‘When you spoke to him, he always wanted to motivate you, no matter what you was going through,’ he added, mentioning that he always say the ‘brighter side’ of any situation.
That being said, Terrence went on to mention the destructive and rather violent turn the protests have taken, the man expressing that he was worried this type of reaction to the events would do the opposite and take away from the justice pursuit.

‘I do feel like it is overshadowing what is going on because, like I already said, he was all about peace, he was about unity…the things transpiring now, they may call it unity but it is destructive unity. It is not what he was about. That is not what my brother was about. It is OK to be angry, but channel your anger to do something positive or make a change in another way because we have been down this road already. The anger…damaging your hometown isn’t the way he would want,’ he stated during the same interview.
