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.

“George Floyd’s funeral is expected to have hundreds or thousands of attendees, including high profile politicians like Biden. Meanwhile people have not been allowed to go to their own family members funerals because attendance was capped due to COVID.”

But this is important!

I am not watching any of this or looking at the images posted such a farce but I didn’t know his funeral was today.
Is it being shown on all channels? My tv is off

Did they put all the loot in the Golden Coffin?

Something tells me that Mumbles wants to know where it is.

George Floyd was known to have acted in a few porn films for a production company called HABBISHOW. Were any of his ‘former co-workers’ in attendance at the funeral?

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.

Meanwhile, families all over the country are being denied the right to mourn their dead loved one in the manner they choose.

Wow, they went Wellstone funeral x 11.

A gold coffin? Really? Perhaps going full Tutankhamun, a giant limestone pyramid can be built.

You know at some point, the average walking around person is going to say this is too much. The Dems, as usual, have overplayed their hand.

Indeed. A local nursing home here had 15 deaths and the bodies were whisked away and cremated.

No Good-byes, No Funerals, No Memorial Service, no comfort for the families.

They were all somebody’s mom or dad, grandma or grandpa, son or daughter, sister or brother.

None of them even knew this guy. If they had some of them might have not even liked him. They’ve made George Floyd into a prop.

Disgusting. Hey, all you people using this for your own gain - where is your concern for the 191 people killed in Chicago so far this year? What, can't make political/personal/financial hey from that? Oh, I see exactly where your sensibilities lie.

Like I said, disgusting. You are all loathsome publicity whores.

You can’t make this stuff up. But it’s long past hilarity at this point, Now it’s entered the extreme danger zone. Our nation is in grave danger, as the forces are coming together to destroy our president, our freedom and our way of life.

America’s survival is in the balance. Prayer, prayer, and more prayer! Storm heaven for deliverance from this evil.

I’ve disagreed with many here on how Floyd died.
However, was no Boy Scout. He was a criminal and thug.

Anyone know if retired captain David Dorn’s family is able to hold a funeral...?
