be in vain, and will lead to lasting changes in Atlanta ... at least that's how his family is viewing his legacy. One of Rayshard's cousins, Decatur Redd , tells ... the family thinks the felony murder charge brought against the officer who fired the fatal shots is a start, and makes it feel like Rayshard died for a reason. Play video content GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN .com Decatur says charging Garrett Rolfe , the fired cop who fatally shot Rayshard in the back, won't bring back his cousin, but it could help Georgia enact its first hate crime bill. As we reported ... Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced 11 charges against Rolfe Wednesday, including felony murder and multiple acts of aggravated assault. Decatur tells us family members had trouble sleeping leading up to the announcement, because they feared Rayshard's killer would not be charged, which he says would have reopened lots of wounds in Atlanta. That all changed, of course, after the D.A.'s announcement, and he shared the emotions of that moment. The felony murder charge wasn't the only shock to the family. Decatur says it was heartbreaking to hear Rayshard didn't get timely medical aid -- and to see Rolfe kicked him as he lay dying.
