George Floyd's uncle fights harassment in Gettysburg, S.D.

George Floyd's uncle, Selwyn Jones, is being harrassed in his town of of Gettysburg, South Dakota after successfully urging the local police department to remove a badge on uniforms that bore the confederate flag. Jones said it's gotten so bad he has to drive 60 miles out of town to get gas, and has to pay people to mow the grass at a property he owns because the neighbors partake in the harrassment on Facebook. Jones won't move out; he owns a motel in town and he and his wife, who is white, are raising two young children and care for his elderly mother-in-law.
