The service will be held for Floyd at the Fountain of Praise Church at 11am local time, where family and friends will pay their final respects.

Floyd's body will then be carried home in a horse-drawn carriage and laid to rest next to his mother at the Houston Memorial Gardens in Pearland.

How many services, horse drawn carriage, gold casket, next up world tour and a fly over by the airforce. Now we also have Tony Timpa who was killed the same way nearly and the police laughed as he lay dead.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to dig up the coffin to get its gold covering?

He gets a funeral, THREE TIMES, meanwhile people who died from Wu Fu, strokes, heart attacks, cancer, and other diseases get a zoom funeral with 1 family member and a “Hey sorry about your loss”

Don’t get me started........and how many died alone? We lost 4 dear friends between March and April......no goodbyes, no funerals no nothing.......grrrrrr

May he rest in peace.

How surprised he would be to see all the fuss!

More fuss than Aretha...minus the red shoes.

I’m just waiting for the day when we ditch the national anthem in favor of a forced kneeldown in his honor.

Maybe I'm old school but I have a problem with cops saluting and even having American flags on their uniforms. This is nothing more than conditioning us for NATIONALIZED POLICE.

Why do some police depts. have American flags on their uniforms? Are they national?

ONLY MILITARY should salute and ONLY MILITARY should have American flags on their uniforms and ONLY MILITARY should have American flags on their coffins.

When cops STEAL protocols reserved for our military heroes it CHEAPENS the special honors our brave fighting forces have EARNED.

I’m stuck in an airport bar and today’s funeral is on TV. One of the portraits of Floyd at the service has angel wings and a halo. I am not kidding.

Oh and I forgot..

Flags at half mast should ONLY be used for heads of State and MILITARY personnel, PERIOD.

Lower our flag for just about ANYTHING has CHEAPENED the honor reserved for our fighting forces.

Surprised they haven’t renamed Times Square “Red Square”, and put his body on display there encased in a glass casket.

If they rename Broadway "Street of the People's Struggle Against White Racism," the sort of thing the Maoists used to do in China, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
