  1. I’m Crystal Murray from Charleston South Carolina I pray for all you during this difficult time. I know what it feels like to loose a love one in police hands. I lost my so in 2011. God bless ya’ll and stay strong. I know it isn’t easy. Because I still haven’t got over my son’s death

    1. _I know what it feels like to loose a love one in police hands_
      Far more police are offed by ebonies than ebonies offed by police every year, Dummy and ebonies off VASTLY more people in general than anyone! Why isn’t everyone taking about that? OH, that’s because DA TRASH TEEVEE tells you what to think about. You people have the brains of *FLIES*

    2. @Crystal Murray where is all the sorrow for all the hundreds of thousands of victims of Ebony’s every year?

  2. I am so sorry for George Floyd. May God forgive his sins. Please also protest the killing of Muslims. “Peace at home peace in the world” Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

    1. @Logic Bully of course it is, its always about religion. The religion of blackness. the religion of islam, the religion of marx, the cult of personality is the same thing no matter what you call it, and you’re all cunts for being in cults.

  3. 💗 Thank God for All the LOVE and HEALING that took place in this church❣ Best to stop watching right after the family and church sings in the Spirit near the end. After that, political people hijack it to tell people how to vote.
    The last “preacher”,
    with a bitter heart,
    sucks the LOVE, GRACE and healing right out of the room.
    IMO..He selfishly, inappropriately used
    this service of healing…
    to try to make HIMSELF famous
    by fanning the flames of political and racial divisiveness. PLEASE KEEP POLITICAL AND RACIAL DIVISIVENESS OUT OF GOD’S HOUSE❣💗

  4. Изза наркомана и грабителя, такой ажиатаж, вам на карнтине совсем уже делать нехуй, раз за такого отброса столько людей выходит ?

  5. RIP George 🙏. God bless you all. I pray for peace and Justice. Much love to you all from a Native Indigenous woman from Greensboro N.C. 🤲🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
