Mayhem erupts between cops, mourners after Florida teen’s burial: ‘We’re just coming from the graveyard!’

The funeral for a Florida teen who died in a shooting devolved into violent mayhem over the weekend when mourners allegedly attempted a street takeover and cops fired mace balls at them.

Loved ones grieving the death earlier this month of Nigel Beckford, 19, in Boynton Beach claimed that officers unfairly attacked them after they had buried the teen and left the gravesite Saturday.

Five men were arrested, and sheriff’s deputies found four stolen firearms when the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office gang unit broke up the unruly situation, WPBF reported.

“We’re just coming from the graveyard!” Beckford’s aunt Shanna Burks could be heard yelling while filming the incident.

“Ya’ll dead a– wrong! Ya’ll dead a– wrong!” she screamed. “We just buried my nephew, coming from the graveyard. Have sympathy!”

The footage showed mourners dressed in white and purple outfits being handcuffed and put to sit on the sidewalk.

A deputy could be heard shouting, “Leave the area! Leave the area!” at one point during the confrontation before appearing to fire the mace balls at a crowd that was surrounding them as they made the arrests.

Burks later wrote on Facebook that she had been left with bruises and that officers had been “snatching kids out of the car, hitting them.

“This right here was so uncalled for,” she wrote. “This show you law don’t give a damn we couldn’t even grieve in peace at all yesterday.”

The five men arrested and later freed on bail were identified as Malik Lanard McGraw, Dylan Jayantione Stragh, Dwight Jamallantion Stragh, Jaedin Akwuame Stoveall, and Cardell Valcourt, according to WPBF.

McGraw, Stoveall and Valcourt were held for traffic violations including reckless driving and street racing, booking records show.

...mourners allegedly attempted a street takeover

Seems like they could've worked that little tidbit into the headline somehow instead of the coming from a graveyard thing. 🤔

White people don’t do street takeovers. They are sometimes in them but it is a Black thing.

Don't copy the wokies.

It should read .....a black thing.

Funerals have zero rights to do a street takeover.

Mayhem has a legal definition. I sincerely doubt that there was mayhem here.

(It has to do with cutting parts of a person.)

A black funeral isn’t complete without a shootout and an arrest or two.

I know such behavior is a reason for denigration.
