We’ve heard the late Jordan Neely called a lot of things, from a “homeless dancer” to a “beloved Michael Jackson impersonator.” Reportedly, he wasn’t doing his Michael Jackson impersonation when he threatened a bunch of people on a New York City subway car. Though he died from a chokehold like George Floyd, we’ve only heard of one funeral being planned for Neely. It will be interesting to see how many New York politicians show up to pay their respects.
Not at all interesting is the fact that the Rev. Al Sharpton will be giving a eulogy:

Timothy H.J. Nerozzi reports for Fox News:
Rev. Al Sharpton is scheduled to give a eulogy at the funeral for Jordan Neely — the 30-year-old who died after being choked during a threatening outburst on the New York City subway.
The service is being held at Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem on Friday.
“As we face sorrow, pain, and uncertainty in the wake of Jordan’s senseless killing, it is crucial that we come together in the spirit of healing, action, and perseverance,” said Rev. Johnnie Melvin Green, Jr., Mount Neboh’s lead pastor.
He continued, “I can think of no one better, no one more equipped to meet this moment with that grace and guidance than Rev. Sharpton.”
Think harder.
Who will make more mention of Neely’s 44 arrests: Sharpton or the mainstream media? We’re sure they’re blowing up the photo of him when he was 19 to place nearby the casket.
We should probably try to sound more sad about it, but Sharpton is just the clown arriving at the circus.
So predictable — right on time

A career race grifter eulogizing a former violent danger to society to further sow racial division in the country.
Fitting 🫠

Wow. Doesn’t he always show up to these things.

I’m a nun if he’s a reverend

Sharpton didn't know Jordan Neely. I guess anyone can give a 'eulogy' these days for people they don't know.

The check must have cleared because we all know he did not know him.

I'm sure Reverend Sharpton will dramatically de-escalate tensions.

Whatever he can do to keep his people down. If they admit that this fictitious problem was solved then he would not have anything to talk about. False outrage keeps his job security

I'm sure it will be a restrained and uplifting eulogy 🤦♂️

But not at Chicago Police Officer Aréanah Preston’s funeral. https://t.co/lcGa6iUBlx

And yet with the hundreds of black on black crime victims in NYC the "reverend" has been noticeably absent at their funerals. Nothing to fund raise for at those. You'd just be showing up cause your cared.

I would love to give the eulogy at Al Sharpton’s funeral

We don’t know if this funeral will have the national reach that Floyd’s did. Sharpton’s going to expect network news coverage, particularly a live stream of the event.
