George Floyd's family and their attorneys knelt at the courthouse for 8 minutes 46 seconds to mark his death ahead of the start of Derek Chauvin's trial

Floyd family will kneel for 8 minutes 46 seconds outside the courthouse before trial beginsMembers of George Floyd's family, Rev. Al Sharpton and attorney Benjamin Crump will take a knee outside the courthouse for eight minutes and 46 seconds before entering the building for the beginning of Derek Chauvin's trial Monday, Rev. Sharpton said during a news conference Sunday night.

He said that the family is preparing to hear Chauvin's defense team smear Floyd's name and try to discredit him during the trial. Sharpton said he hopes prosecutors will hold Chauvin accountable to set precedent for future cases as so many similar cases never saw justice, including that of Rodney King, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.

"If we can't see justice in this case, what will it take?" He added"We've seen killings since George Floyd which is why we will keep on fighting."

Who cares

Was CNN’s coverage of the Tony Timpa incident as detailed as this?

Totally agree with an inquiry,court case, etc.but do not agree with that action. Will all radical groups, weird sects be allowed to show their own personal support actions at a court room everytime. I don't think so.

Boys ask Biden why women in Congress represent women but not men? Feminists called males rapists, domestic abusers, sex assaulters/harassers, stalkers, dead beats, & unworthy & passed laws to protect/promote women but exclude men. These hate crimes alienate boys SenateGOP vp

Al race baiting Sharpton always around when it's black and white but where is he when it's black on black? Sickening 29 shot 3 dead in Chicago last weekend where is Sharpton?

Look at that group of smooth brain opportunists continue the charade. Fentanyl Floyd died from a life of poor choices. Like when he robber a pregnant lady at gun point. Or moved to Minnesota to avoid child support. Or taking fentanyl and meth 🤡

the same people who are advocating for violence in so many words if a not guilty verdict .they send little signals out . In today's america where your words matter if violence breaks out the people in this pic☝️ should be held accountable . america is not trial .were not jurors

Chauvin knew G.F. previously, therefore knew he was not a well man. This was not just murder this was torture and public execution. Chauvin is 'la guillotine.'

The big difference when an athlete takes a knee and when a cop takes a knee

Boys ask Biden to address 30 yrs of anti-male crimes of women calling men rapists, domestic abusers, sex assaulters/harassers, stalkers, privileged, dead beats, & unworthy, etc. & passing family/criminal/employment laws to protect women & exclude men? SenateDems SenateGOP

WHEREARE YOU AT FOR THIS POOR VICTIM Can you say a certain race is 'SYSTEMIC VIOLENT.'

There isn't a jury crew available to disagree that this terrible sole killed George. Impossible

Just put yourself in Floyd's place. Would Chauvin be guilty or not guilty?

Did every see the whole video from different vantage points if different camera. GF was not resisting. After he was out if the vehicle, the other passenger stood to the side. GF was walked across the street. Laying on the ground not moving, not resisting, but being restrained.

Nothing like race profiting Al to get into headline news when it fits his race narrative. You ever question while thousands die on the streets of Chicago every year Al is nowhere to be found! It's unbelievable what the fake media puts out there!

I am totally against racism of any kind. All people.But if the Black Community wants to be taken seriously then WHY is one of the biggest racists in USA history in the middle leading the way? Al Sharpton. Really!!! And we are being asked to come together and eliminate racism?

Did y'all take lethal doses of fentnyol as well

Honourable mark of respect but it’s not 8:46 it’s worse! It’s 9:29! Yes that’s 9 minutes and 29 seconds of no blood supply to the brain 🧠 and no air to his lungs! Overdose? Or mechanical asphyxiation? You be the judge!!

Get ready for it. It's coming

Why didn't Floyd's family help him while he was still alive? And there are plenty of others now who need help. Stop pouring all your hate out at police and white people.

What about those eight dead people at Freddy's in the Bronx, Al? You never knelt for those people you helped get killed.

Already a $25 million payout? Ridiculous. George Floyd would not have earned that amount of money in his lifetime. That was punitive before the trial even was thought about.

