George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, speaks at his memorial service in Minneapolis, on June 4. WCCO
Philonise Floyd said people loved being around his brother. Speaking at his memorial service, Philonise Floyd said George Floyd had a way of making everyone feel as important as a president. "Guys that was doing drugs, smokers and homeless people — you couldn't tell because when you spoke to George, they felt that like they were the president, because that is how he made you feel," he said,"He was powerful, man. He had a way with words.""Every day, he walks outside, there'd be a line of people, just like when we came in, wanting to greet him and wanting to have fun with him," he said, referencing the crowds that have gathered for the memorial.
"All these people came to see my brother. And that is amazing to me that he touched so many people's hearts. You know, because he's been touching our hearts, you know," Philonise Floyd added.
Highly painful scenes to watch and the action by the police was brutal and merciless
He was a violent scumbag! Quit pretending he wasn’t
RIP
Screw the masses and politicians that attend his upcoming funeral. Expected to be hundreds of thousands. Just last week most folks couldn't even have a funeral. Did the covid rules changed overnight? This is what happens when you let government leaders like mays/govs lie to you.
the only funeral allowed in the country while 100,000 who died from Covid had no funerals!!!!
Rest his soul. Sounds like he WAS a gentle giant. Just horrific what happened to him. (Don’t think Sharpton is the right pick to unite. He is a race baiting racist himself).
But everyone else in the country has not been able to hold funerals with our family members
Talk about photo ops!
donlemon chose to speak when the 8 Minutes plus of silence while standing up. REALLY !!!!!! WHY?!?!!? Where is the respect ?!?!? There is a time for commentary and a time for silence. COME ON!!!! I’m glad I was watching ABC... WHY IS DON LEMON ON? If he can’t SHUP THE F**k UP!
Rest in peace brother ,Till we meet again 😢 ,struggle continue... your death will not go in vain 😔
Geez, even FOX News stayed with the the George Floyd Memorial service until the end, CNN cutaway an missed the poignant 8 minute 46 second moment of silence, way to step on the moment guys.
VanJones68 God speed
VanJones68 The video did flatten me. I can no longer watch it, it is a lynching! We lost a wonderful soul far too soon who should have grown old watching his babies grow up. The Rev said it all so did you Van. I'm sorry for all this pain Black Americans have endured. Let's BeTheChange
Fuck you for cutting away from the 8:47 of silence. I expect it from Fox, but even BBC, Newsy, and all my local stations stayed with it.
I wonder where his fiance is. Was she told she could not attend because I am sure she would want to be there
TrinityMustache My heart aches for them and this country. What a nightmare. IF you can, please donate to the GoFundMe for his little girl.
They should have asked Laura Coats to speak at the memorial for George Floyd. Al Sharpton’s tone and message i fear is going to create further division.
Why is the killing of George Floyd not being classified as a HATE CRIME? It SHOULD be. Why is this not being discussed.? 59 yr old white guy here
They just turned off about 150 million America by putting the world’s biggest rece hustler, Al Sharpton, on as the main speaker denouncing Trump. What a F’N joke!!! He turned it into a political circus... Turning off the TV now..
Justice justice justice
I am shocked at the negative, smartass, ridiculous comments of some people here. A man died in a horrific way. Is that really how they want to build a new legacy, one even the rest of the world knows they so desperately need? GeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatterIreland

4 former Minneapolis police officers now charged in the death of George FloydFormer Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin will now be charged with murder in the second degree for the death of George Floyd. The other 3 officers involved will be charged with aiding and abetting second degree murder. CNN's Josh Campbell is in Minneapolis They should ask those cops : how would you like to die firing squad, hanging or a new invention, the guillotine Powerful moment that we stood UP demanding together to create change and didn’t care what your nationality is, your GPA, neighborhood, or political view. We are better then that today. We bleed the same color blood Why not first degree and aiding and abetting? It should be accessory. Very fishy
