please give his family i know the round of applause. and watching they have a memorial in the minneapolis chapel they own to remember george troy the man whose death set off anguish around america and demands for changes to policing let's bring in our john hendren who's watching as memorial for us give us an idea of what's been happening so far. here with. what we heard from george 3 words family members and they've been talking about him as a man who was really a family man a big man a gentle giant in one who was a man of peace

a church going man and what they were doing really is humanizing him so that people can see him is not just this victim on the floor beneath the knees of 3 police officers or the symbol of this national movement but a real flesh and blood person whose daughter 6 years old and is now going to go without a father and to give you an idea of just how many people are interested in this event behind me hundreds of people they don't have an invitation to go inside this event these are just people from minneapolis and the surrounding areas hundreds of them. just wanted to come here to listen to this ceremony. killing hundreds of thanks for trying to be nice over. this and then more listening to benjamin crump a family. video we so was tortured

reverend jackson what we saw not video was any humane more in the 3rd what we saw on the video was evo and saw america we put claim. as george floyd do not cooperate with evil protest against evil johnny young people in the streets protesting again they evoke the end humane the torture that they witness only video we can cooperate with evo we can not cooperate with any justice we can now go to weapon right were tortured. becomes judge clark deserve better than that. we all deserve 2 better than that his family deserves 2 better than

his children deserve 2 better than that. steve old george wanted from life is worth any of us worn as thomas jefferson said in the declaration of independence. and a new poll rights endowed by our creator tyreese to live if liberty in the pursuit to be happy on this earth that's all george was asked before like in all of those he was did not those rights. and we will seek justice in his name we will all unite it as

a people who are god's children seek justice in his name but beyond the specific justice in his case chris the prosecution of the 4 individuals who deprived george of his life we seek a broader more transformative justice robin alley more jazz system of policing cabin a more just treatment of people of color chris a more just criminal justice system in essence what we are endeavoring to do brandon is what my personal hero thurgood marshall say make the constitution of make the constitution real for all

americans you see justice marshall said the basis of the constitution is simply this that a black baby born tay black mother the most an educated black mother the most in articulate black mother the most improbable black mother has the same exact rights as a white baby. boto white. the most educated white mother the most articulate white mother has the most affluent white mother just bob virtue of the baby drawing its 1st breath as an american not just as more say reverend jackson i know that's not the case in america today

but i challenge anybody to say tony that that's not the goal we're fighting for he said i challenge anybody to say that's not what makes america great begin of hope and justice for all the world to marvel so when we fight for the george flaws of the world but more importantly when we fight for the. george floors of the world when we fight for trayvon for as the world when we fight for the turn scratches of the world when we fight for michael proud of the world when we fight without 2 fellows of the world when we pray for the medical field of the world who we diverted to mark work for the world who we fight for her girl who has had a world where we've put aside your plans for the world when we buy one of our present a world where we pray for brianna tame of the world what we've made for the times when we can't isn't a world where we fight for this stuff clarkson

a world where we fight for the release of the world we were really doing this happen america come live up to its creed we'll what we were really doing this happen america beat a great big game of hope and justice for oh the world to love oh but most importantly brothers and sisters what we are doing is happening america be america for all americans. well we won't. not to justice systems in america one for black america and one for white america we endeavor to achieve is equal justice for the united states of america and jobs for law or

is the moment that gives us the best opportunity i have seen in a long time of reaching that high idea that this country was founded on thank you so much this is the plea for justice. on behalf of the family the children we will get justice we are committed to now i would introduce you to a man who really needs no introduction. george floyd he is a man who has fought for so many families that too many hashtags to remember and when he gets to call he always answers the call even when the cameras on or around even after the cameras are gone as gone his

family asked stefan cause family ask any of these families the cameras have long gone tony but revenue continues to answer the bell when people call. here's a leader. that you see on t.v. commentator about our experiences but more importantly here's a leader who has lived experiences and because he have lived those experiences that's what makes him so effective and commentate n.o.m.'s in b.c. about our experiences and he is going to talk about the experience. of the. charitable loss of somebody who should be with us today and that is george floor please give a great round of applause for the reverend al sharpton.

thank you. i want. us to not sit here and act like we had a funeral on the schedule george floyd should not be among the deceased he did not die of common health conditions he died of a common american criminal justice malfunction. he

died because of there has not been the corrective behavior that is taught discontinuity that if you commit a crime. it does not matter whether you wear a blue jeans or a blue uniform you must pay for the crime you commit to it so it is not a normal field it is not a normal circumstance but it is too common and we need to deal with it let me axe those of you that in the traditions of eulogies need a scriptural reference go to create the ask these 3rd chapter. first verse says to everything there is attack and

a purpose and season under the heavens them or leave the day i saw somebody standing in front of the church the day would have been boarded up as a result of violence held the bible in his hand. preach and since i was a little boy i never seen anyone hole a bible like that but i'll leave that alone. but since he held the bible if he's watching us today. i would like him to open that bottle and the inn i'd like him to read it crazy ass the story to every season there's a time and

a purpose and i think that it is our job to let the world know when we see what is going on industry of this country and in europe around the world that you need to know what time it is 1st of all. we cannot use bibles as a prop. and for those that have agendas. that are not about justice this family will not let you use george as a prop i am the only if you want to get your stuff off don't use him. let us stand for what is

right because when when i got a call from attorney crump and usually when he calls me is not to find out how i'm doing is usually because something happened that he wants national action network and i did get involved and he explained to me what was happening with this case and i'd already heard about it in the media and immediately asked said well let me know what you want me to do he said whatever you need to do 100 things martin that i've always had to deal with his critics would say all out shelter wants is publicity what has exactly what i want because nobody calls me to keep a secret. the only people call me

