  1. Lauryn Hill's lyrics in "Mystery of Iniquity and "Freedom" pretty much sums up the what who why and when…..you cannot give a nation over to the devil and expect peace. people will constantly battle with their self consience.

    Lauryn Hill- Mystery of iniquity"
    "When the Son of Perdition is Commander in Chief
    The standard is Thief
    Brethren can we candidly speak?
    Woe to the men
    Trusted in the chariots dem'
    Leaning on horses
    They run their intellectual sources
    Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
    Confusion consumes them

  2. Who’s this Harris woman?

  3. Looks more like a DNC event.

  4. We going to Gedwyaesha funeral next month.

  5. Did the Hyena laugh through her comments? Sharpton belongs in prison for tax evasion. He owes millions. Somebody will claim I'm racist. Good luck with that. Sure, I'm White, but the love of my life happens to be Black.

  6. Parents need to teach their children better

  7. kamala Harris doesn't care what happened to this young man!

  8. 🔒🔒🔒🔥😱🔥🔒🔒🔒🎀☝️🖖🌄

  9. Hi I really enjoyed the service of Tyrese Nicholson was very good

  10. What is justice to uuuuuuuu.? What's going to be different? I am over the same old tried words no justice no peace really people….. Ppl in power and these families telling the protesters no violence but be peaceful. You are telling the wrong people to be peaceful. Start telling the dirty cops be peaceful and no violence. But of course you will continue to say nothing and we are back to talking about passing police reform yea right, because this one is going to change everything. Yea right

  11. All because George Floyd killed himself.

  12. This is beyond disgusting.

  13. I heard on the radio that they're calling the BLACK police officers WHITE supremacists.
    🤔 WHAAAAT the … 🤣
    O chit … what has happened to us? Buncha 🤡's in the media

  14. Al Sharpton and Kamala Harris being there tells be everything about Tyre and his family.😢

  15. WHY TF is a dirty AG that willfully and knowingly tried to keep innocent men on death row, ordered mothers or truant students be arrested, imprisoned more people than ANY California AG in history, AND laughed about imprisoning people for the same thing she admits her family does together on holidays; attending this man’s funeral whom she didn’t know?
    Oh yea, grifting again, EF Kamala. And that charlatan Sharpton too. They don’t GAF about black or poor folks.

  16. So ole Shards-s-ton is still showing up to support division is he?

  17. The media is milking this for all they can.
    They only wish it was white cops that killed him.

  18. The great Race Baiter Al Sharpton, front and center. 😂

  19. It's a fundraiser for Al, poor family!

  20. Al Sharpton is an FBI informant

  21. Harris and Sharpton speaking at the young mans funeral degrades this cause immensely.

  22. Sad but this turned into trash news quickly. Harris and Sharpton says it all! My deepest respects to the Family!

  23. No.matter what side you view those who attended this funeral..it's a tragedy…it's the action that comes after his death..thoughts and prayers is not the words we need to hear again..over and over..despicable this should have never have happened 🙏 !!!!!!!

  24. As a mother I feel for this family and the sorrow that they're going through through losing a child but then to turn around and disgrace this young man by having these two people stand up and talk about racist and George Floyd who was a criminal this is insane..
    Remember your child your flesh and blood, not a criminal. Al sharpton capitalizes on racism he is not out for you another is Kamal Harris or Joe Biden they are out for themselves and what chaos they can cause in the community
    Your son did not deserve to die the hands of people his own color , for some reason only God knows but these animals will get Justice for taking this young man's life

  25. Nothing about the black kids being shot
    Guess their lives don’t matter

  26. ' 😔 ' ! ❤️ ! " Responsibility Matters for ALL Lives " ! 🇺🇸 !

  27. Race Hustler Al getting in his two cents worth ! Al, Black cops killing black people is not racist ! Remember, Blacks cannot be racist !

  28. I heard a rumor he was sleeping with that cops wife soon as I see Al Sharpton there I know it's a money grab he got paid $30,000 to do George Floyd's funeral

  29. Rev al never misses an opportunity to throw himself in front of a TV camera

  30. She can go to a funeral but she can't go to the boarder shows how she cares about the country on the other hand my condolences to the family of this guys family
