Mourners, many wearing masks and T-shirts with the words 'I Can't Breathe,' stood 6 feet apart as they paused briefly to view the casket. Some made the sign of the cross as they passed by. On the stage behind the casket were two identical murals of Floyd wearing a black cap that read 'Houston' and angel wings drawn behind him.

Floyd's private funeral will be Tuesday followed by burial at the Houston Memorial Gardens cemetery in suburban Pearland where he will be laid to rest next to his mother, Larcenia Floyd.

He’s had more funerals than the number of households with their first goldfish purchase.

Such hero role models

King George. King Rodney. Thugvon. St Michael

Each one trying to turn his life around before an evil white or white Hispanic applied the appropriate self-defense

I hope this guy is in hell and that Officer Barbrady joins him shortly and they have to share a cell for 100,000 years.

If he’s in Hell, he wishes he were in a cell with Officer Chokehold. He can’t breathe.
