Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison will take the lead in the prosecution of the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man who died last week in police custody, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Sunday evening.
In a press conference, Walz said protesters across the United States had made it “very clear” that “they don’t trust the process, they don’t believe justice can be served, and their frustrations are that they believe time and time again that the system works perfectly well as it was designed: to deny those rights and deny justice to communities of colour.”
