Sharpton: George Floyd's life won't matter until someone pays the cost for taking it
2020-06-10
[UPI] The Rev. Al Sharpton asked for support for the family of George Floyd and called for police reform at a funeral service Tuesday at The Fountain of Praise church in Floyd's hometown of Houston.

"We must commit to all of this family. When the last TV truck is gone, we'll still be here," Sharpton said.

The minister thanked former U.S. President Barack Obama and athletes and celebrities who had reached out to Floyd's family, including actor Jamie Foxx and singer Al B. Sure!, who were in the congregation.

#10  Display of their nouveau riche status as beneficiaries of white guilt, and pointing the way to other blacks of how to work race as a cash cow and protection racket.

#5  There have been at least six blacks killed in the rioting. Don't they matter?

It's like ISIS killing more Muslims than non-Muslims. Or like "Palestinians" willing to "sacrifice" a dozen of theirs to kill one Israeli.

#1  Don't worry. Officer Chauvin will very likely spend the rest of his life in prison. His life won't be worth a plugged nickel there.
That will not be enough to satisfy Sharpton and the BLM crowd, though.
