The officer showed no remorse while watching the soul leave his body. He begged and pleaded many times for you to give up, but you pushed harder. Why must the lobby corrupt and broken . Laws were put in place for the africanamericans to fail. These laws need to be changed. No more hate crimes, please. Someone said, make America Great again, but when has america ever been great .

On ayou can put your knee hold it downd eight minutes and 46 seconds, that is not even normal to a , that is normal to a police officer. Lauren hundreds of people are lining the streets for George Floyds funeral procession. Mourners paid their final respects. His body was loaded onto that hearse you see on a horsedrawn cart. Dozens have been walking alongside the court cart as it travels to houston. George floyd is to be laid to rest next to his mother. John hendren is live in houston for us. Through the main parts about funeral, the Main Elements that stood out for you. John it was a long and often powerful ceremony. It was scheduled to be three hours. It lasted four and a half. There were three pastors that spoke before rev. Al sharpton. There were politicians. Family members spoke of george floyd largely as a man. You just played those soundbites. There was a powerful statement by his niece, that got a powerful response. She said, since when was america ever great . That really speaks to the africanamerican experience here, in a country where the original black inhabitants did not come of their own volition. They were included in the constitution, but as property, and only counted as 3 5 of a person when it comes to congressional ledges representation. That is the legacy they are talking about, 400 years of illtreatment and racism in the United States. You heard some of that. The rev. Al sharpton struck a heitive note when he said said george, laid to rest. Your family will miss you, but you started a movement that is going to change the world. We heard that theme over and over. Joe biden spoke directly to floyds daughter, sixyearold gianna, and said, your daddy will have changed the world when this is all over. There were two tracks. One, the personal track of the man, talking about the gentle giant he was, the jokes he used to play, how he used to play football in high school, how physically intimidating he was, but what a gentle bear he was. Then there was the political aspect. You had a number of politicians talking about him as a kind of involuntary, accidental change national launched this , indeed International Movement, not so much by what he did, but by what was done to him. Lauren as we watch the funeral procession heading into the cemetery, there are some changes being made, arent there, to the policing, for instance . Do you think those will be enough to satisfy protesters, or do you think they will need more than that . There are several stages to that. I was in minneapolis talking to people protesting in the streets and it seems they would go on forever and indeed they continued today. Tot will it take for these end . The arrest and charge of those officers . They said no, it is a start. Once they charged the first officer there was a sense of satisfaction something had been done. Then when the other three were charged there was a sense that ok, the Justice System is paying attention. Manyny i talked to said it was only paying attention because of the uproar it caused across the nation. A vetoproof majority of the Minneapolis City Council saying they want to disband, defund the police department. That is a theme that has a different meaning depending who you talk to. For many in means reducing funding for police and using some of that funding for things like mental health, training, homelessness. You also have legislation in congress and people marching on capitals across the u. S. And around the world. There was a protest in senegal today. It seems to be initiating some change. So far, very little concrete change. We are not seeing massive legal change in this country. That comes at a slow pace. The people i talked to say they hope it is coming and they will continue protesting until it does. Lauren thank you. U. S.