Amen

If the family cared soooo much they would stop the circus

If the family cared sooooo much they would stop the autonomous zone

If the family cared sooooo much they should've got him rehab

If his family cared soooo much they should've gave him a real 20 dollar bill

'Would you rather have George Floyd back or keep the $28 million' Floyd family: 'George who?'

Floyd died of drugs so

So Princess are you saying that the medical exsminers report shows this?

People stop please. Humans will do what humans have done for centuries. Period.

Praying with the Family!!!💕

Knelt just as long as Kamala did. Just saying

I bet al sharpton was there

...yawn...

Great more riots..

They need to show before he was being held down when he was fighting back

Based on What I saw today I doubt that was Derek Chauvin First Murder. He could be a Serial Killer.

Theater at its best

Americans tell democrats It is a criminal sex hate crime to enshrine women's equality & protections against sex discrimination in the U.S. Constitution while excluding the same rights for men. SenateDems HouseGOP SenateGOP SpeakerPelosi POTUS VP nytimes CNNPolitics

New undeserved money people. That’s all. It will be spent in no time and back to selling crack

I believe he will be charged but not as everyone wants him to be. First thing they cannot prove that this was racially motivated. Second they will not be able to prove that it was done to intentionally kill George. The fact is George was high as a giraffes ass and resisting.

TOO BAD HE WAS ALREADY OVERDOSING ON FENTYNAL WHEN HE GOT STOPPED AND WAS HAVING PROBLEMS BREATHING BEFORE HE GOT PULLED OVER!!! HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS OWN ACTIONS!!! COPS DID NOTHING TO KILL HIM!!!

)l)llllllll

Well this gives idiots another excuse to riot and destroy that which doesn’t belong to them!! Stop screaming about skin color, look within yourselves, the guilty must be held accountable!!

To be honest. 8 minutes is long my knee started hurting at 3 minutes. Sawry :-(

I think the thing that they will have to prove is that he intended to kill George Floyd. I cannot believe he would be that stupid.. I would think he should be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

What was put into place for all of Floyd's victims? Nothing!! What a surprise!!

THATS ALATTA GODDAMN LAWYERS 😂

Their collective knees killed the same number of people Chauvin did... zero.

they are going to let that white Racist cop go because of his skin color

Defining trial for America is it still a white America or a America for all people ? He’s on video what more evidence you need ? Police motto isn’t to rule and kill...it’s to protect and serve.

Those me are submitting, bunch of week men I would have wanted to burn this whole fucking world down and not kneel. Die on your feet soldier!

these guys are snakes. they didnt care about George before. its all about that 27 million. once its all over you wont hear from these guys again. there wont be any BLM or George or any black college funds from these guys. its tough being AA when your own people dont care

Prosecutors have not said when they will play the video - but legal experts expect it to be early .

مكة 🥺

Hope they bought knee pads with those 27M they got.

ACAB

Opening statements will be heard from the prosecution . The defense is not required to make opening statement .

Did they also take fentanyl and meth?

Got a BAD feeling, that this trial will not go the way everyone is hoping. Get ready, cause chaos may erupt. Especially in Minnesota.

Good thing they didn’t swallow a bag of fentanyl to fully mimic the events of the day

So brave. Send them to war frontlines.

Black Life Doesn't Matter, at all.

Drugs killed him not the cops.

Yes he should be held accountable for not following proper police procedure. (Being fired and they won a massive payout) no he should not be charged guilty for murder

You do not have to watch this At ALL (or Comment). They are Hee Haw, All in the family, King of the Hill, and Rosanne reruns available. Can you imagine coming here just to be HATEFUL? SeeTheFaces

Fair trial? No chance or there will be riots.

Live coverage of Derek Chauvin court case begins today in Minnesota .

I hope you see this George Floyd, where ever you are. While they all kneel for 8 minutes, while your family dressed in designer suits, laugh at small talk to pass this time, while they kneel before a media who exploits you further.

GREAT, the Officer need to be held accountable because his behavior and ACT was very very WRONG!

Prosecution over charged. Chauvin will walk.

Opening statements begin in the trial of Derek Chauvin.

Confirming that this is just a show trial and circus. St Floyd was responsible for his own death

27 millions dollars will make them forget all that.

A waste of time and money. Floyd’s murderer will be set free because of the color of the murderer’s skin. 😏
