Her words are powerful, my thoughts and prayers are with her and all of George's family. We are One!

ACKNOWLEDGING HIS TERRIBLE MURDER ASIDE! THE LEFT CANNONIZED THIS CAREER CRIMINAL AS SOME KIND OF HERO, JFK OR THE POPE, WITH A 3 HOUR TELEVISED EVENT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE HAS IN DEATH, CREATED MORE RACIAL DIVIDE, CHSOS & DESTRUCTION! THIS WAS ALWAYS THE LEFTS AGENDA!

Yes and he just made this funeral political! We knew all along it was a Democrat campaign event!

I feel empathy for her, but this country is great. Take a look at some of the backward theocracies across the world. See if you can get over what you discover.

Criminals don’t change either but. I one is asking them to stop... weird...

What's with all the whining about 1% of the population?

DeanObeidallah 💔💙🙏🕊

He was a Mentor?.......what exactly were his teachings? What was he passing along to the younger generation?

You all have to vote!

I finally get it. When I would hear people say “when was America ever great” it ruffled my feathers but I FINALLY understand that my America is vastly different than the America POC experience. I apologize for my ignorance. Justice

This is madness.

sympathetic

Hate crime? Hilarious.

Beautiful speech. It breaks my heart to hear one so young in such pain over an atrocity committed against her family. NoJusticeNoPeace is the literal truth for his relations & for everyone else who feels empathy in their hearts. How can we feel peace when police are murdering?

sympathetic

Let's all get on the bandwagon and say where related to George and file for the big one ☝

Where was this family while he was committing crimes and terrorizing pregnant woman?

GillPill77 Her words pierce my soul.

that street should be renamed after George Floyd and all those who were mercilessly killed by racists the streets they died in must be renamed after the victim

R.I.P to George Floyd that did nothing to deserve this to happen to him so young my thoughts go out to his brothers and all of he’s family

😔God rest his soul and comfort his love ones. Forever in our hearts. ❤️🙏🏻✌🏻

Amazing and no one cared about him alive....

Granted that he was a victim (and not a martyr), how many funerals are they going to have for this guy?

My heart is being ripped right out of my chest listening to GeorgeFloyd’s family speak at his funeral💔

Prayers and love ✌😎

He was lynched for no reason.

When was the last time he actually saw these people?

Blessings to their family. GeorgeFloyd georgefloydfuneral BlackLivesMatter

Its slowly changing! Slowly things will get better! Look how a single act can change for better! Few years later people will thank Floyd for being a reason which brought so many positive changes to the police policies as well as for the blacks and whites!

He was shot?

How bizarre, I could have sworn the dress code called for Kente cloths....

So mob brutality around the world is justified by police brutality?

GorgeFloyd Police did wrong with Gorge floyd

How they killed him the full video without editing

Well at least now they will be getting the child support that their father did not provide. “Thanks dad!” “We in the money now!”

now those police departments actually following it is another convo because they can put whatever they want in the police report.

GorgeFloyd

I stand with Mayor Turner!

If the system worked, Floyd should of been in prison for life. He was a habitual career criminal. There are far more rewarding faces to put before the cause!

Joe... why no speech for unarmed white men killed by police?

What a fraud. Joe Biden voted to restore US citizenship for Robert E. Lee and was the architect of the 1994 crime bill. RobertEBiden JoeBiden

You won't see Trump mourning anybody, it's not his nature. Watch Netflix's, Trump documentary.

Joe’s superpower 🦸‍♂️ Whooooooooooooo!!!!!

To get What American black Needs is just A long jounary

RepsForBiden I thought this was his private service.

Nice words, too bad he doesn't support actual action to change the US for the better. Probably due to writing and supporting measures that lead to our current police state.

This is why. Truly Presidential.

8 years as the VP for Obama 47 years in politics. saw the killing of Garner and Grey during his terms ....and now he says Change is on the way? JoeBiden hijacks the GeorgeFloyd funeral AKA Dem convention.

I feel so sorry. I could not imagine have to fell this sadness.

newsone Stop looking at our clothes and look and listen to us.

A memorial for a career criminal. What a joke.

Wonder how many takes it took for this video, smart of them to record this instead of doing so live

👍🍀

newsone ❤✊🏽

too bad they didn't help him to be a decent man.. cops don't arrest decent men

Dressed in white. Brilliant!!!

I wish this death is going to be the last one. Balck lives matter.

Did Joe Biden talk about his response to the LA Riots after the Rodney King beating? His response: Crime Bill of 94 realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr

What a show off. Speaking in coherent full and grammatically correct sentences

So nice to see humanity from the President.... oops, I mean Future President

so did 87 dads in chicago this week all black killed by blacks

BlackLivesMatter

How about all the other families in the country that were not permitted to have funerals for their families?

RIP George ✊🏾

What happened to Floyd was terrible. But this is wrong. 1000s of people who never even knew Floyd were allowed to attend his funeral meanwhile 1000s of Americans who lost a loved 1 during the pandemic weren’t even allowed to visit their dying parents or give them a proper funeral

Trolls coming to comment in 3..2..

😥

Defund or abolish prosecutors! One too many people have been wrongfully convicted.

If USA police arr defunded, more people will buy guns for self defence. WhiteHouse SenateGop JoeBiden

What about when he robbed a pregnant lady?

Was he an American Hero / war veteran or What😳😳😳ex- president?

Neither can the memory of him carried by the pregnant woman who saw him point a gun at her unborn baby. Do you think he was smiling then too?

❤️

Time for a Million Mama March on Washington.

This guy was a convict and we are treating this guy like he was as iconic as Kobe Bryant! smh

I fight for George Floyd must not stop. Our protests however must be peaceful. How government does not care about him about any of those. I am sorry to his and his family for the loss that they suffer. I stand with them and mourn their loss

Decree Do's and Don'ts DON'T- have a large church or funeral gathering for 'your dear loved ones' or face prosecution. DO - disregard the aforementioned order and gather for the political funeral or gathering of someone else.
