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.

That’s to burn half the town, the rest will be burned after the verdict is read . . . it going either way, they won’t care. Free stuff!

Al probably already got his cut with more promised . . . that’s the only reason he’s going to be there.

I wonder how much the lawyer got because he seems to be carving out a niche field of law for himself. Sharpton might be the advance guy.

Fundraising! The family got $27 million and surely hope for more. And I'll wager that Reverend Al,close friend of Tawana Brawley and hero of Freddie's Fashion Mart,has raised at least that much.

“Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights attorney Ben Crump will join the Floyd family for a prayer vigil...”

Al Sharpton praying? So comforting. Now we KNOW everything will turn out okay.

Rumor has it that Terri Nunn will be performing at the vigil.

Will Al Sharpton be bringing a tanker truck of gasoline to throw on the fires?

This is Palm Sunday. The only vigils held should bring honor of the King that gave Himself for us. Shame on any church or “reverend” that does not acknowledge this

I was watching a live stream of the “prayer vigil” for a while. There was no praying going on. Just Al Sharpton, standing at a podium, whipping the audience into a frenzy.

Suddenly, abruptly, the live stream was cut off.

Gee, I wonder why.
