Kevin Hart should've slammed the brakes on the roast -- like Will Smith did at the Oscars in 2022 -- after hearing Tony Hinchcliffe crack a George Floyd joke ... so says Floyd's brother.
Terrence Floyd sat down for an interview on "The Latest with Loren LoRosa"... and he was asked who should've stepped in to stop Hinchcliffe from mocking Floyd's murder by saying he was "looking up at us all, laughing so hard he can't breathe."
Floyd says his family was especially hurt by the joke because Hart attended Floyd's funeral in Minnesota back in the day ... and he feels Hart should've stepped up in the moment and cut Hinchcliffe off.

Tiffany told us she was preoccupied, having to pee, and didn't catch it when Tony Hinchcliffe made a crack about Floyd -- who was killed in 2020 when a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck until he couldn't breathe.
TH claims she didn't hear the joke, so she didn't comment on the controversial quip itself. But she did note that people who seem to be complaining are comedians who weren't invited to the show.
And that looks she gives the camera at the end tells you exactly how Tiffany's feeling about the criticism.
The fallout continues over a controversial George Floyd joke made by Tony Hinchcliffe at "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... with fellow stand-up comic and actor Lil Rel calling the moment gross ... and shaming the crowd for not booing.
Lil Rel posted his thoughts to Instagram on Tuesday morning ... saying he found the moment so "disgusting," he wondered what he would have done had he been there ... but he's pretty sure he already knew.
If you didn't watch Sunday's live roast on Netflix ... Hinchcliffe proclaimed to Hart ... "The Black community is so proud of you… right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can't breathe."
George Floyd's family and friends are appalled Tony Hinchcliffe was invited back for a Netflix roast and they're blaming Kevin Hart for allegedly giving Tony the green light to do another joke about George ... a joke they didn't find funny in the slightest.
Travis Cains, a spokesman for The Gianna and George Floyd Foundation, tells TMZ … Kevin condoning Tony's joke is "sad for the culture."

Tony was among the comedians roasting Kevin, and during his set he proclaimed ... "The Black community is so proud of you… right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can't breathe."
