Minnesota AG Keith Ellison to take over case in Floyd killing
Star Tribune ^ | June 1, 2020 | Stephen Montemayor

Posted on 06/01/2020 8:21:59 AM PDT by maggief

In an unusual legal maneuver, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison will take the lead in the prosecution of the fired Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died last week in police custody.

Gov. Tim Walz said Sunday that he concluded Ellison needed to take over the case from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office at the urging of Floyd’s family, community activists, and some members of the Minneapolis City Council seeking a vigorous prosecution of the officer, 44-year-old Derek Chauvin.

“This decision is one that I feel takes us in that direction and the step to start getting the justice for George Floyd,” Walz said Sunday. “When I spoke to the Floyd family they were very clear: They wanted the system to work for them. They wanted to believe that there was trust and they wanted to feel like the facts would be heard and justice would be served.”

Ellison said he plans to “bring to bear all the resources necessary” to prosecute the case. “I just want to let the public know we are pursuing justice, we are pursuing truth, we are doing it vigorously,” Ellison said.

Al Sharpton: George Floyd couldn’t breathe. We protest because now all of Black America can’t either.
NBC “News” / Comcast ^ | May 31, 2020 | Rev. Al Sharpton

Sharpton a key advisor to Obama on Ferguson (reported back directly to Valerie Jarrett)

NY Post ^ | August 22, 2014

The veteran activist, who is also leading Saturday’s march on Staten Island against alleged police brutality in New York, even suggested Jarrett turn up the heat on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, and appoint a special prosecutor to replace St. Louis prosecutor Bob McCulloch in the Brown case.

How many cops murdered since the last Antifa riots? No one rioted to protest them. Violent protesters need a ‘lead’ reminder of that.

The son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tweeted on Sunday that he is declaring his support for Antifa after President Trump said that his administration would be declaring it a “Terrorist Organization.”

Jeremiah Ellison, who is a member of the Minneapolis City Council, noted in the tweet that he believes “white power” terrorists are actually the ones engaging in the looting, arson and other riot activities as violent sects hijack some of the protests against racial inequality and police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd last Monday.

“I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA,” Ellison said. “Unless someone can prove to me ANTIFA is behind the burning of black and immigrant owned businesses in my ward, I’ll keep focusing on stopping the white power terrorist THE ARE ACTUALLY ATTACKING US!”

This should be good. The judicial equivalent of the James Brown estate settlement. Drag it out for years and years and years and year.

Has James even been buried yet?

It’s funny to see a skinny homosexual make a fist. It’s like that was the first time they ever did that.

Yeah, Ellison bring a knotted rope with him to start the trial would be a clue.

If the leftist traitor Ellison is a piece of s#!*, you must acquit.

Settled part of the estate. Maxine Waters is wearing his wigs.

Bill O'Reilly told that one years ago on Fox. That dates the joke.

“How on earth did radical Keith Ellison end up as a state AG?”

In the 2018 election, Ellison only received 49% or the vote. A candidate from the Grassroots Party received 5.7% of the vote and that those votes kept the Republican from winning.

What a cute down-low couple. LOL. I’ll bet immediately after that they went and found them a public restroom stall or a bush in the public park to hide behind.

They are so painfully liberal, so eager to prove their virtue, that they will destroy themselves to prove what good people they are.
