Minneapolis mayor sobs uncontrollably at gold coffin of George Floyd as MLK III, Rev. Jesse Jackson, rapper T.I and actor Kevin Hart join mourners at memorial led by Rev. Al Sharpton wearing one black glove

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 heard last night that they’re going to transport him to at least 2 more cities for funeral services. It’s like they’re taking him on tour.

He’s terrified not to. Tears are fake but he has to act the part.

I’ve never had a bad experience with police...but I haven’t lived in areas where there’s a lot of trouble either. Still I’m careful.

The raw venomous hatred shown by the Reverend Sharpton is disturbing. It is he that is the same as the worst of those he criticizes. He is the racist.

“the average walking around person is going to say this is too much”

The average walking around person is going to THINK this is too much. Most won’t SAY it, at least not outside the privacy of a voting booth.

This is on every flipping channel! This is being artificially inflated so as to bring down Trump. The country is in the grips of the second maniacal, insane, obsessive, hysterical fit in 3 months. I’ve had my fill of obsessively hyped crises for the year. But it’s not the last.

Requim for a deceased junkie that garnered his family over 10 million bucks in reparations.

I wonder if Floyd’s family is fighting over the go fund me funds.

How many children did he have? Who cares about the stupid privileged mayor. What about his family?

theres that one woman yesterday who was crying on TV about his 6 yo daughter...

so that’s one...

but his brother didn’t mention any children...

and the woman wasn’t married to George...

(Plus the age doesn’t fit...he got out of prison in 2014 after 5 years...theres not enough time since then for the child to be conceived and born and aged 6 yet...)

Pot calling the kettle black. Everything is a prop for Al.
