John Bazemore/APThe casket of George Floyd arrives Saturday in Raeford, N.C. Floyd was called a gentle giant.In a service punctuated throughout by moments of ecstatic worship and praise, the family of George Floyd gathered in Raeford, N.C. to honor the life of a man who was killed by Minneapolis police nearly two weeks ago.
Several public officials also joined the family, including members of the state's congressional delegation, Democrat G.K. Butterfield and Republican Richard Hudson. A spokesman for North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper presented the family with a flag that had flown at the state Capitol. Hoke County Sheriff Hubert Peterkin, who also spoke, had a message for fellow law enforcement officers,"It don't mean nothing if you can't say these six words: We are part of the problem."
"Although it took 8 minutes and 46 seconds for him to die, it took 401 years to put the system in place for nothing to happen," said Stackhouse, mentioning the amount of time then-officer Derek Chauvin was seen kneeling on Floyd's neck.
