The family of George Floyd and two national civil rights leaders will be gathering in Minneapolis the night before the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer charged in Floyd's death.

Opening statements in the Derek Chauvin trial begin Monday. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death. The images of Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck were captured on video and shared worldwide, sparking global protests around race and police brutality.

Sunday night before the official start of the trial, Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights attorney Ben Crump will join the Floyd family for a prayer vigil and rally beginning at Greater Friendship Missionary Church in Minneapolis.

Crump represented the Floyd family in a civil suit that was just settled for a record $27 million with the city of Minneapolis.

Vigil will turn violent. It’s what BLM does.

Reverend Al probably needs to see this first:

They want to make sure that the jurors get the message—Chauvin must be found guilty.

I watched a great deal of the live coverage of the jury selection.

Chauvin is already screwed.

Are they going to dig up George and carry him around town to incite the mob some more?