to blow up issues. dead nobody else would deal with the bro up man and i don't apologize for that. the it was you get a way too much what hiding things funny is talked about put in close enough and. have. your clothes dried well i mean we're in the 3rd world i grew up in 3rd ward i've grown brownsville and we had roaches and i know kevin hart and some of the rich hollywood folks here don't know where roaches are but. we had roaches. ludicrous and one thing i found out about roaches is that if you keep the light off. if you in the da. i. wrote she will

pull up to your dinner table. and have a 5 course meal. so i learned one of the ways to deal with roaches is if you cut the light on. i could run nim roaches and track him down. and i've spent all my life chasing roaches all over this country oh yeah yeah. yeah yeah. the in the ear. soon as i talked to the family. and got the details and heard that among george's last words was i came very ordinary on his neck i made it out about aragon i did the eulogy it is and i

called his mother and i said i know we're not going out because of the coronavirus but this is so much like eric if we could arrange some private way to go to minneapolis would you go and she said red now i'm already packing let me know tyler perry said i'll get a family is the plane whatever yoni. because this is wrong robert smith said don't worry about the funeral costs people across economic and racial land this started called in in good noon and we flew out here her and i last thursday and when i started that's but reason it got to me is joe all judge fraud story has been the story of black folks because ever since

401 years ago. the reason we could never be who we wanted and dream debian is you kept your knee on ahmed. ghailani was smarter. then no underfunded schools you put us in but you had your knee on ahmed ghailani we could run corporations and not hustling under street but you had your knee on our neck. we had creative skill. we could do it apple anybody else could do it but we couldn't can't show me off on net. what happened of for our it happens average day in this country an education in health services and nearly every area

of american life is sad for us to stand out in chargers' maine and say good show me off our next. dance. the problem no matter who you are we thought maybe we had a complex maybe it was just us but even blacks that well broke through you kept your knee and then. my good job and won all the g.'s championships and you kept diggin for mess cause you got to put the neon on.

white house wives would run home to see a black woman on t.v. name oprah winfrey and you messed with her because you just can't take you need. ovide neck. man comes out of was single parent home educated him self and rises up and becomes the president of the united states. and you ask him for his bread city for kids because you can't take the old me off our neck. the reason why we are much in all over the world is we were lied charge we couldn't breathe not because there was something wrong what our love was but big you wouldn't take your knee off our mess we don't want no favors just get up off for us and we can be and do what apple we can be.

they have been protest all over the world some have looted and done other things and none of us in this family condones looting or violence. but the thing i want us to be real cognizant of is there's a difference between those calling for peace and those calling for quite.

some of y'all don't want peace. you just want quite. you just want us to shut up and suffer in silence. the overwhelming majority of the people much. one break and went they were trying to break barriers. they weren't trying to steal not and they were trying to get back to justice you stole from us. those that broke the law should pay for whatever law they broke but so should the 4 policeman that calls disputed today we don't have a problem denouncing violence mr governor we don't have a problem mr mayor denouncing luton but it seems like some in the criminal justice system have a problem looking at a tape and know and there's probable cause and it takes

a long time for you to go and do what you see that you need to do. but i am one net as ben crump said as action there we're going to i've been involved a lot but he strikes we started around criminal justice i did speeches and eulogies that most of the funerals that we've had in this space in the last couple of decades and led to marty then did would we had to do. a look at monta 3rd we went to jail together for a nice fight like his dad he went to jail before. but i'm more hopeful today

then he of why i will let me go back when jackson always taught me stay on your text to metaxa khaleesi asked there is an attack. and a season. and when i looked this time. and saw my options were in some cases young whites outnumbered the blacks much i know it is a different man and a different season when i looked and saw people in germany marching for george florence it's a different tan and a different season when they went in from the other parliament in london england and said it's a different tack i am an a different season i couldn't tell you america this is the time i am appealing what i can a pill a day and a criminal justice system. stephen

years ago i went to march and i remember a young white lady looked me right in the face and said nigger go home but when i was here last thursday in this car and i was headed back to the airport i stop near a police station and as i was talking to a report of a young white girl jean look no older than 11 years old she ted my suit jacket and i looked around and i've braced myself and she looked and we said no justice no peace. yeah. this is a different plan. is it different cities. a

and near my bible carry in god from her that boarded up church if i got an open up the bible i want to remember some you know i was late last october to an appointment because the time changed. and i was still my watch was on the wrong tack you know once a year time goes forward and if you don't congresswoman omar move your watch you go find yourself a hour late not because your watch was wrong but you had your watch on a wrong tack well i come to tell you that is set in washington talking about militarizing the country taken it you can't sell wolf tickets to people who's had a nuff of abuse i come to tell you you can get on the t.v. but you own the wrong time time is out for not holding you accountable and is

out for you making excuses i am is out for you trying to stall i am is i'll try and tell words i need to promises time is out for you fell a pastor in an china start the arm of justice this is and we won't stop till we go keep going until we change the whole system of justice. our. organizations have called as a day a moan in a.c.p. yeah sure believe legal defense fund like woman's round table lawyers committee all got together said we will have a day of mourning but then we go come out is there more because as some of our

experts sherrilyn eyeful and others that know the legal feel they have outlined a legal process that we must enforce everything from residency to dealing with police background not being hidden. i talked to governor andrew cuomo today in new york he says we got to change 50 a with a background stop of police and we need to know if they stop you they find out everything you have a deal why don't we know when policemen have a padded. we've got to go back to consent decrees under the obama administration they had put certain cities would patterns in practice under consent decrees. bronner no we've passed the name baltimore that they put it under consent to create one of the 1st thing that happened in the next administration.
