Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a firebrand liberal, placated activists when he announced he was escalating charges against the Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck and was pressing charges against the other officers who didn't intervene.
But by upping the stakes in what are likely to be high-profile, emotional trials, Ellison may have also set the stage for more disappointment, frustration, and rage, with local and national political ramifications.
Minnesota offers President Trump and presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden the opportunity to pick up 10 Electoral College votes as they jostle for 270 this fall. Biden, the former vice president, had a 5 percentage point lead in a May Star Tribune poll after Trump lost Minnesota to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by a point-and-a-half and Vice President Mike Pence visited the state during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Trump campaign has long talked about expanding the 2020 playing field to include Minnesota. If the president won the state, it would relieve pressure to come out on top in other battlegrounds, such as neighboring Wisconsin. Or, potentially Arizona, long a red state but whose 11 electoral votes are now up for grabs, according to recent polling.

The Minnesota DFL party will have to bribe the judge inthe case.
BTW, as some poster elsewhere pointed out, the D stands for Dumb, and the L stands for Liberal.
That’s the goal!
More riots in November!

Sadly enough, Rudy G says it should be 1st degree murder.
Jeremiah Ellison, City Board, Keith's muslim son,
Ilhan Omar, Minneapolis US representative, muslim incestuous slut,
“Keith Ellison’s George Floyd charges could ignite Minnesota ‘tinderbox’ if they fail”
he’s grossly over-charged the whole lot of them on purpose precisely to trigger a new round of nationwide looting and rioting when the inevitable not-guilty verdicts come in ... one of the cops charged with “aiding and abetting” was a rookie who had been on patrol for only four days and kept telling the killer to turn Floyd over ...
No trial till after the election.
Hi.
There is a small chance that CWII starts here and now.
Black swan event. Reichestag fire, I don’t know. It is now a time to stand.
Prepare, practice and pay attention.

“Legal experts” on TV always say a murder trial isn’t likely to begin before 1 year of the murder. George Floyd died at the end of May 2020. I don’t expect the murder trial to begin until May 2021, way after the November general election.
Oh they will fail because they are over-charged. One of the cops out there was a new rookie on his 4th day. What the H did he know? Cops learn on the job (OJT = on the job training). There they go again, Dems politicizing criminal process. Screw the rule of law.
Im sure the cop can get a fair untainted Jury.
What a racist thing to say? Does that mean blacks won't be satisfied with a verdict from a MN court and Kieth Ellison as AG? Yes, it does. And I agree.
Damn good chance that is exactly the plan. If These guys are acquitted the country will blow wide open.
And throw in the fact there will be no PD on Minneapolis. What can possibly go wrong? If the Police were smart, they’d all turn in their badges tomorrow since they’re gonna get fired anyway. Let Minneapolis burn to the ground then maybe....just maybe the people will wake up. They have only themselves to blame for putting these people in power. You reap what you sow.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Who created the tinderbox?
They will say he committed 2nd Degree Murder (even if they don’t have evidence) to appease the mob and if he gets acquired on 2nd degree, but convicted on 3rd or manslaughter they can still use it as a excuse to riot.
Fixed it.
THE DUDE I guess graduated H.S. none was named, and he went to college, for one year, and dropped out, again no name of College!!! He wanted to pursue his ART talent ...and did or does Murals, and comic books...and it says He teaches ART....I HOPE he isn't teaching in a Public School system, as there is no TEACHING DEGREE listed for him...
So this is the genius, along with his dad and The leader of the City Council who wants to do away with the POLICE DEPT..IN MN...
smh ...just unbelievable
