Civil rights activist Al Sharpton attacked President Donald Trump and vowed not to let those with agendas use George Floyd as prop during his powerful eulogy for the man who was anonymous in life but sparked global protests for justice in death.
Hollywood celebrities, musicians and the politically powerful filed into a sanctuary in front of the golden casket of Floyd for a memorial service on Thursday as mourners began a three-city farewell.
The service unfolded at the Lindquist Sanctuary at the North Central University as a judge less than a mile away set bail at $750,000 each for three of the four fired Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting murder in his death.
The memorial drew the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and members of Congress, including Reps. Ilhan Omar, Sheila Jackson-Lee and Ayana Pressley. Among the celebrities in attendance were T.I., Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish and Marsai Martin.

I thought the exact same thing....
God will not withhold judgement on these people any longer.
Im sure all the contributors to the familys $10 Million Go Fund Me had that gold coffin in mind when they gave their money/sarc
Powerful point.
Sorry for your loss.
Over? HAA!!
There’s at least a couple more memorials yet to come is what I heard.
Oh joy.
This circus really pisses me off.
A white couple travelling on I-10 through Baton Rouge stopped to get gasoline. Two elementary age kids in the back seat.
Husband is confronted by a black man who shoots him in the head. Wife gets out to protect her husband. A black woman then shoots the wife in the head.
So a white couple were executed in front of their kids for being in the wrong part of town.
NO media attention to this at all.
OMG.
Some CEO guy named Zane Tankel just said on Neil Cavuto’s show that he decided not to shave his beard off in honor of George Floyd. WT Flying F?
What does a beard have to do with anything, Floyd didn’t even have a beard.
Pure insanity.
I think I’m going to make a BLT now. You know, “in honor of George Floyd.”
Total 3 days for this staged funeral drama to play out and then they’ll be back to riot.
Ooooooh, I'm soooooo glad that Minneapolis has such a resolute, assertive leader to guide the city through these troubling times.
OMG
This guy is Elvis
Well, she was partly responsible for this cluster, so maybe she’s trying to atone, hee-hee.
The book is so much better.
My aunt lost her mother, presumably to dementia-related complications, and we haven’t joined together for a memorial yet. My Governor (Larry Boss Hogg Hogan) does realize it’s already June, right?
Each celebrity mourner trying to steal the spotlight.
OK, THIS is the icon, the hero to a large part of the black community and a bunch of useful white lib idiots--a criminal, a porn "actor", sire of an illegitimate child, a drug user and someone who obviously neglected the responsibility of his health. How on earth does this marginal character rate nationwide riots in his "honor", a gaudy gold casket, the most pathetic protozoid politicians kneeling before his casket, etc. merit anything besides his basic 6 x 3?
Unfortunately there are some states and areas of you should not travel thru for any reason.
When in Flrida, and unfamiliar with the area I took a wrong exit....driving along trying to figure out where I was, I saw women hanging out on corners and boarded windows and gated doors. Wasn’t driving more than 5 minutes when a police car was in back of me and another along side. Pulled over and they said ..”we knew you weren’t from around here, a blond woman driving a nice car by herself wouldn’t survive”....they were actually escorting me until I was back up on the freeway..said they new I was lost.
Thanks. I feel for families who have to suffer their loss without loved ones and friends beside them. And then to see this. It’s infuriating. Not that Floyd’s family is getting multiple opportunities to mourn their family member, but that others are being denied the same.
