Anybody else watching Mr. George Floyd's memorial and can't stop crying?

[Maru Kitteh]

I get myself together and then it all falls apart again. Trying hard to figure out all the best ways I can help make this feeling into a better future.

1. Very sad.

2. Powerful.

Rev Al and Benjamin Crump blew the doors off with their eulogies, and the nine minutes of silence really made the point.

3. I'm listening in my car.

Had to pull over for the 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence. I am having trouble imagining what evil it takes to hold someone down for that long until life leaves their body. I am having more trouble imagining the terror George Floyd must have felt knowing he was dying. I am so sorry.

7. I am having too much trouble un-imagining it. I don't know what to do.

12. I know Maru...

Poor George Floyd being tortured by police terrorists.

6. deeply saddened, but reassured as Mr. Floyd appears to be going full Kenobi

in death, George Floyd has become the most powerful person in the country, encouraging solidarity in democracies around the world. i wish he could be here to see it.

8. It was lovely

[FM123]

9. Yes, me too.

Especially the part when he talked about George crying out for his mama, I just broke down and wept...

10. We stood for the 8 min, 46 seconds

What a powerful way to end the service. It was such a long time. Thinking about Mr. Floyd and what he went through for those longest, last, minutes of his life broke me.

Rev. Al gave one hell of a eulogy.
