George Floyd's golden casket is on its way to its final resting place following a powerful funeral service in Houston, where loved ones shared their memories and community leaders demanded his death lead to widespread change.
---
Members of the New Black Panther group were seen on site standing guard surrounding Floyd's hearse as the procession exited the Fountain of Praise Church.
---
A pastor at George Floyd's funeral called for the White House to be 'cleaned out' and urged the public to vote as hundreds of mourners, including the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Botham Jean and Eric Garner, gathered to say goodbye to the beloved father.

The Chinese wanted to preserve Mao’s corpse to be venerated like Lenin’s. They had nobody to do the job right . By the time they called in the Russians to help it had already rotted past the point where anything could be done. How fitting for what was once the most evil man on Earth.

And all for a false narrative. I have been asking from the beginning.. where is
the proof this was racism?!
Useful Idiots and Marxist Thugs continue to try and destroy our country.

Meanwhile, across the way a homeless veteran that died shivering in the street is laid to rest in a nameless grave. Nobody remembered him, nobody mourned his passing. The diggers shovel pats the top of the dirt pile and walks away.

Ridiculous theater, the man was a thug. The people that make him out as some kind of hero are not doing anyone any favors in the long run. He died due to his life style and chosen profession. It’s not about color, it’s about character. Live as a thug, die as a thug.

THE TRUTH:
The Officer’s actions “contributed” to Floyd’s Death, but he was also using an “approved” Departmental technique to subdue a Suspect.
Floyd’s Drug Dealer had a bigger impact on his Death. Has he been Arrested yet?
I guess the Family will be Suing Floyd’s Cardiologist too.

All this falderal for a common criminal takes away from the dignity of such a sendoff for people who actually deserve it.
Who could be surprised.. after all.. they gave Obama the Peace prize for absolutely nothing.

Shoulda got the dancing guys!
Everyone laughs at the dancing guys, but there’s an African kind of joy about them. They are hired as an act of love to dance a loved one to his or her grave. They remind me a lot of New Orleans funerals.

Ay, que clase de familia-a garish, overdone, phony send-off for a former nobody-and in very poor taste, in my opinion-even the narco cartels have more tasteful funerals for their capos-and they are certainly not known for low-key funerals-since theirs end with weapons being fired into the air, I was half expecting it at this performance...
