Hundreds of mourners, including the Rev. Al Sharpton and the mother of Eric Garner, took part in an emotional memorial service in Minneapolis Thursday afternoon to honor George Floyd, the man whose death in police custody sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The ceremony began with attorney Benjamin Crump calling some of Floyd’s family members to the front of the room to deliver remarks. They recounted their childhood, growing up with Floyd, who they said close friends and family members called "Perry." Crump said the fight for justice for Floyd was also part of a greater fight to help "America be America for all Americans."

Call it a memorial but it's a political photo-op and campaign rally. It was really saying Black America be Black America for all Black Americans. Keep racism alive and forget that old guy Dr. MLK. He was way wrong.

Do you want to see some fireworks? Leave Sharpton's name out of the headline.

Any sympathy I had for the Floyd family vanished once they allowed a race baiter like Al Sharpton to speak at George's memorial service. Sharpton is a known agitator not a peace keeper.

If there's a black funeral around Al's napping.
If there's a black funeral on TV, Al's dragging the cameraman to the best angle.
What you call a vulture.

I caught a glimpse of this as I walked through the living room where hubby had it live on Fox News. The place where it was held was only about 2/3 full - rows and rows of empty seats. I guess people care more about setting fires and getting free stuff than they do about Floyd.

Kind of a replay of the Wellstone memorial? Surprised Hillary wasn't present here.

Leave it to the Rev. Al to transform a memorial service into a politicized affair. Who is the Rev. Al to say who can walk up a street carrying a Bible if they please.
It really remarkable that thousands of US military veterans have died since the COVID-19 virus invaded America, and just about all of them have been denied any attended funeral or memorial service and graveside veterans benefits. It was said that those veterans can have a funeral or memorial service and graveside service sometime in the future. But today George Floyd was given a memorial service in Minnesota attended by hundreds of people seated close together with many of them not wearing face masks. It has been reported that Ford is scheduled to have a couple of other memorial services in different cities, until the final memorial service in Houston next week that will be attended by Joseph Biden.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought the Floyd family wanted to fight racism. if so, then why are they soiling themselves associating with that racist charlatan Sharpton?

While the way George Floyd died was a crime, he was far from a saint. He had an arrest record the length of an arm. He spent more than a few times in jail, included one time for holding a gun to a woman's stomach who was pregnant at the time. I'm not holding my breath for this information to made public anytime soon. Not that that would change the minds or attitudes of all the uninformed and braindead idiots.

Why is it these race-whores only get "outraged" when the violence against a black belongs to a police officer, who also happens to be white?
Where's the "outrage" over the hundreds of innocent blacks who are every year killed by BLACK THUGS who thrive in leftist enclave cities like Chicago, Newark, Oakland, etc.? Why not any memorials to the little girls who die from a bullet wound in the head while sleeping in their beds in South Chicago when a gangsta' pops a cap for fun or for death? No outrage? Why? To hell with your Sharpdumb.
