Keith Ellison: Derek Chauvin Jury Verdict Is not Justice but Accountability
breitbart ^ | 20 Apr 2021 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 04/20/2021 4:21:07 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

Attorney General of Minnesota Keith Ellison said Tuesday that the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial was not justice.

“I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration,” Ellison said. “But it is accountability, which is the first step toward justice.”

The jury found Chauvin guilty on all three charges of killing George Floyd; second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

Ellison spoke to reporters at a press conference after the verdict.

“Now the cause of justice is in your hands,” he said. “And when I say your hands, I mean, the people of the United States.”

Ellison thanked everyone who stepped up to protest the death of George Floyd and those who testified against Chauvin in the case.

“They stopped and they raised their voices because they knew that what they were seeing was wrong,” he said.

He also thanked Americans for peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd and demanding justice.

“I urge everyone to honor the legacy of George Floyd by doing so calmly, legally, and peacefully,” he said.

When will everyone in america get true justice for all the death and destruction blacks have caused?

I’d really like to see that.

ellison is an anti-American raciest POS. The progressives in this country have always been the raciest. The only difference now is that are treating us the same way they used to treat blacks.

So, subservience to mob violence wins out “...which is the first step toward justice.” What next, summary execution when it serves the mob? The distortions we hear from terrorist supporters like Ellison are like cancer symptoms, either we do something about it, or fatality is almost assured.

Yes, in Amerika, as a black man, you can pass counterfeit bills, swallow lethal doses of fentanyl while having numerous other illegal drugs in your system, resist arrest, and SOMEONE ELSE is “accountable”.

What a country it has become.

it was not murder and it was not planned and the death was from a massive drug overdose and cardiac issues....

the cop deserved a fair trial...he did not get one...

no sequestraion AFTER a multi million dollar settlement was made...

threats and attacks on people and cops...

a church burnt...

politcos speaking publically about convicting the defendent before the trial even concluded...

if there is a "justice" system this conviction will be thrown out immediately and a new trial, far away from Minneapolis should be held....either that, if possible, just a judgment from the bench and Chauvin goes away for 5 yrs for just being an idiot...

Uh, didn’t the family already get a $27 million award or am I missing something? Sounds like the thug life at least paid off for the rest of his dysfunctional clan.

I have had difficulty understanding the racist blacks complain about white privilege. BUT, I FULLY understand this “Black privilege” verdict.

Silence is deafening from the Left.

The officers all walked and the compromising video was suppressed for years and nobody in the national news gave a damn. Two sets of justice in this country. And if “everyone” had give this attention, perhaps nobody else would be dying from this hold/manuver.

“The Dallas Morning News obtained body camera footage that was tied up in a legal battle for three years. The videos show Dallas Police responding after Tony Timpa called 911 and told dispatchers he was off his medication and had used cocaine.”

Blacks have killed more American whites than the Khmer Rouge Viet Kong Taliban and Al-Qaeda combined.

[Muslim] Attorney General of Minnesota Keith Ellison

At the age of 19, while attending Wayne State University in Detroit, Ellison converted from Catholicism to Islam, later giving the following explanation: “I can’t claim that I was the most observant Catholic at the time . I had begun to really look around and ask myself about the social circumstances of the country, issues of justice, issues of change. When I looked at my spiritual life, and I looked at what might inform social change, justice in society ... I found Islam.”

You reap what you sow. No one with brain should want to be a police officer in a city run by Democrats and/or with a large black population. It’s time to pull out, let the killing accelerate and thin out the herd.

I hope Minnesota burns, and every white liberal who voted for Biden gets robbed while the cops just stand idly by.

Maybe it’s time all us “racists” start burning down the cities! Since that’s the only way forward for “progress”. You cannot fight back any longer with just words apparently. Are we going to go down in history with a whimper or fight like our ancestors did.

A felon who passed a counterfeit bill illegally using drugs and we’re supposed to “honor” this?? Don’t think so.
