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.

At the funeral of BOTH my mother and father that died a week apart I didn’t put on a show like that. I was close to them, no problems, but grieving as a public show-piece just isn’t me.
Why blame President Trump, this was in a Democratic run city and state?
Did his handlers keep him away because they were afraid he'd be asked a question? And then, you know.
Figures that queer drama queen would turn Floyds funeral into HIS moment
Faker.
I haven’t seen “Bonfire of the Vanities” in a while but wow, that brought back memories of how these charlatans manage to frame public opinion to spark mob mentality.
I wonder if al “race-baiter-supreme, sharpton ever paid the millions he owed in federal taxes? If not...why isn’t he in prison??? Race-baiter privilege???
EVERY family which has been denied a proper Funeral for a loved one “DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTION” should be OUTRAGED at this special spectacular.
What happened to Governor Walz’s limitations on large group gatherings?
wHO IS Floyd gEORGE IS THATgEORGW flYD.I Just can’t be Bothered to get It Ssdtaight.
He’s a disgrace, period.
Which one, lots of choices available.
You said a lot with just one sentence!
I knew a guy in the Navy from Mississippi who said he was a preacher. He was one of the funniest guys I knew.
Also one of the most debauched on liberty.
I don’t doubt he got his license from a matchbook or something. I did like him, but he was no preacher.
He rarely comes down on the right side of an issue and Tawana Brawley and the Duke Five are just a couple of examples. Yet, he spouts on and on, caring not one whit the effect it has and then, when he KNOWS he’s wrong, he never acknowledges it or apologizes for it.
And all this White Supremacist crap, what would happen if we just let it roll off our backs and said: “Thank you”? Wonder if they’d go ballistic?
All the race hustlers together in one place. Sort of like those Taliban “weddings” of yore, that is to say, a target rich environment.
“vowed not to let those with agendas use George Floyd as prop”
This is clearly peojection.
Is he supposed to be channeling Michael Jackson?
Guess I'm just not woke enough for all this Black stuff.

A gold casket...They sure do like drama...But what they really want to know is how much money the family will reap.
